Head and neck paragangliomas (HNPGLs) are rare neoplasms that, along with pheochromocytomas and extra-adrenal paragangliomas, are associated with inherited mutations in at least 12 susceptibility genes in approximately 40% of cases. However, due to the rarity of HNPGLs, only a series of small-scale studies and individual cases have reported mutations in additional genes that may be involved in tumorigenesis. Consequently, numerous disease-causing mutations and genes responsible for the pathogenesis of HNPGLs remain poorly investigated.

Patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (ND-AML) derive variable survival benefit from venetoclax + hypomethylating agent (Ven-HMA) therapy. The primary objective in the current study was to develop genetic risk models that are predictive of survival and are applicable at the time of diagnosis and after establishing treatment response. Among 400 ND-AML patients treated with Ven-HMA at the Mayo Clinic, 247 (62%) achieved complete remission with (CR) or without (CRi) count recovery.

Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) is an aggressive subtype of peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) characterized by its T-follicular helper (TFH) phenotype. Relapsed and refractory disease is common in AITL and often associated with a poor prognosis. The presence of epigenetic abnormalities, immune dysregulation, hyperinflammation and active angiogenesis in AITL offers potential targets for histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors and immunomodulatory drugs (IMiDs).

Background: Isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) gene alterations and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) treatment results remain controversial. This study reviews the literature on IDH mutations in AML to determine the foundation of individualized therapy and improve effectiveness, survival time, and recurrence rate.
Methods: Seven English and 2 Chinese databases were searched for literature on IDH mutations and AML outcomes.

In addition to the histological diagnosis, grade and stage, predictive testing plays a crucial role in gastrointestinal tumours today. This is mainly used to identify molecular targets for modern cancer therapy. In esophageal and gastric cancers, HER2 expression and amplification, mismatch repair (MMR) system protein deficiency and PD-L1 expression are tested routinely.
