    Abstract Purpose of review: Recent advances the genomic profiling of patients with Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM) have led to the identification of novel therapeutic targets in these patients. In this review, we cover the current standard of care and the recently evaluated novel approaches with high potential to be incorporated in the therapeutic armamentarium against WM.

    Abstract Purpose of review: Approximately one half of the patient-population in multiple myeloma (MM) is > 70 years at diagnosis. Despite notable strides in the management and improved survival, MM remains incurable, with an increasing proportion of elderly patients comprising the relapsed-refractory cohort.
    Recent findings: The arbitrary age cutoff at 65 years to define the elderly patient-population has evolved to a more nuanced categorization, incorporating a comprehensive assessment for determining frailty prior to commencing treatment. This step is critical in determining the therapy-intensity, including transplant-eligibility, to minimize toxicity. Dose-modifications are crucial, as the merits of continuous therapy are becoming evident in this patient-population. Bortezomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone (VRd) combination has emerged as standard of care for newly diagnosed MM. Fixed-duration Rd followed by reduced-dosed continuous R may be considered in select frail patients with standard-risk MM. Herein, we review the unique challenges encountered in elderly MM and discuss strategies for optimal management.

    Abstract Introduction: Proteasome inhibitors (PIs) have been an integral part of treatment for multiple myeloma (MM) over the past decade. Many newer PIs are being evaluated in pre-clinical and clinical setting, with an aim to improve the safety, efficacy and resistance profile of this class of drugs. Ixazomib is the first oral PI with a robust efficacy and favorable safety profile in MM. Areas covered: This review provides an overview of the (i) pharmacology and dosing of ixazomib, (ii) the efficacy and safety data from clinical studies, (iii) highlight the various novel combinations that have been reported, and (iv) give an overview of the ongoing studies with ixazomib. The review aims to provide a broad overview of the drug and compare and contrast it with the currently available alternatives. Expert commentary: The oral formulation of ixazomib makes it unique in the sense that it is an integral part of the only currently approved oral triplet for relapsed/refractory MM that incorporates both a PI and an immunomodulatory agent. The clinical efficacy, ease of administration, tolerability and synergy with other drug classes make ixazomib a valuable arsenal in the increasingly widening therapeutic armamentarium against MM.

    Abstract Thyroid nodules are classified into six cytological categories under the Bethesda classification system. Two of these categories, atypical of undetermined significance (AUS) and suspicious for a follicular neoplasm (SFN), are further labeled as "indeterminate" diagnosis. Starting in June, 2012, Kansas University-Wichita Endocrine clinic implemented Afirma® Gene Expression Classifier (AGEC) to evaluate the need for surgical resection of thyroid nodules in patients with an indeterminate diagnosis. Electronic medical records of patients who underwent thyroid nodule fine-needle aspiration from 2004-2014 were reviewed. The aim of this study was to find whether implementing AGEC was associated with decreased surgical recommendation rate, decreased cost, and increased incidence of thyroid malignancy diagnosed by surgery in patients with indeterminate diagnosis. A total of 299 consecutive patients' charts were screened. Sixty-one (20 %) patients had an indeterminate diagnosis. Out of these, 27 (44 %) patients underwent evaluation before and 34 (56 %) patients underwent evaluation after AGEC implementation, respectively. Surgical recommendation for patients with indeterminate finding decreased from 81.5 to 50 % (p = 0.01) after AGEC implementation. Surgical pathology was read as malignant in 20 and 85.7 % (p < 0.01) of patients before and after AGEC implementation, respectively. Primary cost-benefit estimate showed implementing AGEC has saved $1048/patient in medical evaluation and initial management of patients with indeterminate diagnosis. AGEC implementation has decreased the number of surgical recommendations, has lowered financial burden, and has increased incidence of thyroid malignancy diagnosed by surgical pathology in patients with indeterminate diagnosis of thyroid nodules.
