Invasive Pleomorphic Lobular Carcinoma of The Male Breast: A Rare Diagnosis wit...

Feeling better in the presence of others : it may depend on whether you are a m...
Garcia-Marques, Teresa; Prada, Marília; Fonseca, Ricardo; Fernandes, AlexandreAbstract: Previous research has suggested that it is good to have other people around us. Indeed, there seems to be a generally positive impact of the presence of others on individuals’ physical and psychological well-being.

Patient-derived explants of colorectal cancer: histopathological and molecular ...
da Mata, Sara; Franchi-Mendes, Teresa; Abreu, Sofia; Filipe, Bruno; Morgado, Sónia; Mesquita, Marta; Albuquerque, Cristina; Fonseca, RicardoColorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common cancers worldwide. Although short-term cultures of tumour sections and xenotransplants have been used to determine drug efficacy, the results frequently fail to confer clinically useful information. Biomarker discovery has changed the paradigm for advanced CRC, though the presence of a biomarker does not necessarily translate into therapeutic success. To improve...
A second endoscopic ultrasound with fine‐needle aspiration for cytology identif...
Faias, Sandra; Pereira, Luisa; Fonseca, Ricardo; Chaves, Paula; Dias Pereira, António; Cravo, MaríliaBackground: Endoscopic ultrasound with fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) is recommended for diagnosis of pancreatic cystic lesions (PCLs). Its role in surveillance is unclear. Our goal was to determine if a second EUS-FNA changes diagnosis or management of PCLs. Methods: A retrospective analysis of an EUS database, searching for EUS-FNAs in PCLs from 2007 to 2017 was performed. Demographics, cyst characteristics...
