Thrombocytopenia Prevalence in Acute Cancer-Associated Thrombosis Patients

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a common complication in patients with cancer, with thrombosis being the second leading cause of death among outpatients undergoing chemotherapy. Thrombocytopenia is also a common complication in patients with cancer, either due to the underlying malignancy or toxicity of cancer-directed therapy. More...

Noninvasive Prenatal Test Diagnoses Hemolytic Disease of Fetus and Newborn

A new fetal antigen single-gene non-invasive prenatal test (sgNIPT) for pregnant patients who are alloimmunized with C, c, D, E, Duffy (Fya), or Kell (K) red blood cell (RBC) antibodies looks for the presence of the genetic variants that code for the corresponding fetal antigens. More...

Inherited Genetic Variants Increase Risk of Hodgkin Lymphoma

Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is a type of lymphoma, in which cancer originates from a specific type of white blood cell called lymphocytes, where multinucleated Reed–Sternberg cells (RS cells) are present in the patient's lymph nodes. Symptoms may include fever, night sweats, and weight loss. Often, nonpainful enlarged lymph nodes occur in the neck, under the arm, or in the groin. More...
