If there are intraoperative findings, gross examination, or radiologic findings supporting ETE into muscle (in addition to microscopic evidence), stage as pT3b.
If only microscopic ETE is present without such supporting evidence, stage as pT1–pT3a based on tumor size.

Canalicular adenoma of the upper lip: a benign salivary tumour with classic “string-of-pearls” cords of bland columnar cells in a loose, vascular stroma. Well circumscribed, cytologically bland, often cystic, and cured by excision. A beautiful and distinctive entity!

The Epigenetic Engines of Cancer: Decoding the SWI/SNF Complex 🧬⚙️
From the brain (AT/RT) to the lung (SMARCA4-def) to the kidney (MRT). Different organs. Different ages. Same Molecular Culprit.
Why does the loss of one "Chromatin Remodeler" create the most aggressive, chemo-resistant tumors?
