Commentary on: Hydatidiform mole in the scar of uterus: a case report
We read with great interest the paper published by Jiang et al. [1]. They illustrated a case of cesarean scar molar pregnancy in which the patient complained of vaginal bleeding and amenorrhea, and the concentration of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) increased abnormally and eventually recovered following comprehensive therapy including suction evacuation, uterine arterial embolization (UAE), and chemotherapy.
Molecular signatures of aggressive pediatric liver cancer
Liver masses account for 5 to 6% of pediatric cancer, which includes hepatoblastoma (HBL) along with rare cases of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The most dangerous form of pediatric liver cancer is aggressive HBL, which can be characterized by chemo-resistance and multiple nodules or metastases at diagnosis, all correlating with worse clinical prognosis. Despite intensive studies and a significant improvement in overall outcomes, very little is known about the key molecular pathways which determine the aggressiveness of pediatric liver cancer.
From molecular mechanisms to precision medicine: Transformative approaches in cirrhosis management
The rising prevalence of cirrhosis has become a significant global health concern. Cirrhosis is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, contributing to a substantial burden on healthcare systems and economies.
Gastric marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of MALT type – An updated histo- and molecular pathological summary
Gastric marginal zone lymphoma (gMZBL) is the most frequent type of extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT). The histology of gMZBL shows typical small cell morphology, however, there also exists a large cell variant.
Genetic mutations in the molecular pathogenesis of gastrointestinal stromal tumor
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors are mesenchymal tumors which predominantly originate from the interstitial cells of Cajal in the intestinal lining. Around ~85% of malignant GISTs possess activating mutations in the tyrosine kinase receptors KIT or PDGFRA. The driver mutations in genes other than KIT or PDGFRA account for around 15% GISTs and belong to highly heterogeneous groups called wild-type GISTs. Around 20–40% of WT-GISTS are deficient for the succinate dehydrogenase complex (SDHA, SDHB, SDHC, SDHD).
