Journal, Checkpoint inhibition, Microsatellite instability, PD(L)-1 Biomarker, IO biomarker: Failure of immune checkpoint inhibitors for microsatellite instability-positive pancreatic adenocarcinoma with atypical pattern of short tandem repeat mutation. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 23, 2024 Here, we report the case of a patient with pancreatic adenocarcinoma, with confirmed MSI by two independent next-generation sequencing tests, but not by routine methods, who had progression on pembrolizumab. Comparison of the patient's MSI loci patterns with MSI+ colorectal adenocarcinoma samples showed a lower fraction of unstable loci, low resolution of a second peak in the repeat length spectrum of unstable short tandem repeats in the patient's sample, and a lower length of indels (3.7 vs 4.5 base pairs, p

Journal: ABO-incompatible kidney transplantation using immunoadsorption columns: First experiences in South Africa. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 23, 2024 Despite the poor prognosis of these overlap syndromes, current recommendations offer little guidance for severe cases and warrant a call for increased awareness and expansion of available therapeutics. Glycosorb ABO IA is an effective technique in enabling ABO-incompatible living-donor kidney transplants to be performed successfully in a South African setting.

Journal: A case report of hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis induced by toripalimab plus chemoradiotherapy in cervical cancer. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 23, 2024 Considering the possibility of HLH is needed in patients receiving ICIs to detect rare toxicities at an early stage when the patient develops uncontrollable fever, cytopenia, and splenomegaly, our multidisciplinary treatment modality contributed to the early diagnosis and successful management of HLH, avoiding progressive tissue damage and organ failure. Whether glucocorticoids are used alone or not for immune-associated HLH needs further investigation.

(Pubmed Central) - Jul 22, 2024 P1b/2 Three-year outcomes of patients with MSI-H were better than those of patients with MSS. PD-L1 positivity, elevated CD8/eTreg ratio, and high expression of Ki-67, CTLA-4, and PD-1 could be positive predictors of prognosis in patients with MSS.
