Article Abstract
We comment on the recent study by Fröhlich et al., which evaluated the influence of adherence to multidisciplinary tumor board (MDT) recommendations on oncological outcomes in high-risk prostate cancer patients following radical prostatectomy. While this study contributes valuable real-world data, we highlight several limitations. Notably, psychosocial factors influencing adherence, such as fear of toxicity and socioeconomic concerns, were not addressed. Additionally, selection bias may have influenced the observed benefits of adjuvant radiotherapy, warranting the use of propensity score methods in future analyses. Finally, the lack of improvement in overall survival despite better biochemical recurrence-free survival raises questions about the clinical relevance of surrogate endpoints. We advocate for broader, patient-centered approaches and methodological rigor in future investigations.

Deciphering adrenal cysts: unveiling insights into imaging, histology, and optimal management approaches.
Minerva Endocrinol (Torino)
September 2025
Department of Endocrinology, Karolinska University Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden -
Adrenal cysts are rare lesions that are increasingly discovered incidentally during radiological examinations conducted without suspicion of adrenal disease. Typically benign, hormonally nonfunctional, and asymptomatic, these lesions may occasionally manifest mass effect symptoms such as pain or abdominal discomfort, particularly in large cysts. Management approaches vary from no follow-up to hormonal investigation, imaging follow-up, or adrenalectomy, especially if the cyst is growing or exhibits an atypical appearance.

Background: BMPR2 mutations cause heritable pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and may also influence epithelial carcinogenesis.
Case Summary: We report 3 women with BMPR2-related PAH who developed early onset epithelial cancers: 2 breast cancers (34 and 54 years of age) and 1 colorectal cancer (47 years of age). All were on advanced PAH therapy at diagnosis.

Juvenile fibroadenoma typically is seen in the adolescent patient and has distinctive clinical and histopathological features that are related to the early onset of the benign tumor. Only rarely can juvenile fibroadenoma occur as a prepubertal lesion or may be detected earlier in childhood, raising questions about differential diagnosis and management of the lesion. We present a case of very early first manifestation of juvenile fibroadenoma in a 2-year-old patient.

Oral cancer pathogenesis is significantly influenced by species, especially , through chronic inflammation and cellular dysregulation. Epidemiological studies highlight a strong correlation between persistent infections and oral carcinogenesis. Experimental evidence has identified key biomolecular mechanisms, including biofilm formation, epithelial invasion, and immune evasion.

Splenic pseudocysts represent an uncommon condition in abdominal surgery, generally resulting from trauma, infection, or ischemic processes. Histologically, they are characterized by the absence of an epithelial lining; that is, they lack the inner layer of cells typically found in true cysts. Its clinical presentation is non-specific, commonly manifesting with abdominal pain, early satiety, or alterations in bowel habits, which lead to late or incidental diagnoses through imaging studies.
