Blood-based RNA biomarker for the early detection of ovarian cancer

Prospective evaluation in consecutively enrolled real-world cohorts is required to validate diagnostic performance, predictive value and clinical utility. Tu-stroma showed no systematic elevation across inflammatory or physiologic comparators (n = 116) or nonovarian malignancies (n = 160), each assessed against healthy controls (n = 100), supporting disease-context specificity.

Determinants of response to CAR T cell therapy in a multicenter, multi-trial cohort analysis of patients with lymphoma

The evidence generated by this study has the potential to advance the development of more effective cellular therapies. An inverse correlation was observed between prior lines of therapy and the proportion of naive-like T cells in both product and matched apheresis samples, suggesting a benefit of earlier intervention.
