Upper gastrointestinal (GI) cancers are often undetected until late stages, leading to a poor prognosis. Treatment may be delayed or inappropriately assigned due to a lack of robust biomarker testing. To optimize patient outcomes, oncology clinicians…
Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) treatment options and management strategies are evolving, and the multiplicity of near- and long-term clinical manifestations makes diagnosis and management of the disease complex. The development of plexiform neurofibromas (PNs) further negatively…

The treatment paradigm in bladder cancer has fundamentally changed over the past decade, and the evolving, dense clinical trial landscape has given rise to barriers to optimizing patient care. This Community Connections Grand Rounds series will…
In the United States, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) has an incidence rate of 5.5-7.2 per 100,000 individuals, and a death rate of 1.7 per 100,000. Despite its prevalence, integrating the necessary diagnostic and prognostic markers…
Despite advancements in the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL) and mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), resistance and recurrence occur frequently and mutations might develop during treatment. Given the diverse range of treatment side effects,…
Peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCLs) are a diverse collection of non-Hodgkin lymphomas that make treatment and patient-centered care challenging and highlight the need for targeted therapies based on molecular and genetic profiling to enhance treatment efficacy and…
Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK/STAT) pathway inhibition is the standard of care for patients with symptomatic myelofibrosis (MF); however, a significant number of hematologists/oncologists lack knowledge, competence, and confidence about JAK inhibitors (JAKis)…
Patients with triple negative and HR-positive/HER2-negative breast cancer have limited treatment options after the development of endocrine resistance. This dearth of options is particularly acute for Black women and other marginalized patients, and results in treatment…
