First-of-Its-Kind Clinical Blood Test Predicts Cancer Patient’s Response to ICI Immunotherapy

A first-of-its-kind clinical blood test predicts the likelihood of a cancer patient’s response to an essential, widely used class of therapeutics – Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors (ICIs) – including anti-PD-L1 and anti-PD-1 immunotherapies. More...

The image shows myocyte hypertrophy with enlarged hyperchromatic nuclei, mixed with myocyte atrophy and stretching. In addition, there is focal interstitial fibrosis (Photo courtesy of Dr. Dharam Ramnani)

Tintin-Truncating Variant Associated With Late-Onset Dilated Cardiomyopathy

Late-onset dilated cardiomyopathy might represent a distinct disease subtype marked by an increased burden of genetic variants, a new study has found. The findings further suggested that genetic testing may be beneficial for older dilated cardiomyopathy patients. More...

Histological Criteria Predicts Lymphoma Transformation in Bone Marrow Biopsies

Large cell transformation (LCT) of indolent B-cell lymphomas, such as follicular lymphoma (FL) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), signals a worse prognosis, at which point aggressive chemotherapy is initiated. Although LCT is relatively straightforward to diagnose in lymph nodes, a marrow biopsy is often obtained first given its ease of procedure, low cost, and low morbidity. However, consensus criteria for LCT in bone marrow have not been established. More...

Cytosponge Biomarker Panel Prioritizes Endoscopic Barrett's Esophagus Surveillance

Endoscopic surveillance is recommended for patients with Barrett's esophagus because, although the progression risk is low, endoscopic intervention is highly effective for high-grade dysplasia and cancer. However, repeated endoscopy has associated harms and access has been limited during the COVID-19 pandemic. We aimed to evaluate the role of a non-endoscopic device (Cytosponge) coupled with laboratory biomarkers and clinical factors to prioritize endoscopy for Barrett's esophagus. More...
