Objective: The association between telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) promoter mutation and outcome of melanoma is unclear and controversial. We aim to conduct a meta-analysis and investigate whether the TERT promoter mutation is a prognostic factor of melanoma.
Study Design: Appropriate studies were searched in 3 databases: PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase. Pooled hazard ratios (HRs) were counted through random effects model.
Results: Heterogeneity was moderate in overall survival (OS) (I2=43.7%, p=0.059) and low in disease-free survival (DFS) (I2=0.0%, p=0.587). Sensitivity analysis indicated that the removal of any of the study did not affect the final results. Evidence for publication bias was not found (Begg’s test, p=0.281; Egger’s test, p=0.078). The pooled OS HRs from combined effects analysis was determined (HR 1.07; 95% CI 0.83–1.39, p=0.585), together with the pooled HRs of DFS (HR 1.65; 95% CI 1.02–2.66, p=0.042). TERT promoter mutation predicted a good outcome in meta-static melanoma patients (HR 0.66; 95% CI 0.46–0.96, p=0.042). The pooled HRs of combined mutation in TERT promoter and BRAF (HR 6.27; 95% CI 2.7–14.58, p=0.000) predicted a bad outcome in melanoma patients.
Conclusion: TERT promoter mutation significantly predicted poor DFS outcome but, on the contrary, predicted a good outcome in metastatic melanoma patients. The combined TERT promoter and BRAF mutation was a significant independent factor of OS in melanoma patients.

Objective: The prognostic indictors of age-related poor outcomes in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) are still controversial. The aim of this work was to provide comprehensive insights into the effect of different hemocytes and to investigate the association between age and clinical features in adult patients with AML.
Study Design: A retrospective study was performed to determine the role of age in the therapeutic outcomes of AML. A total of 166 newly diagnosed adult patients’ data from January 2015 to November 2019 in Zhongshan Hospital of Xiamen University were collected and analyzed.
Results: Older patients presented a poorer prognosis (p=0.001) with shorter overall survival, which is served as age-related outcomes. Binary logistic regression demonstrated that cytogenetic risk (OR=4.508, 95% CI 2.733–7.435), leukocyte (OR=7.410, 95% CI 1.139–5.910), and bone marrow blast cells (OR=3.261, 95% CI 1.075–5.615) were independent indictors for age-related prognosis. In addition, Kaplan-Meier curve also revealed that the above factors were associated with overall survival (all p values <0.001).
Conclusion: Cytogenetic risk, leukocyte, and bone marrow blast cells are dominant factors which account for the age-related poor outcomes and shorter overall survival in AML.

Abstract—Lymphadenopathy is one of the commonest presentation in inflammatory and neoplastic cases. Pathological diagnosis of enlarged lymph nodes is crucial in further management of patients. Fine Needle Aspiration cytology (FNAC) is quick and cost effective OPD procedure for establishing etiology of enlarged lymph nodes. This study was aimed to observed the pattern of lymphadenopathy as per FNAC and its diagnostic accuracy assuming histopathology as gold standard. This study was conducted on two hundred and thirty one consecutive enlarged lymph nodes attended for FNAC in a secondary care level Government Hospital, Gandhi Nagar, Jammu in a study period of two and a half years. Lymph nodes of these cases were aspirated and subjected to cytomorphological evaluation with Papanicolaou (PAP) and Giemsa stain. After that histopathological examination was done of excised biopsies. Then pattern of lymphadenopathy as per FNAC was observed and its diagnostic accuracy was found out assuming histopathology as gold standard. Maximum number of patients was in the age group of 21-30 years age group with male to female ratio 1.2:1. Out of 231 lymphadenopathy cases 4 remain inconclusisve whereas 200 (88.11%)cases were benign and 27 (11.89%) were malignant including 14 (6.1%) cases of metastatic tumors. Among benign cases, majority had non specific reactive lymphadenitis (42.29%) followed by tubercular lymphadenitis. And among malignant tumors, metastatic tumors (6.1%). were most common. Diagnostic accuracy of FNAC was observed as fairly good i.e. ranging from 100% to 83.3% in various type of lymphadenopathies. So it can be depicted that FNAC is very useful first line investigation in patients presenting with enlarged lymph nodes especially in secondary level health care hospitals/centers where advanced diagnostic modalities are not available. The suspicious cases can always be referred for further evaluation.

