The largest study to date (N=1.13M❗️) on the prognostic value of HER2-low expression is out on @JAMAOnc. With an HR 0.98 & overlapping OS curves, HER2-low confirms not to be a relevant predictor of prognosis. Congrats to the authors for this huge analysis! https://t.co/nW5ZvIxSX0

AML is associated with a particularly poor prognosis with up to 40% having refractory disease. This is thought to be due, in part, to the high degree of heterogeneity within the disease as well as the persistence of cancer stem cells within the population. @KMirza #pathology

APL is characterized by the accumulation of granulocytes and promyelocytes with the presence of Auer rods. Diagnosis is made via FISH indicating a 15;17 translocation with quick initiation of all-trans retinoic acid to avoid the development of DIC. @KMirza #pathology

Well known to be critical for organ transplants, HLA typing is also crucial for new cancer therapies that employ adoptive T-cell transfer as some TCRs are HLA-restricted. Thus, only patients w/ a specific HLA will reap the anti-cancer benefits. @KMirza #pathology #twitterhomework
