DOI: 10.1002/ca.23195
Abstract: Nerve biopsies are often the most definitive test for the diagnosis of uncommon neurologic dysfunction. Historically, nontargeted biopsies of distal cutaneous (sensory) nerves (e.g., sural nerve) have been performed widely due to their expendable nature,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/cam4.3276
Abstract: Abstract Liquid biopsy is a promising method in detecting colorectal cancer (CRC). However, previous meta‐analyses only focused on the diagnostic performance of cell‐free DNA (cfDNA). Therefore, we firstly evaluated the overall performance of all liquid… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/cam4.3867
Abstract: The application of positron emission tomography (PET)‐computed tomography (CT) in treatment response evaluation has increased in diffuse large B‐cell lymphoma (DLBCL), although its predictive value is controversial. We retrospectively analyzed the rate of false‐positive PET‐CTs… read more here.
