Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women and, despite various treatment regimens, many patients die from the disease. A subpopulation of tumor cells, called cancer stem cells (CSC), is believed to contribute to the failure of breast cancer therapy due to their reported resistance to ch...
Benign metastasizing leiomyomatosis (BML) is a rare condition, first described in 1939, and characterized by disseminated uterine smooth muscle tumors in the lungs, vasculature, abdomen, and pelvis in women with a history of uterine leiomyoma, often after hysterectomy [1], [2]. The disease genera...
The 2 square inches of muscle hollowed out of her leg included all sorts of things that just like Meghan, “don’t fit in a box.” But by removing them, and getting a clear margin on this benign tumor, the surgeon was able to close her 4-inch opening from the femur back up to ...
Electromechanical morcellation—so called power morcellation—is a minimally invasive approach to remove bulky lesions such as uterine fibroids. The spread of benign and malignant tissue due to morcellation is a major concern that might limit the use of laparoscopic interventions. We present an in vitr...

There appears to be increased variability in the types of staining patterns seen within the malignant melanocyte population of any given tumor of this type. Some malignant melanocytes exhibit a broad perinuclear pattern of staining, some malignant melanocytes lack nuclear staining altogether, and others...
In cancer, one of the main relevant aspects of miRNAs is that they can act as “oncogenes” or “tumor suppressor” genes depending on which target they bind and the cellular environment [5–8]. Moreover, there are several in vitro functional studies evidencing this dual role of miRNAs in...
