🔴🟠 HIGH PRIORITY (8+) — Best Finds by Topic

Novel Therapeutics: Immunotherapy / CAR-T | Hematologic Malignancies

TR-2026-05-18-001 / PMID 42144261 · Clinical outcomes and spatial transcriptomic profiles of CD19/20 CAR-T therapy in relapsed or refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma · 8/10 🟠 NOVEL_TREATMENT
Phase I/II (n=32 R/R B-NHL): bispecific CD19/20 CAR-T achieved 74% ORR, 58% CR, mOS 22.1 months; spatial transcriptomics identified two tumor architectures predicting durable vs partial responses — a meaningful step toward pre-treatment patient stratification for CAR-T.

Early Cancer Detection (cfDNA / Liquid Biopsy) | AI/ML in Diagnostics

TR-2026-05-18-002 / PMID 42143451 · Semantic inductive graph-based diagnostics: A category-aware NLP-GCN framework for robust cancer detection via cfDNA end-motif and fragmentation analysis · 8/10 🔴 EARLY_CANCER_DETECTION
Validation cohort of 2,451 plasma samples; GCN+BiLSTM (SIGD) framework achieved AUROC 0.967 pan-cancer and 0.998 for HCC via cfDNA fragmentation patterns; inductive design enables real-time inference without per-cohort retraining.
