    Abstract The TNM classification system is one of the most important factors determining prognosis for cancer patients. In colorectal cancer, the T category reflects the depth of tumor invasion. T3 is defined by a tumor that invades through the muscularis propria into pericolorectal tissues. The data of 1047 patients with complete mesocolic excision were analyzed. The depth of invasion beyond the outer border of the muscularis propria into the subserosa or into nonperitonealized pericolic tissue was measured and categorized in 655 pT3 patients: pT3a (≤1 mm), pT3b,c (>1−15 mm) and pT3d (>15 mm). The prognosis of these categories was compared. Five-year distant metastasis increased significantly from pT3a (5.7%) over pT3b,c (17.7%) to pT3d (37.2%; p = 0.001). There was no difference between pT2 (5.3%) and pT3a or between pT3d and pT4a (42.1%) or pT4b (33.7%). The 5-year disease-free survival decreased significantly from pT3a (77.4%) over pT3b,c (65.4%) to pT3d (50.1%; p = 0.015). No significant difference was found between pT2 (80.5%) and pT3a or between pT3d and pT4a (43.9%; p = 0.296) or pT4b (53.4%). The prognostic inhomogeneity in pT3 colon carcinoma has been demonstrated. A three-level subdivision of T3 for colon carcinoma in the TNM system into T3a (≤1 mm), T3b (>1−15 mm), and T3c (>15 mm) is recommended.

    Abstract Non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) is a heterogeneous tumor entity that is vastly determined by age and UV-light exposure leading to a great mutational burden in cancer cells. However, the success of immune checkpoint blockade in advanced NMSC and the incidence and disease control rates of NMSC in organ transplant recipients compared to immunologically uncompromised patients point toward the emerging importance of the immunologic activity of NMSC. To gain first insight into the role of T-cell and macrophage infiltration in NMSC of the head and neck and capture their different immunogenic profiles, which appear to be highly relevant for the response to immunotherapy, we conducted a whole slide analysis of 107 basal cell carcinoma (BCC) samples and 117 cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) samples.

    Abstract A20, known as a potent inhibitor of NF-κB signaling, has been characterized in numerous clinical as well as preclinical studies. Recently, especially in various malignant diseases, the prognostic and therapeutic relevance of A20 was investigated. In oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) however, the characterization of A20 is uncharted territory. We analyzed a tissue microarray (TMA) of 229 surgically-treated OSCC patients (2003-2013). Immunohistochemical (IHC) stainings were performed for A20 and CD3; additionally, standard haematoxylin-eosin staining was applied. IHC findings were correlated with a comprehensive dataset, comprising clinical and pathohistological information. A20 expression was analyzed in tumor cells as well as in tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and correlated with the overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) using uni- and multivariable Cox regression. The median follow-up time was 10.9 years and the A20 expression was significantly decreased in CD3+ TILs compared to mucosa-infiltrating lymphocytes (MILs). In the Kaplan-Meier analyses, higher A20 expression in TILs was correlated with better OS (

    Abstract Introduction: Dental cysts can be of inflammatory (radicular cysts) or noninflammatory (dentigerous cysts) origin. Apical periodontitis is a necrosis of the pulp and infection of the root canal causing the development of apical granulomas or radicular cysts. The immunology of granuloma and cyst formation is important because modern root filling materials are immunologically active and can contribute to the resolution of apical granulomas. In contrast, radicular cysts often require apicectomy. A better understanding of the pathophysiology of inflammation and bone resorption in apical periodontitis could be the basis for developing new root filling materials with superior immunomodulatory properties.
    Methods: Forty-one apical granulomas, 23 radicular cysts, and 23 dentigerous cysts were analyzed in this study. A tissue microarray of the 87 consecutive specimens was created, and human leukocyte antigen-DR isotype (HLA-DR)-, CD83-, receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand-, macrophage colony-stimulating factor (MCSF)-, galectin-3 (Gal3)-, CD4-, and CD8-positive cells were detected by immunohistochemistry. Tissue microarrays were digitized, and the expression of markers was quantitatively assessed.
    Results: HLA-DR, CD83, MCSF, and Gal3 expression was significantly (P < .05) higher in radicular cysts compared with apical granulomas. HLA-DR, CD83, MCSF, receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand, and Gal3 expression in dentigerous cysts was significantly (P < .05) lower than in both periapical lesions (apical granulomas and radicular cysts). CD4 and CD8 infiltration was not statistically different between apical granulomas and radicular cysts. Dentigerous cysts showed a significantly (P < .05) lower T-cell infiltration than apical periodontitis. The CD4/CD8 ratio was not significantly different between the analyzed groups.
    Conclusions: The development of radicular cysts in apical periodontitis is associated with an increased expression of myeloid inflammatory markers and bone resorption parameters. Antigen-presenting cells and myeloid cells might be more relevant for the pathogenesis of apical periodontitis than T cells. Increased inflammation might promote the formation of radicular cysts and more pronounced bone resorption.

