Diagnostics World | A new subtype of Castleman disease has been identified, the first such major discovery in 45 years. While it remains unclear how many individuals stand to benefit, this is a “hugely important” development for the proportion of patients who fit neither the “unicentric” nor “multicentric” criteria long used to describe the symptoms and disease experience.
