Case Report: Synchronous colorectal adenocarcinomas with discordant mismatch repair status: a case of lynch-like syndrome and serrated pathway association. (PubMed, Front Oncol)
Lesion-specific molecular characterization combined with regional lymph node MMR phenotyping is critical for the precise management of SCRCs with discordant MMR status. This case provides a referable diagnostic workflow and surgical decision-making framework for this rare clinical scenario, supporting risk-adapted individualized therapy for molecularly heterogeneous colorectal cancer.

Real-world genetic testing data of ovarian cancer patients: Informing counseling and risk reduction in patients over age seventy. (PubMed, Gynecol Oncol)
Despite lower prevalence, a clinically meaningful proportion of patients ≥70 harbor actionable P/LP variants, often without FH that would prompt risk-reducing interventions. These findings suggest reduced sensitivity of FH-based risk assessment in older individuals, supporting age-inclusive genetic counseling and testing strategies extending beyond FH-based criteria.

WGS identifies Lynch syndrome (LS) patients and uncovers a large family with MSH2-related LS in Southern Thailand. (PubMed, PLoS One)
The benefit-cost ratio (BCR) analysis demonstrated the greater cost-effectiveness of genetic testing compared to endoscopic surveillance to all relatives at risk. Although our cohort is clinically enriched and does not reflect the population prevalence of LS in Southern Thailand, these findings highlight the substantial LS burden within high-risk families and underscore the importance of incorporating genetic screening, counseling, and tailored surveillance strategies into clinical practice.

Prolonged disease-free survival with immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy in a patient with advanced stage large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the uterus. (PubMed, Gynecol Oncol Rep)
Post-operatively, she received six cycles of carboplatin, paclitaxel, and dostarlimab every three weeks, followed by maintenance dostarlimab. This case illustrates that aggressive multimodal therapy including immune checkpoint inhibition may achieve durable disease control in advanced-stage MMR-deficient uterine LCNEC. While the relative contributions of surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, and immunotherapy cannot be separated, the favorable outcome supports further investigation of immunotherapy in rare high-grade endometrial neuroendocrine carcinomas and underscores the importance of including these histologies in clinical trials.

Risk-reducing gynecologic surgery decisions in Lynch syndrome at a safety-net hospital and university medical center. (PubMed, Gynecol Oncol)
This exploratory analysis suggested a higher uptake of risk-reducing surgery at the safety-net hospital than at the university medical center. Understanding factors contributing to this difference will be critical to supporting gynecologic cancer risk management in Lynch syndrome.

PTEN-low associated mismatch repair deficiency and nuclear PD-L1 expression in basal-type bladder cancer. (PubMed, Pathol Res Pract)
Immune analysis indicated an immune-hot phenotype, but nuclear PD-L1 positivity did not correlate with T-cell density. This study highlights the significance of PTEN loss and nuclear PD-L1 expression in basal subtype BCa, contributing to improved risk stratification and potential precision treatments in bladder cancer.

MLH1 promoter methylation, mismatch repair and intestinal differentiation markers in papillary thyroid carcinoma: real-world evidence from Galicia (Northwest Spain). (PubMed, Virchows Arch)
MLH1 promoter methylation, MMR deficiency, and CDX2 are rare events in PTC and do not appear to influence PFS. Although infrequent, the expression of CDX2 is not exclusive to any PTC subtype.

Endometrial Endometrioid Carcinomas With Signet Ring Cells: Report of a Case Series With Detailed Clinical, Pathologic, and Molecular Analysis. (PubMed, Int J Gynecol Pathol)
In reporting these neoplasms, we highlight that signet ring cells occasionally occur in primary endometrial carcinomas of endometrioid-type and, although numbers are small, there appears to be an association with MMR deficiency. These tumors have a propensity for high-stage at presentation.

Selective ARID1A Loss Restricted to the Undifferentiated Component of a Mismatch Repair-Deficient Gastric Carcinoma: A Case Report. (PubMed, Case Rep Gastrointest Med)
The value of this report is, therefore, not mechanistic proof but recognition of a practical morphologic-immunophenotypic observation: When a gastric carcinoma shows a sharply demarcated shift from differentiated to undifferentiated/rhabdoid morphology, dMMR should be considered, and selective ARID1A loss in the undifferentiated component may be associated with dedifferentiation. These findings should be interpreted with caution as preliminary, hypothesis-generating observations that require validation in larger studies with more extensive molecular profiling.

A potential mutation-defined POLE/MMR/TP53 group classifications to stratify BRCA wild type epithelial ovarian cancer. (PubMed, J Ovarian Res)
The pattern of mutation-defined POLE/MMR/TP53 group classifications varied in histological subtypes, FIGO stage and clinical outcomes in BRCA wild type EOC. BRCA wild type EOC patients with POLEmut or NSMP had favorable survival than those with MMRmut or TP53mut. The panel could be a potential marker for EOC patients.
