Overview

Michael Pfreundschuh was affiliated with Saarland University in Germany. Their research primarily focused on medicine, with a substantial number of publications addressing pathology and forensic medicine, oncology, immunology, genetics, and radiology, nuclear medicine, and imaging.

The scientist's main research topics included lymphoma diagnosis and treatment, chronic lymphocytic leukemia research, CNS lymphoma diagnosis and treatment, immune cell function and interaction, medical imaging techniques and applications, CAR-T cell therapy research, and viral-associated cancers and disorders.

Their recent published papers included the following:

  • Alemtuzumab plus CHOP versus CHOP in elderly patients with peripheral T-cell lymphoma: the DSHNHL2006-1B/ACT-2 trial (2020, Leukemia)
  • Lymphocyte predominant cells detect Moraxella catarrhalis-derived antigens in nodular lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin lymphoma (2020, Nature Communications)
  • FDG PET/CT to detect bone marrow involvement in the initial staging of patients with aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma: results from the prospective, multicenter PETAL and OPTIMAL>60 trials (2021, European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging)
  • Identification of the atypically modified autoantigen Ars2 as the target of B-cell receptors from activated B-cell-type diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (2020, Haematologica)
  • VEGFR2 and VEGFA polymorphisms are not associated with an inferior prognosis in Caucasian patients with aggressive B-cell lymphoma (2020, European Journal Of Haematology)

Frequent co-authors included Lorenz Thurner, Dominic Kaddu-Mulindwa, Moritz Bewarder, Gerhard Held, and Marita Ziepert.

The scientist published regularly in venues such as Haematologica, eJHaem, Leukemia, Nature Communications, and the European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging.