Abstract
Metastatic gastric tumors (MGTs) mean the tumor cells that attack the stomach and grow there through blood vessel, lymph vessel, and other pathway, consistent with the primary tumor in phenotype, which are clinically uncommon, and information on MGTs is generally limited to single case reports. Here we present a clinical series of 8 cases with MGTs, in attention to discuss the clinical characteristics, diagnosis and treatment, and prognosis of MGTs. Our data showed that MGTs are rare, with a male predominance, and the cause of death was multiple organ metastases in most cases. Heterochromous MGTs showed a significantly better prognosis than simultaneous MGTs, and a long interval between initial radical excision of the primary tumor and appearance of gastric metastasis was found to be associated with good prognosis.

Linitis plastica is a diffuse form of gastric cancer and accounts for about 10% of all cases of gastric malignancy and its exact general population distribution is unknown. There are no characteristic or specific symptoms, the symptoms are similar to those of other forms of stomach cancer and can manifest as a feeling of fullness after eating, nausea and vomiting, epigastric pain, weight loss, and progressive dysphagia [1]. Plastic linitisis characterized by malignant glandular proliferation of cricoid cells in the fibrous stroma, which ultimately leads to thickening and rigidity of the stomach wall.

Week 6 DiscussionQuestion ARisk management is a matter of id.docxcockekeshia
Week 6 Discussion
Question A
Risk management is a matter of identifying the situations that could cause your project to fail. Common risks include loss of staff, decreased funding, decision point approvals not completed in a timely manner, and content not being available. Brainstorm three or four other risks that you have seen in your professional experience. If you are having trouble identifying projects, brainstorm with your classmates or contact your instructor.Once you have 3-4 risks, identify at least two ways to prevent each and two ways to resolve them, if they happen in spite of your preventions. Post your ideas.
Question B
How does the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) help to minimize risks? How often should a risk analysis be conducted? Why are risks often overlooked?
1-Today I am going to talk to you about prostate cancer. The purpose of my presentation is to discuss the role of diagnostic imaging in prostate cancer patient. I will start my presentation by introducing the condition of the pathology, then I will mention the general symptoms, investigation staging and treatment of the condition. Then I will focus on the patient case study pathway. Finally, I will summarise my presentation and I will give you time for questions after the presentation.
2- Prostate cancer is a fatal disease that affects millions of men worldwide every year. Its clinical behavior ranges from low grade tumours that never develop to aggressive tumours those growths into metastases disease (Johnson et al, 2014). The cause of the disease has not been found, but several related risk factors have been known, such as genetics, age and diet. Prostate cancer is the highest prevalent non-skin malignant tumors diagnosis in male patients in the UK, accounting 24% of entirely new cancers. The main prospect of developing prostate cancer is related to advancing age, that has been seen diagnoses occurring in men over the age of 65 and is rare in those 40 years of age (Stephens et al, 2008)
3- prostate gland is a walnut' sized structure which located between the penis and the bladder and surrounds the urethra, just lies posteriorly to rectum. It has functional relation with urinary and reproductive systems and its main role is to produce the liquid part of semen. Prostate gland divided into three distinctive anatomic zonal components: the central zone, transitional zone and the peripheral zone which compromises 70% by volume (Tempany & Franco, 2012).
4- The preponderance of prostate cancers is adenocarcinomas that initially derived from the outer or peripheral zone of the prostate gland. In early stage, prostate cancer hardly shows symptoms and is mostly diagnosed by fortunate PSA test, but overtime patient may present to clinic with lower urinary tract symptoms such as: trouble starting urine, pain during urination, increased urgent of urination, poor stream, erection trouble so on (Wijesinha & Fridenberg, 2007)
5- The initial tests for diagnosing prostate cancer a.
Objective: To determine the local incidence and clinical consequences of myoma following intraperitoneal dissemination via morcellation.
Materials and Method: An electronic search for laparoscopic myomectomies from the computer data base of a tertiary hospital and a separate search for sarcoma or myomata with atypical features on National Cancer Registry were carried out for the 10-year study period. The identified cases have their medical records traced, their data extracted and studied in details
Background: The incidence of cancers is increasing worldwide, particularly in the developing countries as shown by recent cancer stastics from the WHO. It is even anticipated that with the increase in life expentancy, consequent upon inproved standard of living and globalization, the burden of cancers will increase within this millenium. With respective to cancer of the prostate, it is the most common type of cancer in urology. In developing countries, diagnostic is done at a late stage of evolution. In Cameroon, data on prostate cancer are scanty whereas the incidence of this disease is increasing. Objective: This article is designed to describe the epidemiological features of prostate cancer at the General Hospital of Yaoundé. Patients and methods: A 4-year retrospective study of patients seen with the diagnosis of cancer at the Medical Oncology unit of the Yaoundé General Hospital between January 2012 and December 2015. The demographic pattern (age of patients, socio professional activity, marital status), clinical features (cancer diagnosis), treatment modalities and outcome were studied. Main results: Of the 7 775 patients enrolled in the Medical Oncology Service over the study period, 1.4% (n = 108) cases of prostate cancer were seen. The prevalence over the study period was 1.38% and a relatively large annual growth of cases with an annual average of 27 cases was noted. The average age of patients was 67.82 years with a range of 34-83 years. The commonest presenting symptoms were the urinary frequency (54.63%) whereas the least common were fatigue (05.5%) and straining (03.70%). PSA was obtained in 49 patients, representing about 45.4% of all patients. Only 14 (01.26%) had biopsy reports. Conclusion: Prostate cancer is a major problem facing the aging male, and inadequate facilities make early detection difficult. Therefore, treatment is mainly palliative because of late diagnosis.

