    Analysis of histologic follow-up and risk of malignancy for salivary gland neoplasm of uncertain malignant potential proposed by the milan system for reporting salivary gland cytopathology.
    Cancer Cytopathol 2018 Apr 18. Epub 2018 Apr 18.
    Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology, Mayo Clinic Arizona, Scottsdale, Arizona.
    Background: The Milan System for Reporting Salivary Gland Cytopathology is a tiered classification scheme that includes 6 diagnostic categories. Neoplasm, which is 1 of the 6 proposed categories, consists of benign neoplasm and neoplasm of uncertain malignant potential (NUMP). NUMP is reserved for a salivary gland neoplasm without clear distinction between benign and malignant. Read More

    MEKK2 and MEKK3 suppress Hedgehog pathway-dependent medulloblastoma by inhibiting GLI1 function.
    Oncogene 2018 Apr 17. Epub 2018 Apr 17.
    Life Sciences Institute and Innovation Center for Cell Signaling Network, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, 310058, China.
    Hedgehog (Hh) pathway plays a pivotal role in diverse aspects of development and postnatal physiology. Perturbation of Hh signaling and activation of GLI1 (glioma-associated oncogene 1), a dedicated transcription factor for Hh pathway, are highly associated with several cancers, such as medulloblastoma and basal cell carcinoma. Dynamic and precise control of GLI1 activity is thus important to ensure proper homeostasis and tumorigenesis. Read More

    Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Head and Neck-Microvascular Surgery, Clinical Affairs, Indiana University School of Medicine, Fesler Hall, 1130 W. Michigan Street, Suite 400, Indianapolis, IN 46202, USA.
    Cutaneous malignancy of the head and neck affects a large proportion of elderly patients. The severity ranges from small, easily treatable lesions to large, invasive, potentially metastatic tumors. Surgical treatment is the primary treatment of most skin cancers; however, geriatric patients are more likely to have multiple comorbidities that increase the risk of surgery. Read More

    MUSE (Microscopy with UV Surface Excitation): a novel approach to real-time inexpensive slide free dermatopathology.
    J Cutan Pathol 2018 Apr 16. Epub 2018 Apr 16.
    Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, University of California, Sacramento, CA, USA.
    Traditional histology relies on processing and physically sectioning either frozen or formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue into thin slices (typically 4-6 microns) prior to staining and viewing on a standard wide-field microscope. MUSE represents a novel alternative microscopy method that works with ultraviolet (UV) excitation using oblique cis-illumination which can generate high-quality images from the cut surface of fresh or fixed tissue after brief staining, with no requirement for fixation, embedding and histological sectioning of tissue specimens. We examined its potential utility in dermatopathology. Read More

    Vivian L. Smith Department of Neurosur-gery, University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, Texas.
    Currently, there is an incomplete understanding of the molecular pathogenesis of meningiomas, the most common primary brain tumor. Several familial syndromes are characterized by increased meningioma risk, and the genetics of these syndromes provides mechanistic insight into sporadic disease. The best defined of these syndromes is neurofibromatosis type 2, which is caused by a mutation in the NF2 gene and has a meningioma incidence of approximately 50%. Read More

    Department of Oncogene Regulation, Chittaranjan National Cancer Institute, 37, S.P. Mukherjee Road, Kolkata-700026, West Bengal, India, Kolkata, India
    To understand the mechanism of cellular stress in basal-parabasal layers of normal-cervix and during different stages of cervical carcinoma, we analyzed the alterations (expression/methylation/copy-number variation/mutation) of HIF-1α and its associated genes LIMD1, VHL and VEGF in disease free normal-cervix (n=9), adjacent normal-cervix of tumors (n=70), CIN (n=32), CACX (n=174) samples and two CACX cell lines. In basal-parabasal layers of normal-cervix, LIMD1 showed high protein-expression while low protein expression of VHL was concordant with high expression of HIF-1α and VEGF irrespective of HPV16 infection. This was in concordance with the low promoter methylation of LIMD1 and high in VHL in the basal-parabasal layers of normal-cervix. Read More

    Department of Gastroenterology, The Research Center for Hepatitis and Immunology, Research Institute, National Center for Global Health and Medicine, Chiba.
    We previously conducted transcriptome analysis of a paired specimen of normal and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) tissues and found that mRNA expression of cystatin A (CSTA), a member of the cystatin superfamily, was perturbed in tumors compared with that in the background mucosa. However, little is known about the significance of CSTA expression in ESCC.The mRNA expression of CSTA was evaluated by qRT-PCR using 28 paired frozen samples of tumor and nontumor mucosae. Read More

    Objective: Our previous differential transcriptome analysis between a paired specimen of normal and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) tissues found aberrant expression of kallikrein-related peptidase 13 (KLK13) in tumors. In this study, we evaluated the expression of KLK13 in many ESCC cases in relation with clinical features, and the prognosis.

    Methods: Eighty-eight ESCC cases were subjected to immunohistological staining for KLK13 and classified into KLK13-negative and KLK13-positive groups. Read More

    Differentiated cervical intraepithelial neoplasia-associated invasive cervical squamous cell carcinoma as a source of major cytopathological and surgical pathological discrepancy in Papanicolaou smear screening tests.
    Cytopathology 2018 Apr;29(2):143-149
    Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, The Ottawa Hospital, University of Ottawa, Ottawa, ON, Canada.
    Introduction: Differentiated cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (dCIN) analogous to differentiated squamous intraepithelial neoplasia of the vulva is characterised by the proliferation of atypical cells limited to the basal/parabasal layers. Exfoliative cytology of dCIN has not been investigated.

    Methods And Results: A 46-year-old woman, with a history of normal Papanicolaou (Pap) smear up to 2 years prior to the occurrence of postcoital vaginal bleeding had two consecutive Pap smears, which only revealed atypical squamous cells of unknown significance (ASCUS). Read More

    The evolution of bladder cancer genomics: What have we learned and how can we use it?
    Urol Oncol 2018 Mar 21. Epub 2018 Mar 21.
    Department of Urology, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, NY. Electronic address:
    Background: With advancements in molecular biology techniques, great progress has been made in the understanding of urothelial carcinoma pathogenesis.

    Objective: To examine the historic description of molecular alterations in bladder cancer and their evolution towards our current comprehension of the biology of the disease.

    Results: Historically, a two-pathway model was described from histological and cytogenetic studies: low-grade papillary non-muscle invasive bladder cancers (NMIBC) were described to arise from epithelial hyperplasia with loss of chromosome 9 as an early event, whereas muscle-invasive bladder cancers (MIBC) were considered to develop from dysplasia, associated with genetic instability.

    Perineural Spread of Nonmelanoma Skin Cancer to the Brachial Plexus: Identifying Anatomic Pathway(s).
    World Neurosurg 2018 Mar 20. Epub 2018 Mar 20.
    Department of Neurologic Surgery, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota, USA. Electronic address:
    Background: Perineural spread leading to brachial plexopathy has recently been described in cases of melanoma. The occurrence and mechanism for nonmelanoma skin cancer spread to the brachial plexus is poorly understood.

    Methods: A retrospective chart review of the Mayo Clinic database was conducted to identify patients with nonmelanoma skin cancer and brachial plexopathy between 2000 and 2017. Read More
