    Anna Azvolinsky, PhD, is a freelance medical and science journalist based in New York City. Clonal hematopoiesis (CH) is relatively common, with up to 15% of adults age 60 and older estimated to have one of two CH conditions: CH of indeterminate potential (CHIP) and clonal cytopenia of undetermined significance (CCUS). The rate of diagnosis of these two conditions is steadily increasing. CH is associated with an increased risk of developing myeloid blood cancers but, for most patients, this risk is

    A new Endocrine Society guideline details how to treat adult patients with hypercalcemia of malignancy, the most common metabolic cancer complication. Despite its high morbidity and mortality rates, this is the very first guideline that directly addresses this condition and confirms the efficacy of denosumab and bisphosphonates. Adults with hypercalcemia of malignancy should be treated…

    Thyroid nodules are common, usually asymptomatic, and often pose minimal risk to the affected patient. However, 10–15% prove malignant and serve as the rationale for diagnostic assessment. Safely identifying and treating a relevant thyroid cancer through a cost-effective process is the primary goal of the treating practitioner. Ultrasound is the principal means of initial nodule assessment and…