Tom Selleck, an enduring figure in Hollywood. has captivated audiences for decades with his rugged charm, iconic moustache. and memorable roles in television and film. From his breakout role as Thomas Magnum in Magnum P.I. to his current portrayal of Frank Reagan in Blue Bloods. Selleck's career has spanned over 50 years. But beyond his professional achievements. fans have often been curious about Tom Selleck Health. especially as he has aged in the public eye.
Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit

This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

Abstract: With increasing life expectancy, increasing awareness and better health services lesions of prostate
has become a common specimen received for diagnostic of both benign and malignant lesions which may have a
very similar presentation but their management and prognosis is quite different. Most important investigation is
the biopsy of the prostate. A visual of features of the lesion gives best diagnosis. 122 prostate specimens were
studied over a period of 21 months and revealed most common lesion to be benign prostatic hyperplasia
routinely diagnosed on the commonest type of specimens obtained that were transuretheral resection of prostate
(TURP) with peak age of occurrence in 6th
decade of life. Adenocarcinoma cases of Gleason grade 4 were
common also in same age range. Prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia lesions present a diagnostic challenge due to
them being a known precursor lesion of prostatic carcinoma. Histopathological diagnosis and grading plays a
definitive role in the management of prostatic cancer.
Keywords: prostate, benign hyperplasia of prostate, adenocarcinoma, Gleason grade, HGPIN
I. Introduction-
Prostate is essential structure of the male reproductive system composed of glands and stroma and its
secretions forming 30-50 % of the seminal fluid volume.[1] With increasing life expectancy, increasing
awareness and better health services lesions of prostate has become a common specimen received for diagnostic
of both benign and malignant lesions. Most patients of benign lesions present with complaints related to
micturition and incontinence. The problem lies in the fact that malignant and benign lesions of prostate may
have a very similar presentation but their management and prognosis is quite different. Thus patients who have
been suffering from such symptoms should have themselves checked. A regular examination specifically
includes digital rectal examination (DRE) for an enlarged prostate apart from list up of the urinary complaints.
This DRE may not always be conclusive. A lab investigation that was previously linked to prostatic lesion is
prostate specific antigen levels whose increased levels were thought to be a good indicator. [2, 3] But its
significance is only complete when it is supported by histopathology. The most important investigation in such
cases is the biopsy of the prostate. Visually interpreting the features of the lesion gives best diagnosis. Knowing
the histological grade in malignant lesions helps in proper management. Thus diagnosis of prostatic lesions is
important both to the clinician and pathologist.
II. Material And Methods
The current study is a prospective study which includes data of cases from January 2014 to September
2015. The type of specimens received were transuretheral resection of prostate (TURP), transrectal ultrasound
(TRUS) guided trucut biopsy and cystoprostatectomy. The clinical data was collected from biopsy forms and
medical record department. The received specimens were fixed in 10% formalin and routine hematoxyline and
eosin staining was done. All the specimens were analysed as type of specimen, age of patient, microscopic
features and diagnosis. The 2002 W.H.O. classification was used to diagnose and classify prostate tumours. The
cases of adenocarcinoma were graded according to Gleason grading system.[4]
III. Results
In this study a total of 122 prostate specimens were studied which were received between January 2014
to September 2015 in the histopathology section of department of Pathology. Of the 122 specimens 81 (66 %)
were TURP specimens which were received as soft to firm grey white chips. Also 34 trucut biopsy specimens
(29%) were obtained as linear tissue strips, 0.3 to 1cm long.

