Molecular monitoring of therapeutic milestones and clinical outcomes in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia
ConclusionsTimely molecular assessment at 3 months and 12 months appears to benefit patients with CML. Adherence to timely monitoring should be encouraged, especially in low ‐volume treatment centers. (Source: Cancer)

Loss of ATRX/DAXX expression and alternative lengthening of telomeres in uterine leiomyomas
ConclusionsThese results highlight the differences between conventional and histopathologically atypical ULs and indicate that some UL subtype tumors may harbor long ‐term malignant potential. (Source: Cancer)

The antitumor effects of entinostat in ovarian cancer require adaptive immunity
CONCLUSIONSIn the current murine ovarian cancer model, entinostat treatment enhances beneficial immune responses. Moreover, these antitumor effects of entinostat are dependent on an intact immune system. Future studies combining entinostat with checkpoint inhibitors or other immunomodulatory agents may achieve more durable antitumor responses in patients with ovarian cancer. (Source: Cancer)

Isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 and 2 mutations, 2 ‐hydroxyglutarate levels, and response to standard chemotherapy for patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia
ConclusionsAmong patients withIDH1/2‐mutated AML, 2HG levels are highly specific for the mutational status at diagnosis, and they have prognostic relevance in patients receiving standard chemotherapy. (Source: Cancer)

The association between Medicare accountable care organization enrollment and breast, colorectal, and prostate cancer screening
ConclusionsSmall ‐magnitude reductions were observed in breast and prostate cancer screening rates, and a small increase was observed in colorectal cancer screening associated with ACO enrollment. Although ACO enrollment does not appear to drive wholesale changes in cancer screening, small differences may map to m eaningful changes in the epidemiology of screen‐detected cancers among Medicare beneficiaries.
