CXCL13 plus interleukin 10 is highly specific for the diagnosis of CNS lymphoma

TLDR
It is demonstrated for the first time that elevated CXCL13 concentration in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is prognostic and that CXC chemokine ligand and IL-10 mediate chemotaxis of lymphoma cells isolated from CNS lymphoma lesions.

STAT6 activation correlates with cerebrospinal fluid IL-4 and IL-10 and poor prognosis in primary central nervous system lymphoma.

TL;DR: It is shown that tumor expression of activated STAT6 correlates with cerebral spinal fluid levels of its activator interleukins, IL-4 and IL-10, suggesting their potential use as surrogate biomarkers of JAK/STAT activation in patients with PCNSL.

The potential for CXCL13 in CSF as a differential diagnostic tool in central nervous system infection.

TL;DR: Differences in study design, control groups and clinical parameters between studies, however, affect sensitivity, specificity and cutoff values, underlining the need of further studies to address these issues and pave the way for a generalized clinical practice.

STAT3 Activation Is Associated with Interleukin-10 Expression and Survival in Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma.

TL;DR: The results indicate that STAT3 activation is closely related to IL-10 expression and that p-STAT3 may be a novel biomarker predicting poor survival in PCNSL.

Receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) plots: a fundamental evaluation tool in clinical medicine.

TL;DR: Receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) plots provide a pure index of accuracy by demonstrating the limits of a test's ability to discriminate between alternative states of health over the complete spectrum of operating conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Basic principles of ROC analysis

TL;DR: ROC analysis is shown to be related in a direct and natural way to cost/benefit analysis of diagnostic decision making and the concepts of "average diagnostic cost" and "average net benefit" are developed and used to identify the optimal compromise among various kinds of diagnostic error.

Revised response criteria for malignant lymphoma

TL;DR: New guidelines incorporating PET, IHC, and flow cytometry for definitions of response in non-Hodgkin's and Hodgkin's lymphoma are presented and it is hoped that they will be adopted widely by study groups, pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, and regulatory agencies to facilitate the development of new and more effective therapies to improve the outcome of patients with lymphoma.

A Polycistronic MicroRNA Cluster, miR-17-92, Is Overexpressed in Human Lung Cancers and Enhances Cell Proliferation

TL;DR: Findings clearly suggest that marked overexpression of the miR-17-92 cluster with occasional gene amplification may play a role in the development of lung cancers, especially in their most aggressive form, small-cell lung cancer, and that the C13orf25 gene may well be serving as a vehicle in this regard.

Report of an International Workshop to Standardize Baseline Evaluation and Response Criteria for Primary CNS Lymphoma

TL;DR: An international group of experts meeting to review current standards of reporting and to formulate a consensus opinion regarding minimum baseline evaluation and common standards for assessing response to therapy hope that these guidelines will improve communication among investigators and comparability among clinical trials in a way that will allow to develop better therapies for patients.
