Mismatch Between Preoperative MRI Findings and Postoperative Histological Results in the Treatment of Tenosynovial Giant Cell Tumor Open
Although imaging showed pathognomonic characteristics, the diagnosis of TGCT was not confirmed histopathologically in almost 29%. We therefore recommend a preoperative biopsy, especially in case of doubt, and treatment of TGCT in designate…

Influence of tumor-infiltrating immune cells on local control rate, distant metastasis, and survival in patients with soft tissue sarcoma Open
Soft tissue sarcomas (STS) are considered non-immunogenic, although distinct entities respond to anti-tumor agents targeting the tumor microenvironment. This study's aims were to investigate relationships between tumor-infiltrating immune …
