Glioblastoma is immunologically "cold" and resistant to single-agent immune-checkpoint inhibitors (ICI). Our previous study of neoadjuvant pembrolizumab in surgically-accessible recurrent glioblastoma identified a molecular signature of response to ICI and suggested that neoadjuvant pembrolizumab may improve survival. To increase the power of this observation, we enrolled an additional 25 patients with a primary endpoint of evaluating the cell cycle gene signature associated with neoadjuvant pembrolizumab and performed bulk-RNA seq on resected tumor tissue (NCT02852655).

Background: Cardiac lymphoma is a rare disease that can present in various ways. Additionally, atypical clinical presentation makes the diagnosis even more challenging. The most common type of cardiac lymphoma is diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

Basal ganglia germinomas are uncommon neoplasms. Basal ganglia germinomas exhibit high sensitivity to both radiation therapy and chemotherapy. In contrast, surgery is the standard treatment for most primary brain tumors (such as gliomas, which are the most common tumors in the pediatric basal ganglia region).

Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) can be used to assess treatment response in patients with undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS). The importance of this is explored in our case of a 75-year-old man who was diagnosed with UPS of the right kidney. After a right nephrectomy and tumor resection, the patient was recovering well with initially undetectable, and then slightly elevated, circulating tumor DNA.

Background: The impact of steroid-sparing immunosuppressive agents (SSIAs) for immune-related adverse events (irAEs) on tumor outcome is not well-known. This systematic review evaluates tumor outcomes for corticosteroid (CS) monotherapy versus CS with SSIA (CS-SSIA) for irAE treatment with a focus on melanoma.
Methods: Search was conducted through 1/5/23 using PubMed, Embase, Cochrane CENTRAL, and Web of Science.
