Aortic Endograft Infection After COVID-19: A Single-Centre Case Series and a Proposed Descriptive Clinical–Radiological PET/CT Staging Framework

Background: Aortic endograft infection (AEI) after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) is rare but life-threatening. The Management of Aortic Graft Infection Collaboration (MAGIC) criteria define infection, but there is no standard way to report the extent of infection. We descri...

Immunohistochemistry for c-MET, HLA class II, and CD68 does not show prognostic value in early-stage classic Hodgkin lymphoma patients in the EORTC-GELA H9 intergroup randomised trial

Background In classic Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL), identifying high-risk patients is crucial for tailored treatment. Clinical risk factors are useful, but there is room for improvement. Although many diagnostic tissue-based biomarkers have been described to correlate with prognosis, n...
