Practical marker-based stratification of early gastric neoplasms in older adults. (PubMed, Am J Clin Pathol)
MUC5AC/p53 immunohistochemistry is highly effective in identifying high-risk lesions. Enteroblastic differentiation is relatively common and is associated with lymphovascular invasion. These findings support the use of targeted immunohistochemistry for accurately diagnosing and managing this vulnerable and understudied age group.

Hepatic carcinosarcoma: a rare and aggressive case with unusual molecular signature! (PubMed, Front Oncol)
Paclitaxel-carboplatin chemotherapy was commenced with dose modifications for hepatotoxicity, complicated by infusion reactions, mild neuropathy, and mucositis. This case underlines the extreme morphological and molecular heterogeneity of hepatic carcinosarcomas, the rapid progression despite surgery, and the limited systemic treatment options available for such rare tumours.

Endometrial Carcinomas With a Somatically-derived Yolk Sac Tumor Component Share Molecular Similarities to p53-abnormal Endometrial Carcinomas and Germ Cell Tumors. (PubMed, Mod Pathol)
In summary, endometrial carcinomas with a somatically derived yolk sac tumor component are highly aggressive, predominantly p53-abnormal, with smaller subsets classified as MMRd or NSMP. Recognition of the YST component is crucial, and biomarker profiling may reveal therapeutic targets.

Glypican-3-targeted immunoPET imaging of hepatocellular carcinoma: a translational study. (PubMed, Eur J Nucl Med Mol Imaging)
[68Ga]Ga-aGPC3-Fab demonstrated a favorable safety profile and enabled effective visualization of GPC3-positive lesions. It may serve as a complementary approach to conventional imaging to improve the diagnostic accuracy of HCC.

Gastric Adenocarcinoma With Enteroblastic Differentiation Presenting as Lung Nodules: A Diagnostic Dilemma. (PubMed, J Community Hosp Intern Med Perspect)
The patient was started on capecitabine and oxaliplatin in addition to trastuzumab with subsequent clinical and radiological improvement. Unresectable, metastatic HER2 positive conventional adenocarcinoma is being managed using platinum-fluoropyrimidine doublet therapy with anti-HER2 monoclonal antibody trastuzumab. This case report calls for aggressive IHC staining for prompt diagnosis where necessary as well as proper guidelines for management.

Theranostic application of 131I-labeled anti-glypican-3 antibody for targeted radioimmunotherapy in hepatocellular carcinoma. (PubMed, Nanomedicine)
Biodistribution analysis further revealed preferential tumor accumulation (~1.3% injected dose per gram) with minimal radioactivity in non-target organs. Collectively, these findings demonstrate the feasibility and therapeutic potential of 131I-GPC3 as a targeted theranostic radiopharmaceutical for HCC and other GPC3-expressing malignancies.

Serum Outperforms Plasma for Glypican-3 Quantification in Hepatocellular Carcinoma-A Prospective Comparative Study. (PubMed, J Clin Med)
Both matrices under -70 °C storage effectively discriminated HCC from non-HCC cases, although serum demonstrated a significantly better diagnostic performance (AUROC: 0.836, 95% CI: 0.749-0.902 vs. 0.772, 95% CI: 0.677-0.850; p = 0.013). Although plasma offers operational convenience and higher baseline GPC3 levels, serum provides both greater stability and superior diagnostic accuracy under frozen conditions, thus supporting its use as the preferred specimen matrix in clinical and research applications.
