Background: Managing stage IV thymoma with pleural spread or recurrence remains a complex clinical challenge. While complete resection is considered essential for achieving long-term survival, its feasibility and outcomes vary. Inspired by surgical strategies used in malignant pleural mesothelioma, we applied a multimodal approach combining extensive thymectomy, cytoreductive lung-preserving pleurectomy/decortication, and intraoperative photodynamic therapy (PDT) to enhance local control and survival outcomes.

With upfront use of triplet- and quadruplet-based regimens coupled with autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) and maintenance lenalidomide, a high proportion of multiple myeloma (MM) patients are achieving deep and durable responses. Yet, myeloma invariably relapses, with refractoriness to one or more drugs at first relapse. This therapeutic gap has been partially filled by T-cell engager (TCE) therapies that have demonstrated remarkable response rates and prolonged remissions in heavily pretreated patients with MM, providing off-the-shelf immunotherapy options leading to the U.

Background: Optimal endocrine therapy for premenopausal breast cancer patients after chemotherapy requires accurate menopausal status assessment. Current methods for determining resumption of ovarian function after chemotherapy are suboptimal. This study aims to evaluate the predictive value of pretreatment anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) serum levels for predicting resumption of ovarian function after chemotherapy (CT).
