We recommend prospective research to determine whether serum CEA estimation is useful as a component of routine pre-treatment workup for MACs arising from the salivary glands.
The MAC and SRCC groups also showed poorer overall CCS (60.9 and 32.5% vs. 67.8%, P < .001), with corresponding HR values of 1.271 (95% CI, 1.242-1.302, P < .001) and 1.724 (95% CI, 1.685-1.765, P < .001), respectively.
The 10 cases of MACA harbored a similar prevalence of TP53 mutations (n=5, 50%) as HAMN but, unlike LAMN and HAMN, some harbored mutations in PIK3CA, APC, FBXW7, PTEN, and SMAD4.

This study adds to the existing evidence that CRP plays a role in ovarian carcinogenesis and suggests that inflammation may be particularly implicated in the etiology of endometrioid and mucinous carcinoma.
Reduction of MFAP5 staining was also observed in the stroma around mucin pools in 6 out of 9 sections from mucinous adenocarcinomas and in areas with high-grade dysplasia.
Besides this is the first report that shows different SATB1 expressions in conventional colorectal adenocarcinoma and mucinous carcinoma, and also in right-sided and left-sided CRC.
Among the 897 non-mucinous adenocarcinomas, 61 PMPA with ≤90% mucin and 39 PMPA with >90% mucin, ALK rearrangements were found in 47 (5.2%) non-mucinous adenocarcinomas, 9 (14.8%) PMPA with ≤90% mucin and 12 (30.8%) PMPA with >90% mucin, respectively, with an ordinal association (coefficient, 95% CI=0.11, 0.06 to 0.17).
The tumor showed pathologic complete response (pCR) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy with trastuzumab and pertuzumab. pCR of HER2-positive MC has rarely been described in literature.
The nomogram based on multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that clinical T4 and N2 stages were the most significant independent clinical predictors for not achieving pCR, followed by mucinous adenocarcinoma and positive pre-treatment serum CEA results.

In a multivariate analysis, female, advanced age, tumor type histology, mucinous carcinoma and positive tumor deposits were associated with a high KRAS mutation rate.
Systemic chemotherapy before cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS/HIPEC) in patients with high-grade mucinous carcinoma peritonei of appendiceal origin.
Syk, MAP4 and calpain-1 appeared to significantly correlate with each other in the whole cohort, with calpain-1 being more highly associated with MAP4 and Syk in mucinous carcinomas.

After neoadjuvant CRT, overall downstaging occurred in 44.4% of MAC and 72.4% of non-MAC (p=0.001), and positive CRM (≤1 mm) was observed more frequently in MAC (p<0.001).
In conclusion, alteration of BRCA-1 expression is more frequent in serous than in mucinous carcinomas and is associated with tumors of higher grades and high proliferation rate.
