The finding that basophil counts may have prognostic significance aligns with a growing body of research into basophils in myeloproliferative neoplasms.
Lower Tregs Linked With Survival in Multiple Myeloma
The findings contradict previous research suggesting high-risk patients with multiple myeloma were more likely to have a higher percentage of regulatory T cells (Tregs).
MRD-Guided Ibrutinib Plus Venetoclax Effective in R/R CLL
Patients with relapsed or refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (R/R CLL) had similar results when they continued on ibrutinib or stopped and started ibrutinib plus venetoclax based on minimal residual disease (MRD) status.
Gene Variants Linked With Survival Outcomes in IPF
The findings suggest a role for assessment of variant-carrying status to predict disease progression in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).

The incidence of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is projected to drop by 5.9% each year through 2050.
AI Identifies Possible New Therapy for IPF
A deep learning generative model is capable of autonomously learning about idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
Differentially Expressed Genes May Serve as IPF Biomarkers
The genes are all associated with cellular senescence, which is believed to play an important role in the development of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).
Liso-Cel Improves Outcomes in R/R CLL/SLL Following 2 or More Lines of Therapy
Investigators used previous trial data to compare patients receiving the chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy lisocabtagene maraleucel (liso-cel) to a real-world cohort receiving standard therapy.
Mitotic Rate, Lymphovascular Invasion Among Risk Factors for Relapse in Melanoma
Patients with early-stage melanoma who experience relapse following wide local excision face worse survival outcomes.
Multi-Hit TP53 Mutations Linked With Poor Outcomes in MPN, AML
Multi-hit TP53 mutations significantly worsened survival in patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML), revealing critical prognostic insights.
Venetoclax Effective in Older Patients With CLL
Venetoclax demonstrated impressive efficacy in octogenarians with CLL, although treatment management posed some challenges.
Tarlatamab Improves SCLC Outcomes After Platinum Chemotherapy
Median overall survival was 5 months longer in patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC) who received tarlatamab instead of chemotherapy after progression following platinum-based chemotherapy.
Teledermatology Shows Promise to Reduce Disparities in Skin Cancer Screening
A teledermatology program in Georgia helped identify patients with skin lesions that warranted in-person follow-up with a physician.
AI-Derived Therapy for IPF Shows Potential in Phase 2a Trial
The potential therapy for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is notable because not only was the small molecule discovered by artificial intelligence, but the drug’s target itself was, too.
Cemiplimab Improves Disease-Free Survival in High-Risk, Advanced CSCC
Cemiplimab improved disease-free survival in patients with high-risk cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) and performed well in patients with advanced CSCC in the real-world setting.
Obesity Guidelines Differ for Adult, Pediatric Patients
A new analysis of obesity guidelines suggests more evidence is needed to develop stronger guidelines for the transition period between childhood and adulthood.
First-Line Ibrutinib Effective in CLL/SLL With or Without Risk Factors
Real-world data show no significant differences in overall survival between patients with or without cytogenetic risk factors.
Immunotherapy Timing Does Not Significantly Affect Outcomes in ES-SCLC
The timing of immunotherapy initiation is not a significant factor in the outcomes of patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC), a study found.
Spleen Stiffness Measurement Linked With Portal Hypertension in MPNs
A new report suggests a noninvasive means to evaluate portal hypertension in patients with BCR::ABL1-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms.
Auto-SCT Superior to Allo-SCT in Relapsed Myeloma After First-Line Auto-SCT
A meta-analysis suggests allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT) should not be recommended following first-line autologous stem cell transplant (auto-SCT).
C5aR1 Flagged as Biomarker in Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma
The findings are notable in part because therapies have already been approved to target C5aR1 in other diseases.
Biomarker-Adapted Treatment Effective in High-Risk LBCL
TP53 aberrations and circulating tumor DNA burden were found to be predictors of poor outcomes in high-risk patients with large B-cell lymphoma.
AI Model Can Help Classify Atopic Dermatitis Lesion Severity
A new analysis suggests artificial intelligence algorithms are able to accurately assess lesion severity in patients with atopic dermatitis.
