Right heart thrombus with pulmonary embolism tied to poor survival, ICU admission
Clinical presentation is more severe and survival much lower among patients with right heart thrombus and pulmonary embolism, who also require more advanced therapies, compared with those without a concomitant pulmonary embolism, a study has found. Thrombus mobility and size contribute to the development of concomitant pulmonary embolism.

Pyrotinib plus trastuzumab-docetaxel prolongs PFS in breast cancer
Treatment with pyrotinib in combination with trastuzumab and docetaxel (tras/doc) results in longer progression-free survival (PFS) than placebo combined with tras/doc in patients with untreated HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer, a study has shown. In addition, the safely profile of tras/doc plus pyrotinib is manageable.
