Cutaneous Melanoma and Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy [PDF]
To the Editors: As authors of a similar article,1 we read with great interest the report by Koskivuo et al.,2 in the December issue of the Annals of Surgical Oncology. We enthusiastically support the basic rationale for this paper and the two researched patient groups, which have been correctly balanced for most of the important prognostic factors ...

Epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) and tumor‐infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) are associated with early breast cancer response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC). This study evaluated EMT and TIL shifts, with immunofluorescence and RNA sequencing, at diagnosis and in residual tumors as potential biomarkers associated with treatment response.

Essential Updates 2023/2024: Recent Advances of Multimodal Approach in Patients for Gastric Cancer
ABSTRACT Gastric cancer remains a major global health burden, especially in East Asia. Recent years have brought significant advances in multimodal management, including surgery, perioperative chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and supportive care. This review summarizes key updates from 2023 to 2024, focusing on surgical innovations, perioperative systemic ...

A modified sentinel node and occult lesion localization (SNOLL) technique in non-palpable breast cancer. A pilot study [PDF]
Background: The spread of mammographic screening programs has allowed an increasing amount of early breast cancer diagnosis. A modern approach to non-palpable breast lesions requires an accurate intraoperative localization, in order to achieve a ...

Detection of circulating tumor cells is achieved by flow cytometry in melanoma patients
Abstract Melanoma is an aggressive skin tumor whose incidence is rising sharply, and for which the determination of new prognostic factors is a major challenge. In oncology, circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are at the heart of much research, as they represent a source of tumor material obtained non‐invasively by liquid biopsy.

ABSTRACT Objective Oral cavity carcinomas (OCCs) represent roughly 50% of all head and neck cancers. The risk of occult neck metastases for early‐stage OCCs ranges from 15% to 35%, hence the need to develop tools that can support the diagnosis of detecting these neck metastases.
