Optimization of older adults by a geriatric assessment-guided multidisciplinary clinic before CAR T-cell therapy.

AbstractThe optimal means of assessing candidacy of older adults (≥65 years) for chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy are unknown. We explored the role of a geriatric assessment (GA)-guided multidisciplinary clinic (GA-MDC) in selecting and optimizing older adults for CAR-T. Sixty-one patients were evaluated in a GA-MDC (median age, 73 years; range, 58-83). A nonbinding recommendation ("proceed" or "decline") regarding suitability for CAR-T was provided for each patient based on GA results. Fifty-three patients ultimately received CAR-T (proceed, n = 47; decline, n = 6). Among pati

Brazilian consensus for diagnosis, management and treatment of hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis with peripheral neuropathy: second edition.

Hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis with peripheral neuropathy (ATTRv-PN) is an autosomal dominant inherited sensorimotor and autonomic polyneuropathy with over 130 pathogenic variants identified in the TTR gene. Hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis with peripheral neuropathy is a disabling, progressive and life-threatening genetic condition that leads to death in ∼ 10 years if untreated. The prospects for ATTRv-PN have changed in the last decades, as it has become a treatable neuropathy. In addition to liver transplantation, initiated in 1990, there are now at least 3 drugs approved in many

Extracellular RNA in melanoma: Advances, challenges, and opportunities.

Melanoma, a malignant mass lesion that originates in melanocytes and has a high rate of malignancy, metastasis, and mortality, is defined by these characteristics. Malignant melanoma is a kind of highly malignant tumor that produces melanin and has a high mortality rate. Its incidence accounts for 1%-3% of all malignant tumors and shows an obvious upward trend. The discovery of biomolecules for the diagnosis and treatment of malignant melanoma has important application value. So far, the exact molecular mechanism of melanoma development relevant signal pathway still remains unclear. According

Extracellular Vesicles in Multiple Myeloma-Cracking the Code to a Better Understanding of the Disease.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a plasma cell-derived malignancy that stands for around 1.5% of newly discovered cancer cases. Despite constantly improving treatment methods, the disease is incurable with over 13,000 deaths in the US and over 30,000 in Europe. Recent studies suggest that extracellular vesicles (EVs) might play a significant role in the pathogenesis and evolution of MM. Further investigation of their role could prove to be beneficial in establishing new therapies and hence, improve the prognosis of MM patients. What is more, EVs might serve as novel markers in diagnosing and monitorin

PubMed, PsycINFO, Web of Science, and Cochrane databases were systematically searched from inception to June 2021. Search term was "anxiety" combined using the Boolean "AND" operator with "medically ill/c

Paediatric Gliomas: BRAF and Histone H3 as Biomarkers, Therapy and Perspective of Liquid Biopsies.

Paediatric gliomas categorised as low- or high-grade vary markedly from their adult counterparts, and denoted as the second most prevalent childhood cancers after leukaemia. As compared to adult gliomas, the studies of diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers, as well as the development of therapy in paediatric gliomas, are still in their infancy. A body of evidence demonstrates that B-Raf Proto-Oncogene or V-Raf Murine Sarcoma Viral Oncogene Homolog B (BRAF) and histone H3 mutations are valuable biomarkers for paediatric low-grade gliomas (pLGGs) and high-grade gliomas (pHGGs). Various diagnostic

Novel Treatment Strategies Utilizing Immune Reactions against Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia Stem Cells.

Introduction of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) has improved the prognosis of patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), and treatment-free remission (TFR) is now a treatment goal. However, about half of the patients experience molecular relapse after cessation of TKIs, suggesting that leukemic stem cells (LSCs) are resistant to TKIs. Eradication of the remaining LSCs using immunotherapies including interferon-alpha, vaccinations, CAR-T cells, and other drugs would be a key strategy to achieve TFR.

Feasibility of Long-term Proteasome Inhibition in Multiple Myeloma by in-class Transition From Bortezomib to Ixazomib.

BACKGROUND: The ongoing US MM-6 study is investigating in-class transition (iCT) from parenteral bortezomib-based induction to all-oral IRd (ixazomib-lenalidomide-dexamethasone) with the aim of increasing proteasome inhibitor (PI)-based treatment adherence and duration while maintaining patients' health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and improving outcomes. PATIENTS AND METHODS: US community sites are enrolling non-transplant-eligible patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM) with no evidence of progressive disease after 3 cycles of bortezomib-based therapy to receive IRd (up to 39

Aspects of vincristine-induced neuropathy in hematologic malignancies: a systematic review.

