Global chronic lymphocytic leukemia incidence and mortality is declining, but the disease’s prevalence has increased modestly.

New research shows patients commonly take lower doses of nintedanib, and the majority are also taking immunomodulatory drugs.

In real-world usage, 97% of cases of cytokine release syndrome following treatment with lisocabtagene maraleucel happened within 15 days of infusion.

TAM receptors could emerge as promising therapeutic targets for rheumatoid arthritis, offering insights into immune regulation and potential treatment strategies.

Patients with elevated levels of multiple adipokines had the highest risk, the authors found.

New research comparing the safety profiles of the 2 multiple sclerosis therapies suggests ocrelizumab is associated with lower rates of all-cause hospitalization and hypogammaglobulinemia.

Combining genetic features with clinical data improved the performance of a pulmonary fibrosis prediction score for people with rheumatoid arthritis.

Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapies, along with bispecific antibodies, have changed the treatment paradigm for patients with relapsed or refractory mantle cell lymphoma.

A new analysis based on two prospective trials helps clarify the roles of chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

Immunoglobulin heavy chain variable is an important prognostic biomarker in chronic lymphocytic leukemia, but the authors of a new review say its role has yet to be fully understood.

The causes of financial hardship among people with rheumatoid arthritis are not necessarily based on the cost of disease-modifying therapies, according to new research.

Only about 2% of cases of rhabdomyosarcoma primarily arise from the chest wall, and such cases require careful planning.

An RNA-based therapeutic approach led to transient activation of telomerase activity in a model of pulmonary fibrosis.

Nerandomilast slowed disease progression at 2 doses compared with placebo among US participants in the trial.

The study underscores the importance of repeat testing in cases where myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein immunoglobulin G tests are borderline.

Though patients with type 2 diabetes or chronic kidney disease (CKD) face a greater risk of heart failure (HF) following acute myocardial infarction (AMI), patients without those comorbidities also benefit from empagliflozin.

Real-world data suggest metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease is also associated with higher all-cause mortality.

Previous research has evaluated PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy in patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC), but research in the setting of limited-stage disease is sparse.

Radiomic assessment has been used to distinguish multiple sclerosis from similar disorders, and it might also be useful in identifying MS stages and subtypes.

A new analysis suggests links between ZRSR2 loss and JAK2 V617R disease progression are indirect and complex.

Cardiac adverse events were lower among patients taking zanubrutinib compared with ibrutinib in the real-world setting.

New reporting suggests obesity and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) have shared genetic risk factors.

Multidrug combinations may counteract the role of cytokines in drug resistance, a new review article explains.

Treatment options for patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC) who survive to a third line of therapy are insufficient, authors of a new study argue.

Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists improved disease activity, body weight, and cholesterol in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

Questions remain related to which patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) benefit most from radiotherapy and at what dose.

LAG-3 expression appears to be significantly elevated in patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC).

Atomic force microscopy successfully identified nanomechanical changes in fibrotic lung tissue.

A Mendelian randomization study suggests Actinomyces plays a role in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, mediated by circulating inflammatory proteins.

Nanopore sequencing of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) may be a particularly good fit in under-resourced areas due to its lower cost and smaller laboratory footprint.
