Abstract

Key challenges in the management of spondyloarthritis focus on the lack of availability of measures of disease activity and the inability to predict joint damage or response to treatment, which is expensive and associated with potentially serious toxicity. Recent studies have focused on the possible contribution of soluble biomarkers, which have been selected based on current understanding of their role in inflammation and/or their association with turnover of joint matrix. Emerging candidates for disease activity markers include interleukin-6 and soluble cytotoxic T lymphocyte associated molecule-4. Potential predictors of damage include metalloproteinase-3 and sclerostin. Acute-phase reactants C-reactive protein and serum amyloid A and interleukin-6 are currently the best predictors of treatment response. Significant study limitations are small sample size and the lack of multivariate analyses that can determine whether the biomarker contributes information that is independent of other clinical and laboratory variables used in routine care.

Mehr Lebenszeit mit Abemaciclib bei fortgeschrittenem Brustkrebs?

24.05.2024 Mammakarzinom Nachrichten

In der MONARCHE-3-Studie lebten Frauen mit fortgeschrittenem Hormonrezeptor-positivem, HER2-negativem Brustkrebs länger, wenn sie zusätzlich zu einem nicht steroidalen Aromatasehemmer mit Abemaciclib behandelt wurden; allerdings verfehlte der numerische Zugewinn die statistische Signifikanz.

ADT zur Radiatio nach Prostatektomie: Wenn, dann wohl länger

24.05.2024 Prostatakarzinom Nachrichten

Welchen Nutzen es trägt, wenn die Strahlentherapie nach radikaler Prostatektomie um eine Androgendeprivation ergänzt wird, hat die RADICALS-HD-Studie untersucht. Nun liegen die Ergebnisse vor. Sie sprechen für länger dauernden Hormonentzug.

„Überwältigende“ Evidenz für Tripeltherapie beim metastasierten Prostata-Ca.

22.05.2024 Prostatakarzinom Nachrichten

Patienten mit metastasiertem hormonsensitivem Prostatakarzinom sollten nicht mehr mit einer alleinigen Androgendeprivationstherapie (ADT) behandelt werden, mahnt ein US-Team nach Sichtung der aktuellen Datenlage. Mit einer Tripeltherapie haben die Betroffenen offenbar die besten Überlebenschancen.

So sicher sind Tattoos: Neue Daten zur Risikobewertung

22.05.2024 Melanom Nachrichten

Das größte medizinische Problem bei Tattoos bleiben allergische Reaktionen. Melanome werden dadurch offensichtlich nicht gefördert, die Farbpigmente könnten aber andere Tumoren begünstigen.