PurposeVincristine is widely used as anticancer therapy for a variety of hematological malignancies. The treatment is limited by progressive vincristine-induced neuropathy, possibly including both peripheral sensory and motor nerves, autonomic nervous functions, and the central nervous system. This dose-limiting side-effect can diminish quality of life and, furthermore, cause discontinuation of vincristine treatment. The present review elucidates the current knowledge regarding vincristine-induced neuropathy in hematologic malignancies, focusing on neuropathy assessment, clinical and molecular

A clinical prediction model for outcome and therapy delivery in transplant-ineligible patients with myeloma (UK Myeloma Research Alliance Risk Profile): a development and validation study.

BACKGROUND: Tolerability of treatments for multiple myeloma can depend on the characteristics of the patient being treated. We aimed to develop and validate a risk profile, using routinely collected data, that could predict overall survival in patients with multiple myeloma who were ineligible for stem-cell transplantation. METHODS: We used patient data from two randomised controlled trials done in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who were ineligible for stem-cell transplantation (the NCRI Myeloma XI study [NCRI-XI, n=1852] and the MRC Myeloma IX study [MRC-IX, n=520]), to devel

Emerging treatment options for the management of Hodgkin's lymphoma: clinical utility of nivolumab.

Classical Hodgkin's lymphoma (cHL) is a B-cell malignancy comprised of pathologic Reed Sternberg cells with a surrounding immune-tolerant inflammatory milieu. RS cells evade immune recognition in part through programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) overexpression, which is genetically programmed through copy number alterations, polysomy, and amplification of the 9p24.1 locus encoding PD-L1. By engaging with PD-1+ T-cells, PD-L1 delivers a potent immune suppressive signal promoting immunologic escape of the tumor cell. Enhancing antitumor immune response by targeting PD-1 with the monoclonal antibody

Actinium-225 targeted alpha particle therapy for prostate cancer.

Targeted alpha particle therapy (TAT) has emerged as a promising strategy for the treatment of prostate cancer (PCa). Actinium-225 (225Ac), a potent alpha-emitting radionuclide, may be incorporated into targeting vectors, causing robust and in some cases sustained antitumor responses. The development of radiolabeling techniques involving EDTA, DOTA, DOTPA, and Macropa chelators has laid the groundwork for advancements in this field. At the forefront of clinical trials with 225Ac in PCa are PSMA-targeted TAT agents, notably [225Ac]Ac-PSMA-617, [225Ac]Ac-PSMA-I&T and [225Ac]Ac-J591. Ongoing inve

Curcumin as a promising therapeutic agent for diabetic neuropathy: from molecular mechanisms to functional recovery.

Diabetes mellitus is an endocrine disorder characterized by prolonged hyperglycemia. It results from either insulin deficiency (type 1 diabetes mellitus, T1DM) or insulin resistance (type 2 diabetes mellitus, T2DM). This condition has emerged as a significant health concern in recent years. Hyperglycemia induces the overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which can modulate multiple pathways, including AGEs-RAGE, PKC stimulation, NF-κB and PI3K/AKT. These pathways contribute to diabetes-related complications such as inflammation, oxidative stress, insulin resistance, and reduced gluco

The Arrhythmic Burden of Cardiac Amyloidosis: A Comprehensive Review.

Cardiac amyloidosis (CA) represents a growing etiology of heart failure (HF) and arrhythmogenesis, driven by the intramyocardial deposition of aberrantly folded proteins, notably immunoglobulin light chains (AL) and transthyretin (ATTR). This infiltrative process compromises myocardial compliance and disrupts the cardiac conduction system, leading to a diverse spectrum of dysrhythmias. The escalating prevalence of CA, particularly within geriatric demographics and individuals with plasma cell dyscrasias, underscores the imperative for refined diagnostic and therapeutic paradigms. The considera

The emerging role of osteoclasts in the treatment of bone metastases: rationale and recent clinical evidence.

The occurrence of bone metastasis is a grave medical concern that substantially impacts the quality of life in patients with cancer. The precise mechanisms underlying bone metastasis remain unclear despite extensive research efforts, and efficacious therapeutic interventions are currently lacking. The ability of osteoclasts to degrade the bone matrix makes them a crucial factor in the development of bone metastasis. Osteoclasts are implicated in several aspects of bone metastasis, encompassing the formation of premetastatic microenvironment, suppression of the immune system, and reactivation o
