CDKN2A is a tumor suppressor located in chromosome 9p21 and frequently lost in Barrett's esophagus (BE) and esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). How CDKN2A and other 9p21 gene co-deletions affect EAC evolution remains understudied. We explored the effects of 9p21 loss in EACs and cancer progressor and non-progressor BEs with matched genomic, transcriptomic and clinical data.

  • - Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma is a rare B-cell lymphoma that can affect various organs, and patients with Sjögren's syndrome (SjS) have significantly higher risks of developing it.
  • - A case study is presented of primary thymic MALT lymphoma found incidentally during routine chest imaging, alongside cystic lung disease, primarily observed in women with SjS.
  • - Imaging techniques revealed a large mass in the mediastinum and numerous pulmonary cysts; the diagnosis was confirmed via biopsy, and treatment improved lung function, emphasizing the link between SjS and MALT lymphoma's lung manifestations.

Background: Vaccination against 5 prominent meningococcal serogroups (A/B/C/W/Y) is necessary for broad disease protection. We report immunopersistence through 4 years after a 2-dose (6-month interval) pentavalent MenABCWY primary vaccine series and safety and immunogenicity of a booster administered 4 years after primary vaccination.

Methods: This randomized, active-controlled, observer-blinded study was conducted in the United States and Europe.
