Diagnostic performance of the DISQVER metagenomic sequencing tool for the identification of pathogens in febrile neutropenic patients: the ADNEMIA trial by Geneviève Héry-Arnaud, Christophe Burucoa, Marie Kempf, David Boutoille, Yohann Foucher, Philippe Lanotte, Maxime Pichon, Stéphane Corvec, Cécile Le Brun, Helene Pailhories

“…Introduction While intensive protocols in onco-haematology have improved survival rates for patients with haematological malignancies, they have also resulted in an increased incidence of infection associated with therapy-induced immunosuppression (including chemotherapy-induced febrile neutropenia; FN). The occurrence of FN, associated with high morbidity and mortality, necessitates broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy, occasioning delayed chemotherapy and resulting in a loss of opportunity for the patient. …”

Optimal Treatment for Intermediate- and High-Risk, Nonmuscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer by A.P.M. van der Meijden

“…The prognosis is determined by the likelihood of recurrence(30-70%) and/or progression to muscle invasive bladder cancer(1-15%).Trans urethral resection of bladder tumors remains the initial therapy but adjuvant intravesical instillations are necessary.All patients benefit from a single immediate post operative instillation with a chemotherapeutic agent and for low risk tumors this is the optimal therapy.Patients with intermediate and high risk tumors need more intravesical chemo-or immunotherapy. Chemotherapy reduces recurrences but not progression. …”
