False Positive Cardiotoxicity Events in Cancer-Related Clinical Trials: Risks Related to Imperfect Noninvasive Parameters
Conclusion: A 3.60% false positive rate in trials where the expected level of toxicity is low suggests that false positives are troubling and may exceed true positive results. Strategies to reduce the number of false positive results include making confirmatory studies mandatory. Evaluating increases along with decreases obtains some estimation of variance.Chemotherapy 2018;63:324 –329 (Source: Chemotherapy)

Overexpression of TEL-MN1 Fusion Enhances Resistance of HL-60 Cells to Idarubicin
Conclusion: Taken together, our results indicated that TEL-MN1 fusion is an oncogene involved in the leukemogenesis process and TEL-MN1 overexpression enhanced resistance of HL-60 cells to idarubicin, which may provide a useful tool for studying the mechanism of leukemogenesis and drug resistance.Chemotherapy 2018;63:308 –314 (Source: Chemotherapy)
