Background: Factors such as tumour-stroma ratio (TSR) and peritumoral inflammation have been found to be reliable independent prognostic factors in some solid tumours. The aim of this preliminary study was to assess the relationship between these factors and the predicted prognosis based on the grade of the tumour in colorectal cancer (CRC). Methods: Medical and pathological records of patients...

BACKGROUND The BRAFV600E mutation is the most common genetic alteration in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). In recent studies, the BRAFV600E mutation has been associated with poor clinicopathological characteristics, such as lymph node metastasis, extrathyroidal extension, and advanced stage. However, other studies have failed to establish an association between the BRAFV600E mutation and cli...

PURPOSE The Ki-67 labelling index is significant for the management of breast cancer. However, the concordance of Ki-67 expression between preoperative biopsy and postoperative surgical specimens has not been well evaluated. This study aimed to find the correlation in Ki-67 expression between biopsy and surgical specimens and to determine the clinicopathological risk factors associated with dis...

Histological examination of biopsy shows usefulness in the diagnosis of vocal cord leukoplakia; however, in considerable amount of cases, the examination cannot provide definitive diagnosis of malignancy from benign conditions such as hyperplasia and dysplasia. The present work therefore was aimed to identify clinicopathological factors and molecular markers predictive of recurrence and maligna...

Introduction: Extrauterine metastases often occur in patients with advanced stages of endometrial carcinoma. Retroperitoneal lymph nodes and pelvic are the most common metastatic sites for carcinoma, while distant metastases, including those to lung, liver, brain, uncommon. This study compares characteristics carcinoma or without extrauterine evaluates risk factors associated metastases.
