    Abstract Background: PRAME (PReferentially expressed Antigen in MElanoma) is a tumor-associated antigen that has been studied in various cutaneous melanocytic lesions. p16, on the other hand, has been proposed to aid in distinguishing between benign and malignant melanocytic neoplasms. Studies on the diagnostic utility of PRAME and p16 in combination in differentiating nevi from melanoma are limited. We aimed to assess the diagnostic utility of PRAME and p16 in melanocytic tumors and their role in distinguishing between malignant melanomas and melanocytic nevi.
    Methods: This is a single-center retrospective cohort analysis over a 4-year period (2017-2020). We used the pathological database of malignant melanomas (77 cases) and melanocytic nevi (51 cases) specimens from patients who underwent shave/punch biopsies or surgical excisions and evaluated immunohistochemical staining percentage positivity and intensity for PRAME and p16.
    Results: Most malignant melanomas showed positive/diffuse PRAME expression (89.6%); on the other hand, 96.1% of nevi did not express PRAME diffusely. p16 was expressed consistently in nevi (98.0%). However, p16 expression in malignant melanoma was infrequent in our study. PRAME had a sensitivity and specificity of 89.6% and 96.1%, respectively, for melanomas versus nevi; on the other hand, p16 had a sensitivity and specificity of 98.0% and 28.6%, respectively, for nevi versus melanoma. Also, a PRAME+/p16- melanocytic lesion is unlikely to be a nevus where most nevi were PRAME-/p16+.
    Conclusion: In conclusion, we confirm the potential utility of PRAME and p16 for distinguishing melanocytic nevi from malignant melanomas.

    Abstract Medulloblastoma (MB) is the most common malignant primary intracranial neoplasm diagnosed in childhood. Although numerous efforts have been made during the past few years to exploit novel targeted therapies for this aggressive neoplasm, there still exist substantial hitches hindering successful management of MB. Lately, progress in cancer biology has shown evidence that a subpopulation of cells within the tumour, namely cancer stem cells (CSCs), are thought to be responsible for the resistance to most chemotherapeutic agents and radiation therapy, accounting for cancer recurrence. Hence, it is crucial to identify the molecular signatures and genetic aberrations that characterise those CSCs and develop therapies that specifically target them. In this review, we aim to give an overview of the main genetic and molecular cues that depict MB-CSCs and provide a synopsis of the novel therapeutic approaches that specifically target this population of cells to attain enhanced antitumorous effects and therefore overcome resistance to therapy.

    Abstract Sclerosing polycystic adenoma (SPA) is a rare neoplasm occurring in the salivary glands, mainly the parotid gland. Although it was originally thought to represent a non-neoplastic process, recent genetic data have proven its monoclonality, supporting its neoplastic origin. We report a case of a 73-year-old woman who presented with left neck swelling and pain. A 3 cm hypoechoic, heterogeneous, solid mass was identified on neck ultrasonography within the left parotid gland. Fine needle aspiration revealed benign acinar cells and lymphocytes. Left partial superficial parotidectomy was performed and a diagnosis of SPA was made. Targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) revealed three clinically significant alterations in the

    Abstract Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second-most commonly diagnosed cancer in men around the world. It is treated using a risk stratification approach in accordance with the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) in the United States. The main treatment options for early PCa include external beam radiation therapy (EBRT), brachytherapy, radical prostatectomy, active surveillance, or a combination approach. In those with advanced disease, androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is considered as a first-line therapy. However, the majority of cases eventually progress while receiving ADT, leading to castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). The near inevitable progression to CRPC has spurred the recent development of many novel medical treatments using targeted therapies. In this review, we outline the current landscape of stem-cell-targeted therapies for PCa, summarize their mechanisms of action, and discuss avenues of future development.

