Impact of Co‐Morbid Immunocompromise in HPV‐Associated Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Among patients with surgically resected Human Papillomavirus positive (HPV+) oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC), immunocompromised patients had significantly worse overall survival compared to the non‐compromised group; however, these exploratory findings should be interpreted cautiously.

Mucosal‐Associated Invariant T Cells in Health and Disease
The roles of MAIT cells in health and disease and their therapeutic applications. In healthy individuals, riboflavin metabolites secreted by commensal bacteria at mucosal sites are presented by MR1, leading to the activation of MAIT cells. Activated MAIT cells can maintain the barrier integrity of mucosal tissues in a steady state or migrate to the ...

Reduced colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor expression in myeloid cells has limited impact on chronic lymphocytic leukaemia progression. [PDF]
Summary Targeting the colony‐stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R) to remove tumour‐associated macrophages is being explored as cancer therapy. This strategy may be relevant for chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL), which strongly depends on support from myeloid cells.

Muscle Strength and Power Changes With Gender‐Affirming Hormone Therapy
ABSTRACT Background Androgen receptors are highly expressed in upper body muscles, but changes in maximal muscle strength and power in major upper body muscles have not been investigated during gender‐affirming hormone therapy (GAHT). Objective To assess prospective changes in maximal muscle strength and muscle power from before and after 1 year of ...

To Treat or Not to Treat: Navigating Early‐Stage CLL in the Era of Targeted Therapy
ABSTRACT Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is most frequently diagnosed at early, asymptomatic stages (Rai 0/Binet A), in which a watch‐and‐wait strategy remains the standard of care, based on historical trials demonstrating no overall survival benefit from early treatment.

ABSTRACT Background Bloodstream infections remain a major cause of mortality among cancer patients. Pathogen surveillance and risk stratification tools are key to improved management. This study describes trends in causative pathogens and explores risk factors for positive blood cultures (PBCs) and post‐infection mortality in cancer patients.

Effects of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL)-directed therapy on diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) type Richter transformation compared to de novo DLBCL in a nationwide cohort. [PDF]
Summary Diffuse large B‐cell lymphoma (DLBCL) type Richter transformation (DLBCL‐RT) in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) has a worse prognosis compared to de novo DLBCL (dnDLBCL). We investigated outcomes of patients with DLBCL‐RT with or without previous CLL‐directed therapy compared to dnDLBCL between 2002 and 2022.

Weird, Witty and Worthwhile: Exploring the Benefits of Mnemonic‐Based Medical Education
ABSTRACT Background Mnemonics, both self‐created and well established, are commonly used by medical students to boost their recall of knowledge. Previous studies have evaluated mnemonics' utility in medical education, but few have demonstrated positive effects on students' knowledge and confidence.
