Latency Period and Age-Specific Patterns of Pleural Mesothelioma Pleural mesothelioma develops after a long delay following asbestos exposure. Researchers call this interval the latency period. Most studies place the average between 20 and 50 years. Many reports put the mean near 40 years for pleural disease. Rare cases appear after only 10 years. Others surface […]

In this article we will discuss Understanding Aneurysmal Bone Cyst (ABC): Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment
Mesothelioma remains difficult to detect at an early stage. Doctors therefore explore blood and fluid-based biomarkers. Three proteins receive special attention. These are mesothelin, fibulin-3 and osteopontin. Each offers useful information for diagnosis and monitoring. Mesothelin appears in high amounts on mesothelioma cell surfaces. The body releases a soluble form into the blood. This form […]
Liquid biopsy analyzes body fluids for cancer-related markers. Researchers apply this method to track mesothelioma progression. The approach avoids repeated invasive tissue biopsies. Therefore, it offers a safer option for patients. Mesothelioma often develops in the lining of the lungs or abdomen. Traditional monitoring relies on imaging and tissue samples. However, these methods have limitations. […]
Sonrotoclax (Beqalzi) Approved as New Treatment for Relapsed Mantle Cell Lymphoma Sonrotoclax is a next-generation BCL2 inhibitor. BeOne Medicines developed it. The drug carries the brand name Beqalzi. The FDA granted it accelerated approval in May 2026. Doctors can now use it for relapsed or refractory mantle cell lymphoma. Patients must have already received at […]
Clinically node-negative oral squamous cell carcinoma poses a treatment challenge. Occult metastases occur in a significant number of patients. Surgeons traditionally perform elective neck dissection to address this risk. Sentinel lymph node biopsy offers a less invasive alternative. It identifies the first draining lymph nodes. Surgeons then examine these nodes for cancer cells. A negative […]
