Overall, infections occurred in 18.42% of cases and typically occurred within the first month, significantly dropping from then on.

This prospective study on reflectance confocal microscopy, a high-resolution and noninvasive form of imaging for skin cancer, investigated if the diagnostic method could improve accuracy results by 30% following dermoscopy.

Dr Ciombor provides her insight on determining appropriate testing strategies for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer.

In his final thoughts, Dr Haumschild outlines opportunities for next-generation sequencing in treatment for metastatic colorectal cancer.

In retina surgery, obtaining prior authorization is an extra burden, and a delay in treatment for some of these patients could mean loss of vision, said Sabin Dang, MD, ophthalmologist with The Retina Institute.

The research may eventually help clinicians optimize therapy with immune checkpoint inhibitors.

Understanding that patients who are HER2-low are different from patients who are HER2-positive and -negative means having the right way to evaluate and identify these patients, explained Debra Patt, MD, PhD, MBA, executive vice president of Texas Oncology.

A recent survey of patients with urticarial vasculitis found that quality-of-life (QOL) impairment is an important factor to consider when putting disease management plans in place.

In this interview, Vernon Sondak, MD, the chair of the Department of Cutaneous Oncology at the H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute in Florida, explains the latest approach to treating patients with melanoma with BRAF mutations, including those whose disease has spread to the brain or other sites.

Although melanoma incidence has been reported in Europe overall for the past several decades, specific numbers on the cancer’s incidence in Finland, as well as disease trends, have remained unknown.

Nonspecific clinical symptoms can make identifying eosinophilic gastritis difficult, but detailed examination, biopsy, and testing can rule out other possible causes of eosinophilic infiltration of the gastric mucosa.

Nine out of 10 patients with hemophilia B dosed with FLT180a were able to stop their weekly infusions of replacement factor IX.

A new study outlining the experiences of women with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) finds many women feel their initial symptoms are downplayed by providers, leading to costly delays in diagnosis.

This new study investigated the ability of a multiparametric model to calculate risk of eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (ECRSwNP) by comparing its clinical characteristics with noneosinophilic CRSwNP.

Several measures of hemodynamic capacity were improved in this study that evaluated sacubitril/valsartan use for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and pulmonary hypertension (HFpEF-PH).

Until recently, ophthalmologists in the United States have had no experience with biosimilars, despite the availability of biosimilars for bevacizumab, which is commonly used off label for ophthalmic conditions.

Results from a phase 2a study show that a bivalent prefusion F vaccine was effective against symptomatic respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection and viral shedding, with no identified safety concerns.

As the number of known cancer targets and precision therapies increases, implementing whole-genome sequencing (WGS) into regular clinical practice may benefit patients with metastatic cancer.

Previously, patients with low expression of HER2 were categorized as HER2-negative but adding the HER2-low classification creates new opportunities for patients with advanced breast cancer, explained Debra Patt, MD, PhD, MBA, executive vice president of Texas Oncology.

Each disease group guides and approves OneOncology clinical pathways to reflect evidenced-based national guidelines, which are updated often as new trial results are published or presented at major scientific meetings.

This systematic review found that studies of case management interventions have adequate quality and, in many cases, show cost-effective or even cost-saving results.

New data suggest motor function improves with amifampridine.

Dr Haumschild aligns payer considerations with molecular testing and biomarker application for treatment of patients with mCRC.
