Increased levels of human leukocyte antigen G (HLA-G) were associated with inferior overall survival.

Because clinical trials do not mimic the real-world application of multiple myeloma treatments, Ajai Chari, MD, discussed the variety of patient factors clinicians should consider in their practice.

The continued success of abelacimab throughout the AZALEA-TIMI 71 trials helps draw the drug closer to FDA approval, stated Sid Patel, MD.

The future of treating metabolic dysfunction–associated steatohepatitis (MASH) looks brighter than ever, says Naim Alkhouri, MD, as data emerges on newly developed interventions.

Even with prevention measures and timely, aggressive intervention, tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) remains life-threatening, as a case study in small cell lung cancer (SCLC) illustrates.
