Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy Combined With Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors in Unresectable Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Comprehensive Single-Arm Meta-Analysis Approach

Am J Clin Oncol. 2026 Jun 22. doi: 10.1097/COC.0000000000001341. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTOBJECTIVES: In locally advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) are the frontline regimen, but the benefit of stereotactic body radiation (SBRT) in combination is unclear. Given randomized evidence for survival benefit with SBRT plus sorafenib, we performed a systematic review and … Read more

Novel avian papillomaviruses identified in a south polar skua sampled on Ross Island, Antarctica

Arch Virol. 2026 Jun 16;171(7):213. doi: 10.1007/s00705-026-06671-9. ABSTRACT Papillomaviruses are small circular DNA viruses that infect epithelial cells of their hosts. Avian papillomaviruses are poorly sampled/documented compared to those infecting humans. We used a viral metagenomic approach to identify viruses from the oral swab taken from a deceased south polar skua (Stercorarius maccormicki) found at … Read more

Four lineages of adenoviruses identified in raptors sampled in Spain

Virology. 2026 Jun 7;623:110990. doi: 10.1016/j.virol.2026.110990. Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT Adenoviruses infect a wide range of vertebrate species from fish to humans, including an especially large number of avian species. This study utilized viral metagenomic workflow coupled with targeted PCR to identify and characterize adenoviruses from cloacal swabs collected from 50 black kites (Milvus … Read more

Diverse anelloviruses identified in wild geladas (Theropithecus gelada)

Arch Virol. 2026 Jun 4;171(7):199. doi: 10.1007/s00705-026-06651-z. ABSTRACT Anelloviruses are circular single stranded DNA viruses that are highly prevalent among humans and other mammal and avian hosts, with persistent infections enduring throughout the lifespan without causing disease. Investigating these viruses in non-human primate hosts can offer a phylogenetic perspective on anellovirus-primate evolutionary dynamics, and studying … Read more
