Notes

Overexpression of EWSR1 (Ewing sarcoma breakpoint location 1/EWS RNA presenting protein 1) states very poor survival inside individuals with hepatocellular carcinoma.
Fourteen out of these 15 were judged at "unclear" risk and 1 at "low" risk of bias. No significant differences between groups were observed in the different follow-up periods for retention rates 12 to 24 months (p = 0.66), 24 to 36 months (p = 0.21) and 60 months (p = 0.96). A significant difference in marginal integrity was found at 12 to 24 months (p = 0.04) and in marginal discoloration at 12 to 24 months (p = 0.003).

There is no evidence that 3-step ER adhesives have better retention rates than 1-step SE adhesives in NCCLs.

We describe a case of primary anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) arising from a deep skeletal muscle in a middle-aged male. He presented with a two-month history of swelling of his right thigh and mild fever, which led to a diagnosis of abscess formation. Antibiotics were prescribed for two weeks, with little improvement of symptoms. Subsequently, an exploratory surgery, with excision of the mass, demonstrated a ALCL of the psoas muscle, ALK-1 positive.We read with great interest the review article "Lymphocytic gastritis" by Puderecki et al., which was recently published in your journal [1]. The article describes the features of lymphocytic gastritis (LG), a rare form of gastritis with unclear pathogenesis. The diagnosis of LG is based on histology which reveals intraepithelial lymphocytosis (> 25 intraepithelial lymphocytes per 100 gastric surface and foveolar epithelial cells). The endoscopic appearance of LG can vary from normal mucosa to aphthous erosions, nodularity, local spots, polyps, and ulcers. The most common locations of the lesions are the body and the antrum. With regard to etiology, Celiac disease (CD) is the main reported cause of LG, followed by Helicobacter pylori infection. After a careful review of the argument, Puderecki et al. conclude that there is no one exact cause of LG, and rather than being a separate disease, LG is more likely a sign of the disease with which it is associated [1]. We wrote to remark on the strong connection between LG and CD. Such a connection may allow some etiopathogenetic and clinical speculations.Gastrointestinal type of endometrial carcinoma is a newly described entity for which clearly defined diagnostic criteria have only recently been published. Among morphologic criteria, gastrointestinal mucinous adenocarcinoma of endometrium must not show a typical endometrioid component. We present a case with morphologic diversity, with areas showing gastric and intestinal differentiation as well as an endometrioid-like component. However, the endometrioid-like component not only did not show classic squamous metaplasia, but was also MUC6-positive, while the positivity for ER/PR was only focal. The recognition of gastric/gastrointestinal differentiation in endometrial carcinomas is best accomplished using both morphology and immunohistochemistry rather than either alone.In our pilot study we have aimed to assess interlaboratory variability of cytological diagnoses in selected laboratories participating in the Polish Cervical Cancer Screening Programme (CCSP) to establish grounds for certification system for cytodiagnosticians and to monitor the quality of services. Set of 50 selected Pap smears, previously reassessed by an expert on the grounds of clinical, colposcopic and histological data was blinded and sent to 15 laboratories in Poland with request for evaluation according to routine practice according to the Bethesda 2001 system. Concordance with expert diagnoses reached a median of 82% (range 66% to 92%), with median unweighted κ coefficient at κ = 0.67 (range 0.40 to 0.86) depending on laboratory. AZD0530 concentration This indicates substantial agreement among laboratories, however with essential differences in proper evaluation in some outlying laboratories. Agreement was highest in samples with high-grade, lower for low-grade abnormalities. Slides with ASC-US and ASC-H expert diagnoses were most troubling for cytodiagnosticians. Sets of highly selected cytological slides with expert diagnoses may serve as a tool in the process of comprehensive periodic recertification of cytodiagnosticians in the screening programme. A benchmark level of agreement with expert diagnoses should be established to guide corrective actions for cytodiagnosticians with lowest agreement.The purpose of the study was to investigate HPV16 infection in laryngeal cancer patients treated with surgery and adjuvant radiotherapy as well as to analyze treatment results in relation to HPV16 infection and selected clinical, histopathological, and radiotherapy parameters. A retrospective analysis was performed in a group of 60 patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx treated surgically and qualified for adjuvant radiotherapy at the Oncology Center in Cracow between 1995 and 2001. The studied group consisted of 57 men (95%) and 3 women (5%) of mean age of 56 years. In 13 patients (22%) underweight was noted. In the analyzed material, locally advanced laryngeal cancer prevailed (pT3-pT4) - 52 cases (87%), with the involvement of cervical lymph nodes (pN+) - 32 cases (53%). Histopathological examination revealed that microscopic radicality was not obtained in 18 patients (30%). Human papillomavirus 16 infection status as well as infection type (integrated, episomal, or mixed) were assessed in each patient by means of quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) using real-time detection. The 5-year OS, DFS, and LC rates were 45%, 61%, and 69%, respectively. Multivariate analysis revealed that local relapse risk and local failure risk were statistically significantly influenced by underweight and positive surgical margin. Underweight had also a statistically significant impact on death risk. The HPV16 infection was noticed in 4 cancers (6.8%). In all cases it was the same episomal type. On the basis of our observations it can be assumed that HPV infection does not play an important role in etiology of laryngeal cancer. Although, further study is needed in larger patient populations; optimal methodology for detecting HPV infection should also be determined. Positive surgical margin has a significant effect on worse treatment outcomes. Underweight before radiotherapy diminishes the probability of treatment success and survival of laryngeal cancer patients.
