A total of 101 (51 yeasts and 50 moulds) clinical isolates were included for analysis. Isolates included in the study were recovered from a variety of body sites and reflected the case mix encountered in daily practice. Antifungal susceptibility testing was performed using three methods: YO10, YIT and gradient diffusion strip (for isavuconazole only). Reproducibility, essential agreement (EA) and categorical agreement (CA) were calculated. When YO10 and YIT plates were compared, the reproducibility was 100% for eight common antifungals. The CA was >97% for all antifungals except for amphotericin B (89.4%), but this was attributed to seven isolates with minimum inhibitory concentrations bordering the wild-type (WT) cut-off. The EA obtained when testing isavuconazole using YIT versus gradient diffusion was 77.2% overall, 90.2% for yeasts and 64% for moulds. In conclusion, the YIT plate is suitable for antifungal susceptibility testing of yeasts in our laboratory. Its use for mould isolates needs to be monitored further.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":19915,"journal":{"name":"Pathology","volume":"57 1","pages":"Pages 100-104"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142625678","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We herein assessed radical prostatectomy findings and long-term oncologic outcomes in 732 men with Grade Group 2–4 CPA without any Gleason pattern 5. Our cases were divided into four cohorts according to the absence or presence of Crib within CPA and/or IDC: Cohort-1, no Crib (<em>n</em>=347; 47.4%); Cohort-2, Crib only in CPA (<em>n</em>=203; 27.7%); Cohort-3, Crib only in IDC (<em>n</em>=17; 2.3%); and Cohort-4, Crib in both CPA and IDC (<em>n</em>=165; 22.5%). Compared with that in CPA only (Cohort-2), Crib in both CPA and IDC (Cohort-4) was significantly associated with adverse histopathological features, including higher tumour grade/stage and larger tumour volume. Univariate analysis revealed significantly higher risks of postoperative recurrence in patients with Crib in IDC only [Cohort-3; hazard ratio (HR) 2.450, <em>p</em>=0.022] or both CPA and IDC (Cohort-4; HR 2.835, <em>p</em><0.001) than in those with Crib in CPA only (Cohort-2), whereas the prognosis was analogous between Cohort-3 and Cohort-4 (<em>p</em>=0.913). In a multivariable analysis [Crib in CPA only (Cohort-2) as a reference], Crib in IDC only (Cohort-3; HR 3.821, <em>p</em>=0.002) or both CPA and IDC (Cohort-4; HR 1.905, <em>p</em>=0.004) showed significantly worse recurrence-free survival. Compared with Crib in CPA only, its presence in both CPA and IDC was thus found to be independently associated with a poorer prognosis, suggesting a potentially greater clinical impact of Crib in IDC than in CPA.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":19915,"journal":{"name":"Pathology","volume":"57 1","pages":"Pages 3-9"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142731716","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
