Artificial intelligence (AI) could revolutionize cancer diagnostics by improving accuracy, efficiency, and workflow, while also handling tedious tasks. However, its adoption will depend on the technology and accessibility at individual institutions and practices. “AI will ever replace pathologists [or oncologists], but it's the next new technology that pathologists will employ to help them make better, more accurate diagnoses,” Stuart J. Schnitt, MD, said in an interview with Targeted Oncology.
AlloHeme Enhances Early Relapse Detection in AML and MDS Post-Transplant

Braunstein, MD, PhD, FACP, discussed the significant advancements in multiple myeloma treatment at the 2024 American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting and Exposition, highlighting the efficacy of daratumumab (Darzalex) in combination therapies, chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy’s high minimal residual disease (MRD)–negativity rates and extended remissions, and what these advancements mean for treatment in 2025.
Ruxolitinib Plus Standard Prophylaxis Lowers GVHD Risk in Myelofibrosis

Feb 17, 2025 | cancernetwork.com | Dylann Cohn-Emery

Data presented at the 2025 Tandem Meeting from a phase 2 study indicate that ruxolitinib (Jakafi), when combined with standard graft-vs-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis, significantly lowers the risk of developing acute and chronic GVHD without sacrificing survival benefit in patients with myelofibrosis undergoing hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT).
Ruxolitinib Shows Promise in Preventing GVHD in Myelofibrosis

Feb 14, 2025 | targetedonc.com | Dylann Cohn-Emery

Adding ruxolitinib (Jakafi) to standard graft-vs-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis reduced incidence of acute and chronic GVHD while maintaining survival rates in patients with myelofibrosis undergoing hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT), according to data presented at the 2025 Transplantation & Cellular Therapy Meetings.1 The phase 2 prospective study (NCT04384692) conducted at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center showed grade II to IV acute GVHD occurred in 32% of patients receiving...

Peers & Perspectives in Oncology: What is the impact of the current telehealth policies for patients with cancer? PONCE: The impact is enormous. The adoption of it was very quick. Before, in the pre–COVID-19 era, we barely had patients seen through telehealth. And then when COVID-19 hit us, we decided to get creative with how to see our patients.
Lisaftoclax Plus Pd Demonstrates Strong Response and Safety in RRMM

Dec 10, 2024 | targetedonc.com | Dylann Cohn-Emery

The combination of lisaftoclax (APG-2575) plus pomalidomide (Pomalyst) and dexamethasone (Pd) showed favorable overall response rate (ORR), extended duration of response (DOR), and notable safety in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM), according to a presentation at the 2024 ASH Annual Meeting.1In patients receiving lisaftoclax/Pd for RRMM, there was an ORR of 63.9% in 36 patients treated across multiple dose levels.
