Pembrolizumab ± paricalcitol in metastatic pancreatic cancer postmaximal cytoreduction.
Oncologist
January 2025
HonorHealth Research Institute, Scottsdale, AZ, United States.
Lessons Learned: Intravenous paricalcitol did not improve the efficacy of pembrolizumab, likely related to the short half-life.
Background: Immunotherapy has limited benefit in the treatment of advanced pancreatic cancer with the tumor microenvironment playing a key role in immune resistance. In preclinical studies, vitamin D receptor (VDR) agonists have been shown to sensitize pancreatic tumors to PD-1 blockade.
Antifungal susceptibility testing and determination of local epidemiological cut-off values for species isolated from women with vulvovaginal candidiasis.
Microbiol Spectr
January 2025
Clinical Microbiology Laboratory, "Attikon" University General Hospital, Medical School, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Athens, Greece.
The lack of clinical breakpoints and epidemiological cut-off values (ECOFFs) for antifungals prescribed for vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) make interpretation of antifungal susceptibility data difficult. This leads to empirical prescribing, poor clinical management and emergence of resistance. The susceptibilities of 152 , 105 , 31 and 8 VVC isolates against eight antifungals, were determined according to the European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST) E.

Transplantation
January 2025
Institut d'Investigacions Biomèdiques August Pi i Sunyer (IDIBAPS), Barcelona, Spain.
Background: Female recipients of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation are at high risk of developing human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated lesions and (pre)cancer. We describe the results of a cervical cancer screening program in these women.
Methods: From 2010 to 2022, 70 female recipients of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in our institution entered a standardized protocol of gynecological evaluation.
Pericardial effusion cytology: malignancy rates, patterns of metastasis, comparison with pericardial window, and genomic correlates.
J Am Soc Cytopathol
December 2024
Department of Pathology, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts. Electronic address:
Introduction: Cytologic evaluation of pericardial fluid is essential for diagnosing malignant pericardial effusions secondary to metastatic disease and for guiding appropriate clinical management; however, large cohort and up-to-date studies on malignancy rates and distribution of primary tumor sites is lacking.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective analysis of pericardial fluid specimens from 2 large academic medical centers over a 10-year period was conducted. Clinical and specimen characteristics were correlated with cytologic diagnoses, and compared with surgical pathology pericardial specimens when available.
Detection of cervical precancerous lesions and cancer by small-scale RT-qPCR analysis of oppositely deregulated mRNAs pairs in cytological smears.
Front Oncol
January 2025
AO Vector-Best, Novosibirsk, Russia.
Background: Cervical screening, aimed at detecting precancerous lesions and preventing cancer, is based on cytology and HPV testing. Both methods have limitations, the main ones being the variable diagnostic sensitivity of cytology and the moderate specificity of HPV testing. Various molecular biomarkers are proposed in recent years to improve cervical cancer management, including a number of mRNAs encoded by human genes involved in carcinogenesis.
