Abstract
BACKGROUND Adult guidelines recommend BEP (bleomycin, etoposide, cisplatin) for all ovarian germ cell tumours, causing debilitating toxicities in young patients who will survive long term. Paediatricians successfully reduce toxicities by using lower bleomycin doses and substituting carboplatin for cisplatin, while testicular and paediatric immature teratomas (ITs) are safely managed with surgery alone. AIM The aim was to determine whether reduced-toxicity treatment could rationally be extended to patients older than 18 years. METHODS Multicentre cohort study was carried out in four large UK cancer centres over 12 years. RESULTS One hundred thirty-eight patients were enrolled. Overall survival was 93%, and event-free survival (EFS) was 72%. Neoadjuvant/adjuvant chemotherapy (82% BEP) caused 27 potentially chronic toxicities, and one patient subsequently died from acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. There was no difference in histology, stage or grade in patients ≤/>18 years, and EFS was not different in these age groups (≤18:28% and >18:28%; log-rank P = 0.96). Histological subtype powerfully predicted EFS (log-rank P = 4.9 × 10-7). Neoadjuvant/adjuvant chemotherapy reduced future relapse/progression in dysgerminoma (n = 37, chemo:0% vs. no chemo:20%), yolk sac tumour (n = 23, 26.3% vs.75%) and mixed germ cell tumour (n = 32, 40%vs.70%) but not in IT (n = 42, 33% vs.15%). Additionally, we observed no radiological responses to chemotherapy in ITs, pathological IT grade did not predict EFS (univariate hazard ratio 0.82, 95% confidence interval: 0.57-1.19, P = 0.94) and there were no deaths in this subtype. CONCLUSION Survival was excellent but chemotherapy toxicities were severe, implying significant overtreatment. Our data support the extension of reduced-toxicity, paediatric regimens to adults. Our practice-changing findings that IT was chemotherapy resistant and pathological grade uninformative strongly endorse exclusive surgical management of ovarian ITs at all ages.

Abstract
Patients with congenital heart disease with a pressure-overloaded right ventricle can develop liver disease and would benefit from non-invasive diagnostic modalities such as ultrasound shear wave elastography (US SWE). We sought to investigate the ability of US SWE to measure dynamic changes in liver stiffness with an acute fluid bolus in an animal model. Three piglets underwent surgical intervention to create a pressure-overloaded right ventricle and, 12 wk later, underwent US SWE, both pre- and post-intravenous infusion of a saline bolus. Ultrasound measures of shear modulus, velocity and attenuation were taken to characterize hepatic mechanical properties. Liver stiffness exhibited a dynamic component that increased after fluid bolus, although not reaching statistical significance with our small sample size, and these changes were greater in more diseased livers. US SWE may provide a promising non-invasive method for assessing dynamic changes in hydration status and degree of liver disease.

Abstract
Abstract
Purpose
Breast conservation has become the mainstay of surgical management for early stage breast cancer. Large volume displacement oncoplastic surgery (LVOS) uses reconstructive mastopexy and breast reduction techniques to allow for larger oncologic resections while providing good aesthetic outcomes in a single operation. Oncoplastic surgery publications have recently increased by 220%, demonstrating the increasing popularity of this surgical technique, 2 and many of these studies have demonstrated excellent oncologic outcomes.4 To date, however, no study has used the most recent SSO/ASBrS/ASTRO surgical margin recommendations to assess oncoplastic surgery. 4 Recent SSO/ASBrS/ASTRO guidelines established no ink on tumor as an adequate margin for invasive breast cancer and at least 2mm as adequate margins for ductal carcinoma in situ. The purpose of this study was to investigate the surgical margin rates of LVOS using the new SSO/ASBrS/ASTRO guidelines. We presumed that under the newer, stricter guidelines, LVOS would have a higher positive margin rate than reported in the past literature.
Methods:
Our study consisted of two parts. First, a literature review to assess margin rates before the introduction of SSO/ASBrS/ASTRO guidelines was done using PRISMA guidelines with an international Pubmed search and reviewed by two blinded authors. The search included keywords such as “oncoplastic breast surgery,” “lumpectomy,” “partial mastectomy,” and “positive margins associated with breast surgery.” All articles either pertained to LVOS, standard lumpectomy (SL) or both. The inclusion criteria for our study included histology discrepancy, and new guideline margin status. From this, we determined the published positive margin for SL and LVOS. Second, we analyzed all LVOS performed at our institution since the adoption of the new SSO/ASBrS/ASTRO margin guidelines and compared these margin rates to the literature review outcomes using Z tests.
Results:
Our study consisted of 1702 patients. There were 847 patients in LVOS group and 855 patients in the SL group. Of the 45 papers evaluated, 34 were not included due to exclusion criteria (missing: new margin guidelines, histology, or margin status). The pre-guideline positive margin rate for LVOS was lower than with SL (12.51% vs. 20.4%, P-value <0.001). Of the 50 LVOS operations done at our institution since adoption of the SSO/ASBrS/ASTRO margin guidelines, no statistical difference in the positive margin rates was noted when compared to the literature rates (10% vs. 12.67% respectively, P-value 0.5796). Positive margin rates for LVOS at our institution were lower than SL margin rates reported in the literature (P-value 0.0358).
Conclusions:
This study demonstrates that even with the stricter margin SSO/ASBrS/ASTRO guidelines, LVOS still has a low positive margin rate comparable to pre-guideline literature reports. LVOS continues to have a significantly lower positive margin rate than SL. This is the first study to report margin rates for LVOS after the adoption of the SSO/ASBrS/ASTRO guidelines, and confirms the importance of LVOS in providing optimal oncologic outcomes for patient with large locally advanced breast cancer.

