Abstract Over the last two decades, the frontline therapy for mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) has evolved. However, the impact of subsequent lines of therapy on survival outcomes has not been well characterized. In this study, we investigated the treatment patterns and survival outcomes in patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) MCL treated with second-line (2 L) therapy. Adult […]

Patients and study design This was a single-center, prospective trial. We prospectively enrolled patients who were diagnosed with gastric neoplasms (including adenoma and adenocarcinoma) through endoscopic and histological diagnosis, and who were referred to our hospital for treatment. Patients were enrolled as consecutive cases in this study to eliminate selection bias. Written informed consent was […]

At present, there is limited clinical understanding regarding the incidence, histogenesis, treatment, and prognosis of this disease. In this report, […]

Introduction The ETV6::PDGFRB fusion gene is commonly associated with myeloid neoplasms with monocytosis (such as CMML), and with eosinophilia.1 The PDGFRB gene, located on 5q33, encodes PDGFRβ, a type III tyrosine kinase comprising an extracellular domain consisting of five immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domains, a single-transmembrane helix domain, a juxtamembrance domain, and an intracellular tyrosine kinase domain.2 […]

Introduction Hepatobiliary cancers (HBCs) —including hepatocellular carcinoma, intra- and extra-hepatic cholangiocarcinoma, and gallbladder cancer— represent more than 5% of all new cancers worldwide, constituting the third cause of death.1,2 A considerable proportion of patients are diagnosed in advanced stages (17.9% for liver and intrahepatic bile duct cancer and 44.3% for gallbladder cancer) with a lack […]
