Lymph node size and its association with nodal metastasis in ductal adenocarcinoma of the pancreas.
...Published in Journal of pathology and translational medicine
Although lymph node metastasis is a poor prognostic factor in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), our understanding of lymph node size in association with PDAC is limited. Increased nodal size in preoperative imaging has been used to detect node metastasis. We evaluated whether lymph node size can be used as a surrogate preoperat...
Prediction of TP53 mutations by p53 immunohistochemistry and their prognostic significance in gastric cancer.
Published in Journal of pathology and translational medicine
Recently, molecular classifications of gastric cancer (GC) have been proposed that include TP53 mutations and their functional activity. We aimed to demonstrate the correlation between p53 immunohistochemistry (IHC) and TP53 mutations as well as their clinicopathological significance in GC. Deep targeted sequencing was performed using surgical or b...

Prevalence of high-risk human papillomavirus and its genotype distribution in head and neck squamous cell carcinomas.
Published in Journal of pathology and translational medicine
High-risk (HR) human papillomavirus (HPV) is found in a subset of head and neck (HN) squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs). For oropharyngeal SCCs, HR HPV positivity is known to be associated with good prognosis, and a separate staging system for HPV-associated carcinomas using p16 immunohistochemistry (IHC) as a surrogate test has been adopted in the 8t...
Pathologic interpretation of endoscopic ultrasound–guided fine needle aspiration cytology/biopsy for pancreatic lesions
Published in Journal of Pathology and Translational Medicine
Pathologic interpretation of endoscopic ultrasound–guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) cytology/biopsy specimens is one of the most challenging tasks in cytology and surgical pathology practice, as the procedure often yields minimal amounts of diagnostic material and contains contaminants, such as blood cells and normal intestinal mucosa. EUS-F...
Thyroid fine-needle aspiration cytology in Taiwan: a nationwide survey and literature update
Published in Journal of Pathology and Translational Medicine
In Taiwan, thyroid fine-needle aspiration cytology is easily accessible and reliable for evaluating thyroid nodules. The sonographic pattern plays a major role and is the deciding factor for aspiration. We conducted a nationwide survey in 2017 and it revealed that 31% of laboratories had adopted The Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopatholo...
Renal intravascular large B cell lymphoma: the first case report in Korea and a review of the literature
Published in Journal of Pathology and Translational Medicine
Herein, we describe the first case of renal intravascular large B cell lymphoma in Korea occurring in a 66-year-old female. She presented with mild fever and dyspnea. On physical and laboratory evaluations, hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis was suspected, but the bone marrow biopsy results were unremarkable. During the work-up, massive proteinuria...
Indirect pathological indicators for cardiac sarcoidosis on endomyocardial biopsy
Published in Journal of Pathology and Translational Medicine
Background The definitive pathologic diagnosis of cardiac sarcoidosis requires observation of a granuloma in the myocardial tissue. It is common, however, to receive a “negative” report for a clinically probable case. We would like to advise pathologists and clinicians on how to interpret “negative” biopsies. Methods Our study samples were 27 endom...
Analysis of PAX8 immunohistochemistry in lung cancers: a meta-analysis
Published in Journal of Pathology and Translational Medicine
Background In this meta-analysis, we aimed to evaluate the PAX8 immunohistochemical expressions in primary lung cancers and metastatic cancers to the lung. Methods We identified and reviewed relevant articles from the PubMed databases. Ultimately, 18 articles were included in this meta-analysis. PAX8 expression rates were analyzed and compared betw...