Table 1: Distribution of types of specimen received
The most common lesion diagnosed was benign prostatic hyperplasia in 79 cases with peak age of
occurrence in 6th
decade of life. In the same age range maximum cases of the 30 adenocarcinoma cases were
seen. High grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (HGPIN) was diagnosed in 8 cases.
Diagnosis Number of cases Percentage (%)
Benign prostatic hyperplasia 79 61
Adenocarcinoma 30 25
High grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia 8 7
Granulomatous prostatitis 3 2
Embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma 1 <1
Small cell carcinoma 1 <1
Table 2: Distribution of number of cases by diagnosis
Benign prostatic hyperplasia
On microscopy the glandular component is made up of nodules of small and large acini lined by basal
and secretory cells. Some gland show papillary infolding and projections and others that are dilated and cystic.
Stromal component often shows both fibrous and smooth muscle elements. Maximum cases were in age range
of 6th
followed by 7th
decade. Few cases also showed prostatitis.
Adenocarcinoma
Adenocarcinoma of prostate is the most common type of malignancy in the prostate and the glandular
pattern observed under low power microscope is important as it used for Gleason grading [4]. This grading
system has described 5 patterns; which are recognized as primary dominant pattern and the secondary (second
most dominant) structural patterns and given a grade from 1 to 5 with 1 being most differentiated and 5 the least
differentiated. These two grades are added together to obtain the Gleason score. The most common predominant
grades observed in this study were grade 4 and grade 3. No cases showed grades 1 and 2. The most common
score obtained was 7 in 13 cases of the total 30 adenocarcinoma cases.
Prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia
The diagnosis of prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN) is made when microscopically benign
prostatic acini or ducts are lined by cytologically atypical cells showing stratification and slight nuclear
enlargement.[5],[6],[7] In the current study 8 cases of PIN were diagnosed.
IV. Discussion
BPH and adenocarcinoma are the two most common conditions affecting prostate gland. In our study
TURP specimens were most common specimen received which was similar to that in studies conducted by
Shakya et al [8] and Mittal et al [9] indicating a similar diagnostic approach. In the present study, we had 61%
cases of BPH, 25% cases of adenocarcinoma and 7% case of HGPIN. The findings in our study are comparable
with those of Mittal et al [9], Mohammed et al [10] and Sharma et al [11].

