Treatment outcomes and risk factors of patients with intracranial germ cell tumour with choriocarcinoma element or β-HCG level higher than 500 IU/L
ConclusionsPatients with iGCTs with choriocarcinoma element or β-HCG > 500 IU/L showed improved survival with radiotherapy-based treatments. Additional chemotherapy cycles could result in additional survival benefits. Patients with β-HCG level > 3000 IU/L had poorer prognosis. (Source: Journal of Neuro-Oncology)

Unusual or Uncommon Histology of Gastric Cancer
J Gastric Cancer. 2024 Jan;24(1):69-88. doi: 10.5230/jgc.2024.24.e7.ABSTRACTThis review comprehensively examines the diverse spectrum of gastric cancers, focusing on unusual or uncommon histology that presents significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. While the predominant form, tubular adenocarcinoma, is well-characterized, this review focuses on lesser-known variants, including papillary adenocarcinoma, micropapillary carcinoma, adenosquamous carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), hepatoid adenocarcinoma, gastric choriocarcinoma, gastric carcinoma with lymphoid stroma, carcinosarcoma, gastroblastoma, parietal...
