    Abstract Whether immunohistochemistry (IHC) of p53 accurately reflects the TP53 mutational status of endometrial carcinoma (EC) has not yet been established. This study aimed to clarify the relationship between p53 IHC and TP53 mutations in EC and to examine whether p53 IHC can be a more convenient prognostic marker than TP53 mutation in EC. We performed p53 IHC staining of EC samples obtained via surgery and genetic analyses using next-generation sequencing. p53 IHC results showed that of the 101 cases, 71 (70%) were wild-type (WT), 12 (12%) were overexpression (OE), and 18 (18%) were in the null group. Missense mutations were found in 9 cases (47.4%) in OE, 2 (10.5%) in null, and 8 (42.1%) in the WT group. Truncating mutations were found in 1 case (8.3%) in OE, 6 (50%) in null, and 5 (41.7%) in the WT group. The 5-year progression-free survival was 0% in OE, 74.8% in null, and 79.0% in the WT group. In the prognosis for each type of TP53 mutation, the 5-year progression-free survival was missense (32.2%), truncating (65.6%), and WT (79.7%). These survival comparisons showed that the p53 IHC OE had the poorest prognosis. These results suggest that the p53 IHC OE is an independent poor prognostic factor for EC and can be used as a simple and rapid surrogate marker for TP53 mutations. Contrastingly, the complete absence of p53 IHC-the null staining pattern-may not accurately predict a TP53 mutation in EC, and it is necessary to be more careful in making the diagnosis of "abnormal."

    Abstract Analyzing RNA samples from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues is essential for precision medicine. We investigated RNA quantity and quality from FFPE tumor tissues fixed in formalin for various times and compared sequencing metrics from next-generation sequencing (NGS). Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tissues were fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin (1-240 h) and FFPE blocks were prepared. Total RNA was extracted, and the quantity and quality were assessed using the NanoDrop, Qubit and Bioanalyzer. After preparing sequencing libraries, NGS was performed on the Oncomine Dx Multi-CDx system. Total RNA yields of all samples met the threshold required for NGS, but longer fixation times resulted in decreased total RNA and long RNA fragment (>200 nt) yields. NGS analysis showed fewer sequencing reads of internal control genes from RNA with longer fixation times. RNA extracted from FFPE blocks stored for 500 days had reduced RNA yield and quality compared with RNA obtained from FFPE blocks prepared immediately. In conclusion, short and over-fixation should be avoided because of their negative impact on sequencing quality. Fixation process should be finished promptly within recommended guidelines (6-72 h) for cancer patients.

    Abstract Objectives: Pancreatic cancer (PC) has a poor prognosis and limited treatment options. Liquid biopsy, which analyzes circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in blood, holds promise for precision medicine; however, low ctDNA detection rates pose challenges. This study aimed to investigate the utility of wash samples obtained via endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle biopsy (EUS-FNB) as a liquid biopsy for PC.
    Methods: A total of 166 samples (42 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded [FFPE] tissues, 80 wash samples, and 44 plasma samples) were collected from 48 patients with PC for genomic analysis. DNA was extracted and quantified, and 60 significantly mutated genes were sequenced. The genomic profiles of FFPE tissues, wash samples, and plasma samples were compared. Finally, the ability to detect druggable mutations in 80 wash samples and 44 plasma samples was investigated.
    Results: The amount of DNA was significantly lower in plasma samples than in wash samples. Genomic analysis revealed a higher detection rate of oncogenic mutations in FFPE tissues (98%) and wash samples (96%) than in plasma samples (18%) and a comparable detection rate in FFPE tissues and wash samples. Tumor-derived oncogenic mutations were detected more frequently in wash samples than in plasma samples. Furthermore, the oncogenic mutations detection rate remained high in wash samples at all PC stages but low in plasma samples even at advanced PC stages. Using wash samples was more sensitive than plasma samples for identifying oncogenic and druggable mutations.
    Conclusions: The wash sample obtained via EUS-FNB is an ideal specimen for use as a liquid biopsy for PC.

    Abstract It is critical to determine the mutational status in cancer before administration and treatment of specific molecular targeted drugs for cancer patients. In the clinical setting, formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues are widely used for genetic testing. However, FFPE DNA is generally damaged and fragmented during the fixation process with formalin. Therefore, FFPE DNA is sometimes not adequate for genetic testing because of low quality and quantity of DNA. Here we present a method of touch imprint cytology (TIC) to obtain genomic DNA from cancer cells, which can be observed under a microscope. Cell morphology and cancer cell numbers can be evaluated using TIC specimens. Furthermore, the extraction of genomic DNA from TIC samples can be completed within two days. The total amount and quality of TIC DNA obtained using this method was higher than that of FFPE DNA. This rapid and simple method allows researchers to obtain high-quality DNA for genetic testing (e.g., next generation sequencing analysis, digital PCR, and quantitative real time PCR) and to shorten the turnaround time for reporting results.

    Abstract A 22-year-old woman presented with a feeling of chest tightness. Chest computed tomography showed a dendritic shadow in the left segment 1 + 2c, surrounded by hyperlucent emphysematous changes. Bronchoscopy revealed loss of the orifice of bronchus 1 + 2c. Thus a diagnosis of bronchial atresia was made, and a left upper division segmentectomy was performed. Bronchial atresia should be considered in the differential diagnosis of young patients with an abnormal chest shadow. It can be diagnosed based on the characteristic imaging and bronchoscopic findings. Surgery is indicated for symptomatic bronchial atresia and can provide complete amelioration of the condition.

    Abstract Background: Tumor genetic alterations are determined to aid in selecting therapy and predicting prognosis. In routine clinical practice, targeted sequencing analysis is performed using formalin-fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissues. However, successful genetic analysis remains challenging because FFPE DNA is fragmented during the sample preparation process.
    Methods: Real-time PCR was performed to assess DNA quality and quantities. Targeted sequencing was performed using FFPE tissues fixed with different types of formalin.
    Results: DNA was less fragmented from samples fixed in low formalin concentration (10% vs. 20%) and neutral buffered conditions (neutral buffered vs. non-neutral). DNA fragmentation increased over the fixation time. In a preliminary test study, we compared fixation using 10% neutral buffered formalin (n = 180) and 20% formalin (n = 26). The success rate of targeted analysis was higher using 10% neutral formalin (98.3%; 177/180) compared with 20% formalin (34.6%; 9/26). In a validation study with additional formalin-fixed paraffin embedded tissues fixed with 10% neutral buffered formalin (n = 860), we reproduced these results and achieved a high success rate for targeted sequencing analysis (98.4%; 846/860).
    Conclusion: Our data show that 10% neutral buffered formalin is recommended for fixation of formalin-fixed paraffin embedded samples to achieve high success rate of targeted sequencing analysis.
