Remission after CAR T-cell therapy: Do lymphoma patients recover a normal life?

Chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CAR T cells) can induce prolonged remission in a substantial subset of patients with relapse/refractory lymphoma. However, little is known about patients' life after CAR T-cell therapy. We prospectively assessed the multidimensional recovery of lymphoma patients in remission, before leukapheresis, before CAR T-cell infusion, and 3, 6, and 12 months thereafter. Validated tools were used to measure lymphoma-related and global health-related quality of life (HRQoL; Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Lymphoma [FACT-Lym] and EQ-5D-5L), cognitive complaint (FA

Patient-reported pain severity and health-related quality of life in patients with multiple myeloma in real world clinical practice.

BACKGROUND: The association between patient self-reported pain severity and health-related quality-of-life (HRQoL) is poorly understood. AIMS: This real-world study of symptomatic multiple myeloma (MM) patients sought to determine how pain severity from a single question asked during routine clinical consultation was associated with HRQoL. METHODS AND RESULTS: Point-in-time data on HRQoL of 330 patients with MM (median age 70 years) receiving anti-myeloma therapy in Germany and Italy from November 2017 through February 2018 were analyzed. HRQoL was assessed using validated questionnaires (Wo

Perceptions and Experiences of Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation Patients During the COVID-19 Pandemic.

ObjectivesSince March 2020, the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 pandemic has affected the global community, but poses unique challenges for individuals with cancer. Patients diagnosed with hematologic malignancies undergo aggressive therapies followed by hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) as a potential curative treatment. HCT recipients can be immunocompromised for extended periods of time, and even pre-pandemic, transplant patients reported depression and anxiety due to restrictions and infection prevention measures they had to adhere to as part of transplant precaution

Prevalence of anaemia and associated factors among geriatric population from rural Mangalore: a cross-sectional study.

BackgroundAnaemia is a major public health problem in all age groups. Anaemia in elderly individuals may result in several adverse health outcomes, including functional dependence and increased risk of therapeutic complications, falls, dementia, and death. Anaemia is often overlooked as symptoms such as weakness, fatigue, shortness of breath etc., are also associated with ageing. Hence, early detection of anaemia in elderly individuals is necessary to prevent delays in diagnosing potentially treatable conditions.MethodsThis community-based cross-sectional study aimed to estimate haemoglobin le

Review and update on drugs related to the development of osteonecrosis of the jaw.

BACKGROUND: Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a rare, but serious adverse effect of certain drugs, of which bisphosphonates are the most widely known. This pathology is also associated with other medications such as the biologic antiresorptive agent, denosumab and some antiangiogenics such as sunitinib, bevacizumab or aflibercept. Very recently, new medications have also been associated with osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ). The objectives were to update the list of medications associated with ONJ, to analyze the fundamental aspects of this list and to describe the level of

How the COVID-19 Pandemic Reshaped the Management of Leukemia and Affected Patient Outcomes.

Opinion statementThe coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic has posed numerous challenges to the global healthcare system. Of particular gravity is adult and pediatric patients with hematologic malignancies who are among the most vulnerable groups of patients at risk of severe COVID-19 outcomes. In the early phases of the pandemic, several treatment modifications were proposed for patients with leukemia. Largely speaking, these were adopting less-intense therapies and more utilization of the outpatient setting. Over time, our understanding and management have become more nuanced. Furthermo

Nurses' Perspectives on the Non-Pharmacological Management of Oral Mucositis in Onco-Hematological Care: A Qualitative Content Analysis.

Background/Objectives: Oral mucositis (OM) is a common complication in onco-hematological patients undergoing chemotherapy and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, negatively affecting comfort, nutrition, and quality of life. Despite existing assessment tools and recommendations, OM management-particularly non-pharmacological approaches-remains inconsistent, and evidence on nurses' perspectives and contextual factors is limited. This study explored nurses' perceptions and experiences regarding non-pharmacological treatments for OM, including educational needs and barriers and facilitators

Bispecific Antibodies in Hematologic Malignancies in the Outpatient and Community Settings.

Bispecific antibodies (BsAbs) are novel antitumor agents that simultaneously engage tumor-associated antigens with CD3 on endogenous effector T cells, leading to cancer cell death. The immune-mediated toxicity rates associated with BsAbs are considerably lower than those seen with CAR T-cell therapy. Hence, widespread utilization of BsAb products in outpatient and community settings will allow greater and more homogeneous access and thus improve patient outcomes. In this review, we discuss the unique toxicities associated with BsAbs currently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration a

Adequate assessment yields appropriate care-the role of geriatric assessment and management in older adults with cancer: a position paper from the ESMO/SIOG Cancer in the Elderly Working Group.

With the aging population, older adults constitute a growing proportion of the new cancer cases. Given the heterogeneous health status among older adults and their susceptibility to aging-related vulnerabilities, understanding their diversity and its implications becomes increasingly crucial for prognostication and guiding diagnostics, treatment decisions, and follow-up, as well as informing supportive care interventions. Geriatric assessment and management (GAM) refers to the comprehensive evaluation of an older individual's health status with subsequent management plans focusing on both onco

Contextualizing Measurement: Establishing a Construct and Content Foundation for the Assessment of Cancer-Related Dyadic Efficacy.

This paper illustrates a rigorous approach to the initial phases of scale development when evaluating an existing construct, dyadic efficacy, in a new population. Cancer-related dyadic efficacy represents a couples' confidence in their conjoint abilities to manage the effects of cancer. Two samples of individuals diagnosed with cancer and their partners, along with a professional panel, contributed lay and content expertise, respectively. Thematic analysis was used to describe cancer-related dyadic efficacy and identify content domains. Cancer-related dyadic efficacy was conceptualized as mult

Efficacy of expressive helping in adult hematologic cancer patients undergoing stem cell transplant: protocol for the Writing for Insight, Strength, and Ease (WISE) study's two-arm randomized controlled trial.

BackgroundDuring, shortly after, and sometimes for years after hematopoietic stem cell transplant, a large proportion of hematological cancer patients undergoing transplant report significant physical and psychological symptoms and reduced health-related quality of life. To address these survivorship problems, we developed a low-burden, brief psychological intervention called expressive helping that includes two theory- and evidence-based components designed to work together synergistically: emotionally expressive writing and peer support writing. Building on evidence from a prior randomized c
