The 8th tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) classification of the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) can be used to estimate the prognosis of gastric neuroendocrine tumor (gNET) and gastric neuroendocr...
First, in the SEER (training) dataset, a TNMG system was built by combining the WHO G grade (G1-4; NEC grouped into G4) with the 8th AJCC T (T1-4), N (N0-1), and M (M0-1) stage, which was then validat...
In all, 2245 gNENs cases from the training dataset and 280 cases from the validation dataset were eligible. The T stage, M stage, and G grade were independent prognostic factors for OS in both dataset...
The proposed TNMG staging system could more accurately predict the 3- and 5-year OS rate of gNENs patients than the 8th AJCC TNM staging system....
To review the outcomes of surgically resected lung neuroendocrine neoplasms (LNEN) at a tertiary referral centre and to validate a previously published LNEN-specific staging system (NETL)....
All patients who were identified on histopathology to have LNEN were included. Pre-, intra- and post-operative outcomes were collected, including long-term survival. Patients were staged by both the T...
A total of 132 patients were included in the study, with a median age of 65 years; 55% were female. Typical carcinoid (TC) was the most common pathology (53.4%) followed by large cell neuroendocrine c...
This is the largest known Australian series of LNEN to date, showing survival comparable to international outcomes. We have demonstrated large variations in outcome, driven by histological grade. The ...
Breast cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer death in women worldwide due to its variable aggressiveness and high propensity to develop distant metastases. The staging can be performed clinica...
This study aims to determine whether Pokemon regulates Bim activity in colorectal carcinoma (CRC) carcinogenesis....
Clinical tissue samples were analyzed to detect the expression and clinicopathological significance of Pokemon and Bim in CRC. Proliferation, apoptosis, and invasion assays were conducted to identify ...
Immunohistochemical analysis of 80 samples of colorectal epithelia (CRE), 80 cases of colorectal adenoma (CRA), and 160 of CRC samples revealed protein expression rates of 23.8%, 38.8%, and 70.6% for ...
These findings suggest that Pokemon inhibits Bim transcription, thereby promoting CRC proliferation, resistance to apoptosis, invasion, and advancing histological grade and Dukes staging. Pokemon knoc...
Preoperative localization is necessary for nonpalpable breast lesions. A novel procedure, fluoroscopic intraoperative neoplasm and node detection (FIND), obviates the preoperative painful and potentia...
This is an IRB-approved retrospective study (September 2016 to March 2021). Electronic chart review identified breast and axillary node procedures using wire localization (WL) or FIND. Primary outcome...
We identified 459 patients, of whom 116 (25.3%) underwent FIND and 343 (74.7%) WL. Of these, 68.1% of FIND and 72.0% of WL procedures were for malignant lesions. Final margin positivity was 5.1% (4 of...
FIND has lower positive margin rates and a trend towards lower re-excision rates compared with WL, proving its value in localizing nonpalpable breast lesions. It also offers accurate localization of a...
Neuroendocrine neoplasm (NEN) of the gallbladder is rare. It is usually asymptomatic and occurs in older adults. Its clinicopathological characteristics remain controversial, and the diagnosis and tre...
The data of patients with gallbladder NEN admitted to Peking Union Medical College Hospital was reviewed, and a database was established for retrospective analysis. Clinicopathological features were a...
In total, 22 patients with gallbladder NEN were included in this study. There were 10 male (45.5%) and 12 female (54.5%) patients with a median age of onset of NEN at 57.5 (49.0, 62.3) years. Abdomina...
Gallbladder NEN is more common in the elderly and has a slight female predominance. The most common symptom is abdominal discomfort. Surgery is the first choice of treatment for this rare disease. The...
Although glucose has a well-recognized protumoral role and the pancreas is a critical organ in adjusting glucose metabolism, the clinical value of hyperglycemia in pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms ...
A retrospective study including 335 patients with pathologically confirmed pNENs was conducted. A baseline fasting blood glucose concentration ≥5.6 mmol/L was defined as hyperglycemia (otherwise, norm...
Compared with patients with normal glucose, patients with hyperglycemia (47.8%) had a higher proportion of preexisting diabetes mellitus (DM) (36.9% vs. 4.6%, p < 0.001), lymph node involvement (31.0%...
Hyperglycemia is an independent predictor of overall survival and is associated with preexisting DM or lymphatic metastasis in patients with pNENs. Patients with hyperglycemia and resectable pNENs may...
The aim of the study was to explore the rate of upstaging after complete surgical staging among patients with apparent FIGO stage I ovarian mucinous carcinoma....
Ovarian mucinous carcinoma patients with surgical treatment at the Peking Union Medical College Hospital between October 2020 and January 1994 were retrospectively reviewed....
In total, 163 patients were included in this study. Surgical restaging was performed in 89 patients after initial incomplete surgical staging, and one-step complete surgical staging was performed in 7...
For patients with apparent FIGO stage IA disease, the possibility of residual tumors and upstaging is relatively low. For patients with cystectomy, bilateral mucinous carcinomas, or a history of ovari...
Adequate staging of early rectal neoplasms is essential for organ-preserving treatments, but magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) frequently overestimates the stage of those lesions. We aimed to compare t...
This retrospective study in a tertiary Western cancer center included consecutive patients evaluated by magnifying chromoendoscopy and MRI who underwent en bloc resection of nonpedunculated sessile po...
Specificity of magnifying chromoendoscopy was 97.3% (95% CI 92.2-99.4), and accuracy was 92.7% (95% CI 86.7-96.6) for predicting invasion deeper than T1sm1 (not amenable to local excision). MRI had lo...
Magnifying chromoendoscopy is reliable for predicting invasion depth in early rectal neoplasms and selecting patients for local excision....
In recent years, positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MRI) has been clinically used as a method to diagnose non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This study aimed to evaluate the...
This retrospective study was performed on consecutive NSCLC patients who underwent both diagnostic CT and...
A total of 82 subjects were included; PET/MRI staging was more consistent (59 of 82) with pathological staging than with CT staging. There was a total of 21 cases of CT and 11 cases of PET/MRI that we...
In NSCLC, pathologic staging was better at predicting recurrence, and preoperative PET/MRI staging was better at predicting survival. Preoperative staging by PET/MRI was superior to CT in diagnosing h...
