Bone progression in multiple myeloma: Benefit of zoledronic acid for patients achieving at least Very Good Partial Response and prognostic value of bone turnover markers

British Journal of Haematology, Volume 209, Issue 3, Page 1076-1084, September 2026.
Summary The Magnolia study demonstrated that continuation of zoledronic acid (ZOL) beyond 2 years reduces the risk of progressive bone disease (PBD) in patients with multiple myeloma (MM). This follow‐up study investigated the effects of ZOL in patients achieving very good partial response (VGPR) compared to patients who did not and whether bone ...

Mutational Signature‐Based Biomarker for Phase II Trial of Olaparib Maintenance in Advanced High‐Grade Ovarian Cancer

Cancer Science, Volume 117, Issue 8, Page 2259-2273, August 2026.
A whole‐exome sequencing–based mutational signature biomarker (MSBM) identified an HRD‐enriched population in advanced ovarian cancer. In a phase II trial, olaparib maintenance suggested clinically meaningful PFS benefit without bevacizumab, supporting MSBM as a complementary HRD assessment approach.

Reproducible Data Analysis With R in Laboratory Hematology

International Journal of Laboratory Hematology, Volume 48, Issue 4, Page 757-764, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Laboratory hematology generates large, complex datasets that increasingly exceed the capabilities of traditional spreadsheet‐based analytical workflows. Despite their familiarity, spreadsheets obscure analytical logic, encourage manual data manipulation, and lack durable records of analytical steps, limiting transparency, auditability, and ...
