Correlation Between Onco-suppressors PTEN and NM23 and Clinical Outcome in Patients With T1 Breast Cancer
Conclusion: Low or lack of PTEN and NM23 immunohistochemical expression in cancer tissue is a risk factor for lymph node involvement and recurrent disease. It may represent a valid prognostic factor in planning therapy in patients who had surgery for T1 breast cancer. (Source: In Vivo)

The Angiotensin-converting Enzyme Insertion/Deletion Polymorphism as a Common Risk Factor for Major Pregnancy Complications
Idiopathic pregnancy complications pose a major threat to both maternal and fetal health worldwide. Numerous studies have implicated the role of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) in the development of obstetric syndromes, since it is crucial for the uteroplacental function. A major RAS component is the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), which hydrolyses angiotensin I to angiotensin II, and not only regulates arterial pressure, but also fibrinolytic activity, indirectly, through the expression of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1. A key functional polymorphism of the ACE gene is the insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism,...

Inflammatory Fibroid Polyp of the Gastrointestinal Tract: A Systematic Review for a Benign Tumor
Conclusion: It is relatively safe to conclude that both the etiology and the timing of diagnosis might change the histopathology, immunohistological staining and tissue structure of IFP. Suggested theories should be taken into consideration with caution as the etiology and pathophysiological mechanisms of IFP are unknown. (Source: In Vivo)

Contemporary Molecular Classification of Urinary Bladder Cancer
The significant heterogeneity in the clinical outcome among patients with bladder cancer has highlighted the existence of different biological subtypes of muscle-invasive and non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer. Transcriptional profiling studies revealed that primary bladder cancers can be grouped into ‘intrinsic’ basal and luminal molecular subtypes. Luminal tumors have a papillary configuration and express markers of urothelial differentiation (uroplakins, cytokeratin 20) fibroblast growth factor 3 (FGFR3), E-cadherin and early cell-cycle genes. On the contrary, basal tumors express markers of the basal layer ...

An Update on Clinicopathological, Imaging and Genetic Features of Desmoplastic Fibroblastoma (Collagenous Fibroma)
Desmoplastic fibroblastoma (also known as collagenous fibroma) is an uncommon benign fibroblastic/myofibroblastic neoplasm that primarily arises in the subcutaneous tissue of upper extremity. Magnetic resonance imaging reveals a well-defined mass in intimate association with dense connective tissue and prominent low signal intensity on all pulse sequences. Peripheral and septal enhancement is usually seen after intravenous contrast. Histologically, the lesion is paucicellular and consists of spindle to stellate-shaped cells embedded in a collagenous or myxocollagenous stroma with low vascularity. Diffuse and strong nuclear...
