A rare case of distal pancreatectomy with GDA resection. Clip at the distal end RGA preserved. Coronary vein (LGV) sacrificed, the only gastric venous outflow through RGEV into trunk of Henle

I was delighted to co-write a recently released textbook on “Melanocytic Tumors of the Skin” with my dear friend & collaborator of almost 20 years Dr Klaus Busam MD.

Klaus has worked in New York City at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) throughout this time &…

Congratulations to Professor Richard Scolyer AO in conjunction with Dr Klaus Busam who have completed and now published the AFP Atlas of Tumour Pathology on Melanocytic Skin Tumours. Wonderful effort and a true labour of passion.

We need to be cautious when we have higher grade nuclear features, the intracytoplasmic vacuoles may be more subtle and requires careful examination! Check this study by Anthony J Gill and Kiril_T_Can pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25025441/

Homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) and PARP inhibitors are kind of a confusing topic. HRD is caused by defects in the homologous recombination repair (HRR) proteins, which repair double-strand breaks by using the homologous chromosome as a template. #AMPtutorials (1/10)

1/2 1.5 cm thyroid tumour. With these appearances.
Is this the hobnail subtype of papillary carcinoma?

Fantastic news!!!!!!

Amazingly, my latest MRI brain scan shows no recurrence 10 months since my #glioblastoma presented with a seizure in #Poland . Median time to recurrence is 6 months.

I’m extremely hopeful that the novel #neoadjuvant combination #immunotherapy I’ve had &…

New predictive biomarker for gastric cancer - can you identify it based on this pattern of expression? #GIpath #IHCpath #PathTwitter

I had my latest MRI scan today looking for recurrent tumour (or complications of treatment). I expect I’ll receive the results later this week.

Incredibly it is now about 10 months since my supposedly incurable #glioblastoma was initially detected when I had a seizure in…
