MET and NF2 alterations confer primary and early resistance to first‐line alectinib treatment in ALK‐positive non‐small‐cell lung cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Alectinib resistance in ALK+ NSCLC depends on treatment sequence and EML4‐ALK variants. Variant 1 exhibited off‐target resistance after first‐line treatment, while variant 3 and later lines favored on‐target mutations. Early resistance involved off‐target alterations, like MET and NF2, while on‐target mutations emerged with prolonged therapy.

Single Test‐Based Diagnosis and Subtyping of Pulmonary Hypertension Caused by Fibrosing Mediastinitis Using Plasma Metabolic Analysis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Pulmonary hypertension caused by fibrosing mediastinitis has a five‐year survival rate of just 56%. Current diagnostic approaches are complex for patients with mobility limitations and can lead to misdiagnoses due to their nonspecific clinical features.

Recurrent pleural effusion

Journal of the Belgian Society of Radiology, 2010
A 42-year-old lady was referred for investigation of recurrent right pleural effusions over a six month period. A computed Tomography (CT) was requested to outrule an underlying malignancy. The patient had a known history of chronic renal failure, for which she was treated with peritoneal dialysis for the pre - vious four years.

Single‐Cell Sequencing‐Guided Annotation of Rare Tumor Cells for Deep Learning‐Based Cytopathologic Diagnosis of Early Lung Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study presents an innovative method to generate high‐quality, objectively annotated cytology datasets without relying on expert involvement. Large‐scale single‐cell DNA sequencing is used as an objective ground truth of cell annotation for generating an accurate, unbiased dataset of exfoliated tumor cells from bronchoalveolar lavage cytology ...
