Nuclear grading of myxoid liposarcoma robustly predicts patient outcome: a study of 280 patients
Myxoid liposarcoma (MLPS) exhibits variable morphology and clinical behavior. Current grading systems, which rely on the proportion of round cell areas, were developed for resections, rather than core biopsies. Additionally, criteria for...

Validation of diagnostic artificial intelligence models for prostate pathology in a Middle Eastern cohort
Artificial intelligence (AI) for pathology is accelerating cancer diagnostics. For global adoption, studies in currently under-represented populations – where the potential gains from AI may also be greatest – are needed. We present the ...

Intratumoral desmoplastic stroma in carcinoma brain metastases harbors stromal cells with a cancer-associated fibroblast (CAF)-like immunophenotype
Background: Research on the tumor microenvironment of brain metastases (BM) has largely focused on immune response, while the intratumoral stromal compartment remains poorly characterized. In primary carcinomas, cancer-associated fibrobl...

VEGF pathway signalling across pulmonary neuroendocrine tumours: associations with histological subtypes in a multicentre study
The current classification of pulmonary neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) is primarily based on histomorphological criteria, which do not fully capture their underlying biological heterogeneity. This limitation is particularly evident amon...
