Activation of the PI3K–AKT–mTOR pathway occurs in several human cancers, including hormone receptor (HR)-positive breast cancer (BC) where is associated with resistance to endocrine therapy and disease progression. In BC, the most common PI3K–AKT–mTO...

(1) Background: Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) are known to be related to the development of about 5% of all human cancers. The clinical relevance of HPV infection has been deeply investigated in carcinomas of the oropharyngeal area, uterine cervix, a...

With a growing number of clinically relevant biomarkers needed to guide the management of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), pathologists are keenly aware of the need to collect adequate tissue not only for a diagnosis, but also for an...

Mucinous pancreatic cysts are precursor lesions of ductal adenocarcinoma. Discoveries of the molecular alterations detectable in pancreatic cyst fluid (PCF) that help to define a mucinous cyst and its risk for malignancy have led to more routine mole...

Patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), harboring Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) mutations, are more susceptible to brain metastases (BM). Comparisons of the efficacy of different-generation EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) on...
