Abstract

Magnetic resonance imaging radiomics shows promise in guiding the selection of patients most likely to benefit from the use of immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy in patients with very‐high‐risk, nonmuscle‐invasive bladder cancer. This work arrives at a moment of rapid expansion in bladder‐sparing therapeutics, even as biomarker‐guided patient selection remains conspicuously absent across the field.

Beyond Major Pathologic Response in Lung Cancer: Biomarkers Predict Outcomes.

Neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy improves outcomes in resectable non-small cell lung cancer, yet pathologic response incompletely predicts durability of benefit. Spatial profiling using resected tumors and lymph nodes revealed distinct immune subtypes and identified a gene signature associated with improved outcomes, pro...
