Mashup Score: 1People with Lupus Who Have Certain Antibodies Are More Likely to Experience Blood Clots, Researchers Find - 17 day(s) ago
Some patients with lupus who possess specific antibodies are at a higher risk of thrombotic events such as a blood clot, stroke or heart attack, a new study led by Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers shows. The finding might help clinicians determine which patients may need early treatment and clinical monitoring for thrombotic events. Normally, antibodies help protect the body by fighting infections and tumors, but in autoimmune conditions such as lupus, antibodies may go after healthy tissues and

Mashup Score: 14
The study, partly funded by the National Institutes of Health, was published May 22 in Cancer Discovery. Investigators were surprised they could detect cancer-derived mutations in the blood so much earlier, says lead study author Yuxuan Wang, M.D., Ph.D., an assistant professor of oncology at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. “Three years earlier provides time for intervention. The tumors are likely to be much less advanced and more likely to be curable.” To determine how early cancers

Mashup Score: 3HPV Drives Tumor Development in Rare Nasal Cancers - 29 day(s) ago
Human papillomavirus (HPV) can drive tumor development in some rare sinonasal squamous cell carcinomas (SNSCCs), according to a new comprehensive study of these tumors from investigators at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center. The researchers also identified common mutations among these cancers and a potential combination treatment during the study, which was partially supported by the National Institutes of Health. The origin of SNSCCs has been

Baltimore Region: Due to the recent collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge, please anticipate delays when travelling to appointments. More information. Adding a personalized anti-tumor vaccine to standard immunotherapy is safe and about twice as likely to shrink cancer as standard immunotherapy alone for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma, the most common type of liver cancer, according to a clinical trial led by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center and its Convergence Institute.