Abstract
Osteomalacia has multiple aetiologies including the least common, tumour-induced osteomalacia (TIO). Recently, most cases of TIO have been confirmed to be due to phosphaturic mesenchymal tumour of mixed connective tissue type (PMTMCT). Most cases of TIO are the result of production of the fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23) by the tumour. The authors recently showed reverse transcriptase PCR (RT-PCR) for FGF-23 to be valuable in the diagnosis of PMTMCT. However, the authors also noted FGF-23 expression in some cases of aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) and chondromyxoid fibroma (CMF). For the present study, the authors studied FGF-23 expression by RT-PCR in 19 cases of ABC and eight cases of CMF, all with typical clinical and radiographic features and without evidence of TIO. Seven of 16 (44%) ABC and two of seven (29%) CMF were positive for FGF-23. These results confirm that ABC and CMF not uncommonly express FGF-23. These results strongly suggest caution and careful integration with all other clinical and radiographic data in the use of FGF-23 RT-PCR for the diagnosis of PMTMCT.

Abstract
Abstract
There is considerable clinical interest in the role that human papillomavirus (HPV) plays in the development of oropharyngeal cancers. A variety of assays are currently available to stratify patients based on HPV status prior to treatment. The most frequently utilized are PCR and In Situ hybridization (ISH) to detect the presence of HPV DNA sequences. The increasing clinical interest in determining HPV patient status relates to compelling evidence that a subset of patients with HPV positive tumors have better clinical outcomes. Evidence also suggests that patients with HPV positive tumors should be further divided into groupings based on levels of viral activity and that this may represent additional clinical information necessary to develop appropriate treatment plans. The most frequently applied assay to identify HPV activity in a patient sample is to detect the over-expression of the surrogate protein marker p16 by Immunohistochemisty (IHC), which has been shown to increase expression in response to HPV active infections in oropharyngeal cancer. An alternative technique to quantitatively detect the presence and level of transcriptional activity of HPV in tissue samples is to measure the expression of oncogenes E6 and E7. We have analyzed the fresh frozen tissue samples corresponding to matched tumor, normal and metastatic patient tissues using a quantitative PCR (qPCR) approach to determine the expression of HPV oncogenes and p16 gene expression. We observed that there are three groups of oropharyngeal tumors when grouped by HPV16 E6 and E7 gene expression. The first are the most rare and are tumors that contain no HPV sequences or expression of the E6 and E7 ocogenes. The second are tumors that contain HPV DNA sequences but very low expression of E6 or E7 and the third are tumors that contain HPV DNA sequence and robust expression of E6 and E7. Additionally, we found variable correlation between HPV16 E6 and E7 expression and p16 gene expression, suggesting that factors other than HPV oncogene expression may influence the expression of p16. Our results would indicate that the best assays for quantifying the activity of an HPV infection in oropharyngeal cancers would be those optimized to accurately measure either E6 and E7 transcripts or their protein products directly out of paraffin-embedded tissues.
