TL;DR: In pulmonary adenocarcinomas with classic morphology, which comprise the majority of cases, there is good reproducibility in identifying a predominant pattern and fair Reproducibility distinguishing invasive from in-situ (wholly lepidic) patterns.
Journal ArticleDOI

Michelle M. Rietbergen,C. René Leemans,Elisabeth Bloemena,Daniëlle A.M. Heideman,Boudewijn J.M. Braakhuis,Albertus T. Hesselink,Birgit I. Witte,Robert J. Baatenburg de Jong,Chris J.L.M. Meijer,Peter J.F. Snijders,Ruud H. Brakenhoff +10 more
TL;DR: The accuracy of the test algorithm for HPV detection in FFPE tumor specimen is confirmed and a significant increase in the prevalence of HPV in OPSCC over the last two decades at the authors' center is found.
Journal ArticleDOI
A prediction rule for the development of arthritis in seropositive arthralgia patients
TL;DR: In patients presenting with seropositive arthralgia, the risk of developing arthritis can be predicted and this prediction rule can help to inform patients and to select high-risk patients for intervention studies before clinical arthritis occurs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human papillomavirus detection and comorbidity: critical issues in selection of patients with oropharyngeal cancer for treatment De-escalation trials

TL;DR: Tumor HPV status is a strong and independent prognostic factor for survival among patients with oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma and the importance of performing an HPV DNA-specific test besides p16-immunostaining is emphasized.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is indicated that loss of remission or relapse occurs in virtually all patients with AIH in long-term remission when immunosuppressive therapy is discontinued, and these findings indicate a reluctant attitude towards discontinuation of immunOSuppressive treatment in AIH patients.
