Mashup Score: 7
Aggressive B-cell lymphoid malignancies, including acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) and high-grade non-Hodgkin lymphoma, often resist conventional therapies (i.e., chemotherapy, B-cell targeting immunotherapy, or hematopoietic stem cell transplantation). The poor outcomes of patients with refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) [1] or B-cell ALL [2] highlight the need for more efficient therapies. Chimeric antigen receptor-T (CAR-T) cells have reshaped the care landscape for refractory B-cell malignancies [3,4], significantly improving response rates and overall survival.

Mashup Score: 14Modifiable fall risk factors among older adults with advanced cancer: Secondary analysis of a cluster-randomized clinical trial - 2 year(s) ago
Older adults with cancer have unique fall risk factors related to their disease and treatment such as polypharmacy and neurotoxic treatments. In this secondary analysis, we identified modifiable risk factors associated with future falls among older adults with advanced cancers.
