Adult versus pediatric nasopharyngeal carcinoma: two clinical entities or one continuum

Purpose: Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is rare in children and presents distinct biological and clinical features compared to adults.Comparative outcome data remain limited, particularly regarding patterns of failure. Materials and Methods:We retrospectively analyzed 164 patient...

Vaginal Angiomyofibroblastoma in a Patient With W arkany Syndrome (Mosaic Trisomy 8): A Case Report

ABSTRACT Warkany syndrome, or mosaic trisomy 8, is a rare chromosomal disorder characterized by craniofacial dysmorphism, skeletal anomalies, and urogenital malformations, with no previously reported association with solid mesenchymal neoplasia. Angiomyofibroblastoma is an extrem...

Globalising the access to advanced molecular diagnostics of CNS tumors: Experience of the Molecular Neuro-Pathology (MNP) Outreach Consortium

Central nervous system (CNS) tumors pose a major global health challenge, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where outcomes remain disproportionately poor. The global CONCORD-3 study (Lancet Oncology) highlighted stark disparities in five-year survival (201...

Integrated multiomic diagnostics in central nervous system tumors from clinical readiness to practical prioritization

Central nervous system (CNS) tumors represent a biologically heterogeneous group of neoplasms in which accurate classification is essential for prognosis, therapeutic planning, and clinical trial eligibility. Contemporary diagnosis increasingly incorporates molecular findings alo...

AOSNP‐ADAPTR resource level‐based recommendations on practical diagnostic strategies for medulloblastomas and other embryonal tumors

WHO CNS5 mandates integrated histo-molecular classification of medulloblastomas (MBs) and other CNS embryonal tumors. However, advanced molecular diagnostics remain inaccessible in many low- and lower-middle-income countries (LICs/LMICs), limiting implementation of molecularly in...
