Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was associated with hypercoagulability state, some changes in parameter of coagulation tests, and also cause venous thromboembolism (VTE), which can be predicted with Padua Prediction Score (PPS). In this study, we are going to seek correlation of PPS and some parameter of coagulation tests between mild and moderate - severe COVID-19 patients in isolation room for COVID-19 patients at General Hospital of Prof. dr. R. D. Kandou Manado....

Basal-Like Atypical Ductal Hyperplasia and Basal-Like Ductal Carcinoma In Situ: Evidence for Precursor of Basal-Like Breast Cancer

Jing Wang and Lavinia P. Middleton

Article Type: Original Article | First Published: July 28, 2022

Basal-like breast cancer (BLBC) is identified by gene expression profiling studies and is associated with worse overall survival. The identification of possible precursors of BLBC is important to gain insight into tumorigenesis and therapeutic targets. This retrospective study evaluated the characteristics of possible precursors of BLBC, including basal-like atypical ductal hyperplasia (bADH) and basal-like ductal carcinoma in situ (bDCIS); basal cytokeratin (CK) expression in bADH and bDCIS; an...

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: August 18, 2022

Hidradenocarcinoma (HAC) is an exceedingly rare and aggressive malignant tumor of the adnexal eccrine and apocrine sweat gland. Due to its low incidence rate, nonspecific clinical presentation, and similar histopathological features to benign hidradenoma (HA), HAC is often misdiagnosed as its benign counterpart. Histologically, even the absence of cellular atypia does not rule out malignancy....

Proposed Experimental Preparation and Administration of Dendritic Cell Vaccine for Treatment of Cancer (Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer)

Behzad Niakan

Article Type: Letter to Editor | First Published: July 09, 2022

It is suggested that a cause of inefficacy in dendritic cell vaccine is dendritic cell dysfunction. It is proposed that dendritic cell dysfunction is possibly due to the immuneregulatory function of activated platelets in cancer patients. It is suggested that activated platelets in cancer patient suppress dendritic cell activity against a malignant growth. A low platelet count prior to the removal of dendritic cells would possibly yield less dysfunctional dendritic cells....
