First new subtype of Castleman Disease discovered in 45 years
A newly identified subtype of Castleman disease will help diagnose and properly treat thousands of patients who have been caught between existing classification systems, marking the first major discovery of its kind in 45 years. 'Oligocentric Castleman Disease' (OligoCD) has been found to be a distinct clinical entity, different from the two previously identified classifications of Castleman Disease. The findings redefine the understanding of this rare immune disorder that affects an estimated 4,300 to 5,200 Americans.