    Abstract Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most frequent type of cancer in men worldwide, with 288,300 new cases and 34,700 deaths estimated in the United States in 2023. Treatment options for early-stage disease include external beam radiation therapy, brachytherapy, radical prostatectomy, active surveillance, or a combination of these. In advanced cases, androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) is considered the first-line therapy; however, PCa in most patients eventually progresses to castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) despite ADT. Nonetheless, the transition from androgen-dependent to androgen-independent tumors is not yet fully understood. The physiological processes of epithelial-to-non-epithelial ("mesenchymal") transition (EMT) and mesenchymal-to-epithelial transition (MET) are essential for normal embryonic development; however, they have also been linked to higher tumor grade, metastatic progression, and treatment resistance. Due to this association, EMT and MET have been identified as important targets for novel cancer therapies, including CRPC. Here, we discuss the transcriptional factors and signaling pathways involved in EMT, in addition to the diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers that have been identified in these processes. We also tackle the various studies that have been conducted from bench to bedside and the current landscape of EMT-targeted therapies.

    Abstract Fluid overload-associated large B-cell lymphoma (FO-LBCL) is a new entity described in the fifth edition of the World Health Organization (WHO) Classification of Hematolymphoid Tumors (WHO-HAEM5). It refers to malignant lymphoma present with symptoms of serous effusions in body cavities (pleural, peritoneal, and/or pericardial) in the absence of an identifiable tumor mass. We present a case of an 82-year-old man with a history of atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter, status post-ablation, essential hypertension (HTN), hyperlipidemia (HLD), and diabetes mellitus (DM) type 2 who was referred to our hospital for shortness of breath due to recurrent pleural effusion. Right video-assisted thoracoscopy with right pleural biopsy was performed. Histopathological examination of the pleural biopsy revealed dense fibrous tissue, chronic inflammation, lymphoid aggregates, and granulation tissue, with no evidence of lymphoma. Cytology of the right pleural fluid revealed large lymphoid cells, which were positive for CD45, CD20, PAX-5, MUM-1, BCL2, BCL6, and MYC protein. They were negative for CD3, CD10, CD138, and HHV-8 by immunohistochemistry (IHC). Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) was negative by in situ hybridization (ISH). Due to the absence of any evidence of lymphoma elsewhere, a diagnosis of fluid overload-associated large B-cell lymphoma (FO-LBCL) was made. We provide a synopsis of the main clinicopathological features of FO-LBCL and the two main differential diagnoses, primary effusion lymphoma (PEL) and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).

    Abstract Opinion statement: Medulloblastoma (MB) is the most frequent pediatric brain tumor. Despite conventional therapy, MB patients have high mortality and morbidity rates mainly due to the incomplete understanding of the molecular and cellular processes involved in development of this cancer. Similar to other solid tumors, MB demonstrated high endothelial cell proliferation and angiogenic activity, wherein new blood vessels arise from the pre-existing vasculature, a process named angiogenesis. MB angiogenesis is considered a hallmark for MB development, progression, and metastasis emphasizing its potential target for antitumor therapy. However, angiogenesis is tightly regulated by a set of angiogenic factors making it a complex process to be targeted. Although agents targeting these factors and their receptors are early in development, the potential for their targeting may translate into improvement in the clinical care for MB patients. In this review, we focus on the most potent angiogenic factors and their corresponding receptors, highlighting their basic properties and expression in MB. We describe their contribution to MB tumorigenesis and angiogenesis and the potential therapeutic targeting of these factors.

    Abstract Background and aims: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disease associated with long-term multisystem complications, among which nonhealing diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are recognized as major cause of morbidity and mortality. Treating DFUs with surgical procedures such as synthetic or biological skin grafts or skin substitutes has several limitations, where none of the currently available skin substitutes is ideal.
    Methods: OVID/Medline and PubMed databases were searched using the Medical Subject Heading (MeSH) or Title/Abstract words ("diabetic foot ulcers", "skin substitutes", and "nanofibers"), to identify published research studies on DFUs and nanofibers.
    Results: Electrospinning nanotechnology is being used in the biomedical field to produce polymeric nanofibers impregnated with drugs for wound healing, burns and diabetic ulcers. Those nanofibers also enable seeding of cells into them and culturing them in vitro to synthesize tissue-like structures. Knowing the advantages of generating patient-specific induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and organoids in three-dimension (3D), including skin organoids, it is worth mingling these technologies to develop tissue-engineered biological skin substitutes.
    Conclusion: Nanofiber-skin substitutes hold promise for treatment of patients suffering from DFUs and inspire novel strategies that could be applied to other organ systems as well, introducing a new era of "regenerative and personalized medicine".
