Rhabdomyosarcoma, a common form of soft tissue sarcoma in pediatric patients with outcomes that have improved through research, is rare among older patients, who also have significantly poorer outcomes.

This investigation was conducted among older, frail patients, a population typically underrepresented in clinical trials.

Patients who have comorbid relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) and advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) are often excluded from clinical trials, leaving treatment gaps for these high-risk patients.

A trio of posters presented at AIDS 2024, the 25th International AIDS Conference, explored widespread disparities in access to pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and how to make access more equitable, both globally and locally.

David P. Carbone, MD, PhD, director of the thoracic oncology center at The Ohio State University in Columbus, discusses the importance of biomarker testing in both lung cancer overall and non–small cell lung cancer specifically.

In this analysis, outcomes were investigated among 41 pediatric and young adult patients who had soft-tissue sarcoma and were aged 0 months to 22 years.

In part 1 of this interview, Musarrat Perveen, regional coordinator at Coordination of Action Research on AIDS and Mobility in Asia (CARAM Asia), explained the research she presented at the 25th International AIDS Conference and the disparities migrant workers continue to encounter in HIV care.

Relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) remains an incurable hematologic cancer, often resulting in patients treated with several classes of medications—particularly older patients.

The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic continue to reverberate, as shown in these new data from surveys of adults in the 50 states conducted over approximately 4 years.

There will likely be a 7% increase in Affordable Care Act (ACA) Marketplace plan premiums next year across the 324 participating insurers from the 50 states and Washington, DC.

Visceral pleural invasion of non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) was investigated in this analysis for its potential to predispose patients to worse survival outcomes and greater chances of disease recurrence.

This research presented at AIDS 2024 shows that cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) groups help to fill an unmet need among older persons living with HIV: to overcome the age-related health disparities this group experiences from being in long-term care and improve their health outcomes.

Daratumumab/hyaluronidase-fihj plus bortezomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone is now approved by the FDA to treat newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM) in patients eligible for autologous stem cell transplant.
