Immune Cells in Cerebrospinal Fluid Predict Response to Immunotherapy

Immune checkpoint inhibitors including anti-PD1, anti-PD-L1, and anti-CTLA4, have shown significant clinical benefits in patients with progressive or metastatic solid tumors, including some brain metastasis. Notably, these immune-based therapies have improved outcomes for some of those suffering from lung cancer and melanoma. More...

Pediatric Pancreatic Cancer Diagnosed From cfDNA Fragments in Urine

Although rare, pancreatoblastoma is the most common pancreatic tumor of young children. Carcinoma of acinar cell origin has rarely been reported in older children. Ductal adenocarcinoma and its many variants are the most common pancreatic tumors in adults, but these are exceedingly rare in children. More...