    Abstract Purpose: Surgical treatment of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) consists of necrotic bone removal followed by dense mucosal closure. Fluorescence-guided surgery has become a promising tool to intraoperatively distinguish between healthy and necrotic bone. Until now, there has been a lack of histopathological studies correlating the intraoperative fluorescence situation to histopathological analyses of the respective bone areas in order to further validate this method.
    Materials and methods: Histopathological sections from intraoperatively detected fluorescence- and non-fluorescence-labeled bone were analyzed detecting osteocyte and collagen content, RANK(L) and TRAP expression as well as proportion of immature bone regeneration. Samples were compared with viable-looking bone areas according to the intraoperative clinical situation.
    Results: Staining revealed a significant decrease of osteocytes and collagen type-I fibers in necrotic, non-fluorescing areas compared to fluorescing bone (R/RGB [%]: 0.56 ± 0.38 (fluorescence positive) vs. 3.18 ± 2.22 (fluorescence negative), p = 0.041). Furthermore, the number of osteocytes was higher in fluorescing, clinically viable bone samples (cell/mm
    Conclusion: Intraoperative fluorescence-guided surgery might be more precise in identifying and resecting the necrotic bone compared to previous indicators like bone bleeding, which could be useful to further improve surgical therapy in MRONJ patients.

    Abstract Background: Advanced penile carcinoma is characterized by poor prognosis. Most data on prognostic factors are based on small study cohorts, and even meta-analyses are limited in patient numbers. Therefore, there is still a lack of evidence for clinical decisions. In addition, the most recent TNM classification is questionable; in line with previous studies, we found that it has not improved prognosis estimation.
    Methods: We evaluated 297 patients from Germany, Russia, and Portugal. Tissue samples from 233 patients were re-analyzed by two experienced pathologists. HPV status, p16, and histopathological parameters were evaluated for all patients.
    Results: Advanced lymph node metastases (N2, N3) were highly significantly associated with reductions in metastasis-free (MFS), cancer-specific (CS), and overall survival (OS) rates (
    Conclusion: Lymphatic involvement has the highest impact on prognosis in penile cancer, whereas HPV status alone is not suitable as a prognostic parameter. The pT1b stage, which includes grading, as well as lymphovascular and perineural invasion in the T stage, seems questionable; a revision of the TNM classification is therefore required.

    Abstract (1) Background: Vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia (VaIN) is a rare premalignant disease caused by persistent human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. Diagnosing VaIN is challenging; abnormal cytology and positive HPV tests are usually the first signs, but published data on their accuracy for detecting it are rare and contradictory. The aim of this study is to compare the results of hrHPV and cytology co-testing with the histological findings of the vagina. (2) Methods: In the certified Dysplasia Unit at Erlangen University Hospital, cytology and HPV samples from the uterine cervix or vaginal wall after hysterectomy were obtained between 2015 and 2023 and correlated with histological findings in biopsies from the vaginal wall. Women without vaginal biopsy findings or concomitant cervical disease were excluded. (3) Results: In all, 279 colposcopies in 209 women were included. The histological results were: benign (

    Abstract Background: In Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, the anti-α4β7 integrin antibody vedolizumab has demonstrated efficacy in phase III trials and has been successfully used under real-world conditions. Occasionally, it has also been used in other forms of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) such as microscopic colitis (MC). However, the mechanisms of vedolizumab in MC have not been studied to date. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the expression and functional role of gut-homing integrins and in particular α4β7 integrin in a cohort study in MC.
    Methods: We studied the expression of gut homing integrins on T cells from patients with MC and healthy controls by flow cytometry. To investigate the function of α4β7 integrin in MC and the potential of vedolizumab to block it, we used dynamic adhesion assays and transmigrations assays. Moreover, we describe two clinical cases of MC patients treated with vedolizumab.
    Results: A specific profile of gut homing markers can be found on T cells from patients with MC. α4β7 integrin functionally leads to firm adhesion to MAdCAM-1 and supports transmigration. Vedolizumab is able to block both processes. In two cases of MC, we observed reduced clinical symptoms and histologic improvement upon therapy with vedolizumab.
    Conclusion: Our data suggest that α4β7 mediates gut homing of T cells also in MC and that, on single cell level, vedolizumab blocks the function of α4β7 in MC. Thus, we provide mechanistic evidence supporting vedolizumab as promising therapeutic option for MC.
