<h4>Purpose</h4>Referrals for Lynch syndrome (LS) assessment have traditionally been based on personal and family medical history. The introduction of universal screening practices has allowed for referrals based on immunohistochemistry tests for mismatch repair (MMR) protein expression. This study aims to characterize the effect of universal screening in a publicly funded ... Read more >>

<h4>Background</h4>High grade cancers account for a disproportionate number of recurrences in patients with endometrial cancer. Accurately identifying these cases on endometrial biopsies allows for better surgical planning. This study evaluates the diagnostic accuracy of general pathologists (GP) compared to gynecological pathologists (GYNP) in interpreting preoperative biopsies.<h4>Methods</h4>A retrospective cohort study was ...

OBJECTIVES:Mismatch repair deficiency is observed in 25%-30% of all endometrial cancers. This can be detected by the absence of mismatch repair protein staining on immunohistochemistry, and is used as a screen for Lynch syndrome. Only 10% of women with mismatch repair deficiency have Lynch syndrome, but mismatch repair deficiency may ... Read more >>

<b>Background:</b> After completing 5 years of adjuvant tamoxifen, women with estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer benefit from 5 more years of endocrine therapy, either with tamoxifen or an aromatase inhibitor (AI).

Women with clinically detected high-grade serous carcinomas (HGSC) generally present with advanced-stage disease, which portends a poor prognosis, despite extensive surgery and intensive chemotherapy.

The TEXT and SOFT trials concluded that an aromatase inhibitor (AI) with ovarian ablation (OA) yields a higher 5-year disease-free survival than tamoxifen alone in premenopausal ER+ high-risk early breast cancer. However, the long-term health consequences and costs of OA, either by GnRH agonist or oophorectomy, have not been evaluated. ... Read more >>
