Neutrophil depletion also decreases the Th2-type cytokine levels. Altogether, our data indicate that neutrophils play a role in modulating the cryptococcal immune response.

While secondary ES is associated with increased morbidity and mortality, any diagnosis of ES confers a poor prognosis. In this case report, we describe a young male patient diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and secondary ES that was complicated by multiple relapses and subsequent infections, bleeding events, and thrombotic events that ultimately led to the passing of the patient.

Journal, PD(L)-1 Biomarker, IO biomarker: Pathologically Complete Response to Camrelizumab and Apatinib in Advanced Cervical Cancer with PTEN, PIK3CA, MTOR, and ARID1A Mutations: A Case Report. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 21, 2025 Camrelizumab is affordable, at just 10% of the price of pembrolizumab, although it is similarly not covered by medical insurance for cervical cancer in China. The PTEN, PIK3CA, MTOR, and ARID1A gene mutations hold the potential to serve as predictive biomarkers for cervical cancer patients treated by PD-1 inhibitors.

The main toxicities observed in patients who received a DPYD genotype-based dose reduction were anemia, neutropenia, nausea and mucositis but events were primarily grade 1 or 2. Our experience confirms the technical feasibility and the usefulness of DPYD genotyping to reduce the risk of severe FPs toxicities.

These guidelines, rather than a numerical correction of the absolute neutrophil count, suggest a holistic, patient-centered approach aiming at optimizing the management of chronic neutropenic patients and offering valuable and practical guidance to the hematologists for their daily clinical practice. These results suggest no evidence of a difference in efficacy between the two treatments and potentially more favorable safety profile for Lonca compared with Pola

Journal: Venetoclax based regimens in octogenarian CLL patients: efficacy, safety and comparison to BTKi in a multicenter cohort. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 16, 2025 We found that these two treatments were comparable in terms of overall efficacy, barring a higher rate of complete responses with Ven; safety profiles were different among the two groups as BTKi-treated patients had more cardiovascular toxicities (26% vs 4%) and Ven-treated subjects experienced more infectious events (82% vs 49%). Our data points out that Ven-based regimens are safe and effective in octogenarian patients with CLL despite their higher clinical complexity and comorbidity burden and should provide some basis for the design of prospective studies to further evaluate the optimal treatment regimen in this patient population.

(Pubmed Central) - Apr 16, 2025 ICIs combined with standard treatment regimens for patients with advanced HER-2-positive gastric cancer demonstrate favorable clinical efficacy, significantly prolonging PFS with manageable safety. ECOG performance status, peritoneal metastasis, positive PD-L1 expression, and treatment regimen are independent factors influencing PFS, warranting increased clinical attention to patients exhibiting these factors.

(Pubmed Central) - Apr 15, 2025 The combination therapy was manageable in terms of safety and toxicity, with a predictable safety profile. These findings suggest that lenvatinib and eribulin represent a promising treatment strategy for advanced, heavily pretreated solid tumors, warranting further exploration in larger clinical studies.

Low Eif6 levels reduced Tp53 pathway activation but did not rescue neutropenia in Sbds-deficient zebrafish. Further studies elucidating the interplay between SBDS, EIF6, TP53, and cellular stress responses offer promising insights into SDS pathogenesis, somatic genetic rescue, and therapeutic strategies.
