Clinical Translation of Patient‐Derived Organoids: Perspectives for Personalized Therapy in Cancer

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Patient‐derived organoids (PDO) are accelerating precision medicine. These biological platforms allow for the autologous in vitro expansion of material from cancer patients in a considerably short period of time. These three‐dimensional models can faithfully recapitulate aspects of tissue heterogeneity, architecture, and relevant cellular ...

Flow Cytometry‐Guided Diagnosis of Cortical T‐Lymphoblastic Lymphoma Presenting With a Massive Mediastinal Mass and Borderline Bone Marrow Involvement

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background T‐cell lymphoblastic lymphoma (T‐LBL) and T‐cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T‐ALL) are considered a single biological entity, distinguished primarily by the extent of bone marrow infiltration. This distinction becomes diagnostically challenging in patients with borderline marrow blast counts and predominantly extramedullary ...
