A Canadian Perspective on Systemic Therapy for Recurrent or Metastatic Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma by Anna Spreafico, Eric Winquist, Cheryl Ho, Brian O’Sullivan, Nathaniel Bouganim, Neil Chua, Sarah Doucette, Lillian L. Siu, Desiree Hao

“…Management of patients with recurrent or metastatic (r/m) NPC who are not candidates for local salvage therapy is challenging in Canada, as there is uncertainty in extrapolating evidence that is largely generated from Southeast China to non-endemic regions such as Canada. Currently, treatment options in Canada are limited to chemotherapy regimens that can only achieve short-term response and prolongation of survival. …”

Post‐Artesunate Delayed Hemolysis: Anything That Can Go Wrong Will Go Wrong—Murphy's Law by Beliza Chemutai, Muhammed Omar Ali, Jaimin Vinod Varsani, Derrick Bary Abila, Denis Can Odonga, Paska Apiyo, Felix Bongomin

“…ABSTRACT In patients presenting with post‐malarial anemia following intravenous artesunate treatment, post‐artesunate delayed hemolysis should be considered in the differential diagnosis, even in endemic settings. Close monitoring for signs of delayed hemolysis in patients previously treated with intravenous artesunate for severe malaria, regardless of their malaria exposure history or geographic location is crucial.…”