BPH is a condition where hyperplasia of both glandular and stromal components leading to an enlarged
prostate gland. The clinical incidence of this disease is only 8% during the fourth decade, but it reaches 50% in
the fifth decade and 75% in the eighth decade of life [12]. However, symptomatic BHP producing urinary
complaints and requiring surgical intervention is seen in only 5-10% of cases. Hyperplastic glands appear
cystically dilated with lining of two layers of cells, an inner columnar layer and an outer layer of cuboidal or
flattened epithelium (Figure 1). The nucleoli are inconspicuous. A continuous basal cell layer is seen
immediately above a basement membrane [13]. These glands often contain thickened secretions in their lumen
called corpora amylacea[14].
Fig 1. Benign hyperplasia of prostate (H&E X400)
In our study maximum cases of BPH were diagnosed in TURP specimens that are similar to Arora et al
[15]. This shows that TURP is still considered the gold standard for BPH cases. Maximum cases of BPH were
seen in the 61-69 years age group similar to Matapurkar et al[16]. Kim KB[17] et al had more cases in 8th
decade age group.
Chronic prostatitis is most commonly observed in nodular hyperplasia which was also seen by Kohnen
et al [18] in his study. But it is important to distinguish the true infectious processes of prostate from the
inconsequential mononuclear infiltrates often seen accompanying nodular hyperplasia [19]. In the current study
14 cases were diagnosed as chronic prostatitis where in microscopy showed presence of periglandular or
interglandular mononuclear cell infiltrate in the stroma, composed mainly of lymphocytes, few plasma cells and
histiocytes.
Granulomatous prostatitis can be clinically confused with prostatic carcinoma. The reported incidence
of granulomatous prostatitis is 0.36-4% [20],[21]. It is thought to represent an initially immune-mediated
process accompanied by a reaction to the prostatic secretions released from obstructed ducts [22, 23,24].
Histologically, an inflammatory reaction consisting of lymphocytes, macrophages, plasma cells and some giant
cells is seen. These granulomas are mostly centred in the lobules [25]. In the current study 2 cases of this
condition were seen.
PIN has been identified as a precursor lesion for prostatic carcinoma [26]. Currently conventional use
of the term ‘PIN’ without qualification refers to only high grade PIN (HGPIN). The clinical importance of
recognising PIN is based on it being strongly associated with carcinoma of prostate. PIN has a high predictive
value as a marker for adenocarcinoma and its identification in biopsy specimens of the prostate should
necessitate a thorough search for invasive carcinoma [27]. PIN consists of architecturally benign large,
branching prostatic acini lined by cytologically atypical cells with prominent nucleoli [5].(Figure 2) In our
study 8 cases showed HGPIN features.

Carcinoma of prostate is the second most common malignancy in men, second only to lung cancers
[28]. It is commonly seen in men above age of 50 years and it has age related increase in incidence, affecting
approximately 70% in men between the ages of 70 and 80 years [29]. Androgenic hormones play an important
role in occurrence of prostatic carcinoma [30]. A higher incidence has been seen in males with a first degree
relative being affected [31].
Microscopically in carcinoma there is only a single cell type without the basal layer. The pathological
diagnosis of carcinoma is indicated by crowded glands growing in haphazard fashion, large acini without
convolutions, fused glands, gland in gland, columns, cords and solid sheets. Nuclear enlargement with
prominent nucleoli is common (Figure 3). Adenocarcinoma accounted for 25% cases in our study. Maximum
numbers of our cases were in the 6th
decade. Sharma et al [11] had more cases in 7th decade.
Fig 3. Adenocarcinoma of prostate (H&E X400).
Adenocarcinomas were graded according to Gleason’s system [2] by taking into account morphological
appearance of glandular cells and the glandular pattern. Most common predominant grades observed in this
study were grade 4 while none of the cases showed grades 1 and 2. The most common score obtained was 7 in
13 cases of adenocarcinoma. Vollmer [32] had score 6 most common whereas Brawn et al [33] had scores 6 &
7. Adenocarcinoma cases commonly show the presence of malignant glands within perineurial spaces [34].
This finding is a strong indicator of malignancy but is not pathognomonic[35]. It represents spread of glandular
tissue along planes of lesser resistance [36, 37]. Its presence in a needle biopsy specimen is a good predictor of
capsular invasion by the tumor [38]. Perineurial invasion was seen in 9 of the 30 carcinoma cases.

V. Conclusion
TURP specimens were the most common type of specimen received for prostatic conditions. The
commonest age group affected by prostate lesions is the 6th
decade of life and the most common lesion observed
is BPH followed by prostate adenocarcinoma. PIN lesions present an important diagnostic challenge as they are
a known precursor lesion of prostatic carcinoma. Histopathological diagnosis and grading plays a definitive role
in the management of prostatic cancer.
