📅 PUBMED DAILY TRIAGE — 2026-10-23

Window: 2026-10-22T09:00:00Z → 2026-10-23T09:00:00Z (CRDT) Topics scanned: 9 watchlist + 1 sentinel | Articles reviewed: ~100 candidates across topics | Kept: 23 High priority: 3 | Standard: 20 | Low/archive: 0 | Unsolicited finds: 1 Run status: PARTIAL_SUCCESS (T3/T4/T5/T6/T7/T8 partially reviewed; T1/T2/T9 complete)


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

Early Cancer Detection (liquid biopsy, ctDNA, cfDNA)

PMID-42908017 · Early and accurate detection of ovarian cancer by profiling cell-free mitochondrial DNA fragmentomics in multi-ethnic population · 9/10 · 🔴 EARLY_CANCER_DETECTION Novel ccf-mtDNA fragmentomics ML model achieves AUC 0.987 and 91.67% Stage I sensitivity at 95% specificity across multi-ethnic, multi-center validation cohorts — one of the strongest liquid biopsy results yet for early ovarian cancer detection. (Genome Med; Guo X et al.)

Hematologic Malignancies (AML, MDS, CLL, MPN, lymphoma)

PMID-42902921 · Patient-specific genomic measurable residual disease markers for monitoring AML and myeloid malignancy · 9/10 · 🟢 NEAR_TERM_IMPLEMENTABLE Patient-specific PCR-MRD assays from WGS/NGS succeeded in 97.6% of myeloid malignancy patients in a multi-center Australian prospective study, with higher sensitivity than ALL MRD and outcome correlation — directly closes the gap in universal AML MRD monitoring. (Br J Haematol; Huang L et al.)

PMID-42906182 · Glofitamab with polatuzumab vedotin in relapsed/refractory central nervous system lymphomas · 4/10 → HIGH · 🟠 NOVEL_TREATMENT 100% ORR and 89% CR in n=9 r/r CNS lymphoma patients (including Burkitt and TP53-mutant MCL) with rapid CSF clearance — striking results in a uniformly fatal condition; single-center retrospective so flagged HIGH by NOVEL_TREATMENT rather than score. (Blood Adv; Lopedote P et al., City of Hope)

💡 UNSOLICITED FINDS

PMID-42905121 · Role of allogeneic HSCT in adults with mature T-cell lymphomas · 7/10 · Systematic Review (Cochrane Database) Found via sentinel scan; matches Hematologic Malignancies watchlist. Cochrane-level evidence synthesis on allo-HSCT for mature T-cell lymphomas — highest design quality available for this rare, evidence-poor malignancy group. Scored and reported under hematologic malignancies.
