Article Synopsis
  • * Researchers evaluated the infiltration levels of TLSs and TB through various staining methods and developed a nomogram model to analyze survival data.
  • * The findings revealed that a higher TLS/TB ratio correlated with better overall and relapse-free survival, and the new TLS-TB profile outperformed traditional methods in predicting patient outcomes.

Background: Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) has emerged as a promising biomarker for cancer. However, the current understanding of LDH and circulating LDH expression in thymic epithelial tumour (TET) is lacking.

Methods: A comprehensive literature review and meta-analysis were performed to evaluate the clinical significance of circulating LDH levels in patients with TET.

Background: Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) are important immunological components in response to cancers. Patients with higher numbers of TIL in breast cancerous tissues, comprising T- cytotoxic and T - helper cells along with B- and rare natural killer (NK) cells, have more favorable clinical outcomes.

Objective: To analyze the rate of the expressed surface biomarker proteins of CD20-B cells and CD56- NK cells on the infiltrative lymphocytic subpopulations in a group of breast tumorous tissues (invasive and benign) from female patients in Iraq and explore the relations to the grade of the invasive breast cancerous tissues.

Immunotherapies that target the CD20 protein expressed on most non-Hodgkin lymphoma cells have improved clinical outcomes, but relapse is common. We prepared Ac-labeled anti-CD20 ofatumumab and evaluated its in vitro characteristics and therapeutic efficacy in a murine model of disseminated human lymphoma. Ac was chelated by DOTA-ofatumumab, and radiochemical yield, purity, immunoreactivity, stability, and chelate number were determined.
