Background: Mixed-phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL) is a rare acute leukemia for which data are currently not available to guide therapy. It has a poor outcome, particularly in elderly patients.

Case Presentation: We report the successful use of venetoclax/azacitidine as treatment for a treatment-naive elderly patient with early T-cell precursor (ETP)/myeloid MPAL.

Introduction: Metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) exhibits significant heterogeneity in molecular profiles, influencing treatment response and patient outcomes. Mutations in v-raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog B1 () and rat sarcoma () family genes are commonly observed in mCRC. Though originally thought to be mutually exclusive, recent data have shown that patients may present with concomitant and mutations, posing unique challenges and implications for clinical management.

Tuberculosis (TB) remains one of the leading causes of infectious disease mortality worldwide, increasingly complicated by the emergence of drug-resistant strains and limitations in existing diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. Despite decades of global efforts, the disease continues to impose a significant burden, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) where health system weaknesses hinder progress. This comprehensive review explores recent advancements in TB diagnostics, antimicrobial resistance (AMR surveillance), treatment strategies, and vaccine development.

Introduction: Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) is a standard first-line treatment for stage IV NSCLC without actionable oncogenic alterations. mutations, prevalent in 30% to 40% lung adenocarcinomas (LUAD) in Western populations, currently lack targeted first-line therapies. This study aimed to assess the predictive value of mutations for clinical outcomes after distinct ICB regimens, validating our previous findings in a larger cohort with extended follow-up.
