Biological Age, Aging Clocks, and the Interplay with Lymphoid Neoplasms: Mechanisms and Clinical Frontiers.

Lymphoid neoplasms (LN), a diverse group of malignancies arising from lymphocytes, exhibit a striking increase in incidence with chronological age, suggesting a deep connection with the aging process. While chronological age remains a primary risk factor, the concept of biological age, reflecting an individual's physiological state and susceptibility to age-related diseases, offers a more nuanced understanding of this relationship. Aging clocks, particularly epigenetic clocks based on DNA methylation, provide quantitative measures of biological age and have revealed associations between accele

Влияние социально-экономического статуса на клиническое представление множественных миелом.

Влияние социально-экономического положения на диагностику, лечение и результаты рака изучается на протяжении нескольких десятилетий. Во многих миеломах многие авторы изучают последствия нищеты и социального неравенства, измеряемые такими показателями, как место жительства, число жителей, род занятий, доходы и образование, распространенность, стадия и лечение заболевания и выживание, с противоречивыми результатами. Цель этого исследования заключалась в том, чтобы амбитивно проанализировать связь между социально-экономическим положением и клиническими характеристиками множественной миеломы в ход

Artificial Neural Network Prediction of Mortality in Cancer Patients Presenting for Radiation Therapy at a Multisite Institution.

IntroductionFor many decades, the management of cancer has utilized radiation therapy, which continues to evolve with technology to improve patient outcomes. However, despite the standardization of treatment plans and the establishment of best clinical practices based on prospective, randomized trials and adherence to National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines, the outcomes from radiation therapy are highly variable and dependent on a number of factors, including patient demographics, tumor characteristics/histology, and treatment parameters. In this study, we attempt to use avail

Multimodal imaging diagnosis of multiple myeloma with renal involvement: a case report.

BackgroundExtramedullary renal involvement secondary to multiple myeloma (MM) is extremely rare and prone to preoperative misdiagnosis. Its clinical and imaging manifestations have not been systematically summarized, leading to frequent preoperative misdiagnosis. To summarize the multimodal imaging characteristics and clinical diagnostic value of MM with renal involvement through a typical case report, so as to improve the understanding and early recognition rate of this disease.Case presentationA 67-year-old male patient with left lumbodorsal pain was examined by multimodal imaging. Ultrasoun

Back pain as an initial feature of advanced gastric cancer mimicking multiple myeloma: A case report and literature review.

BackgroundBack pain is a rare initial presentation of gastric cancer. Isolated back pain with red flags in middle-aged patients might indicate multiple myeloma. However, it is rarely present in advanced gastric adenocarcinoma; hence, data are limited to case reports only. For a timely diagnosis of the underlying malignancy, endoscopy should be considered if the initial workup for this backache is unrevealing.Case presentationWe present a 34-year-old previously healthy gentleman with severe unremitting backache. He was ultimately diagnosed with gastric adenocarcinoma stage IV and received palli

Clinical and economic burden associated with graft-versus-host disease following allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation in France.

The real-world clinical and economic burden of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation has not been comprehensively studied in France. Clinical outcomes, healthcare resource utilization and costs associated with acute GVHD (aGVHD), chronic GVHD (cGVHD), acute plus chronic GVHD (a+cGVHD) versus no GVHD were compared using French administrative claims data. After propensity score matching, 1934, 408, and 1268 matched pairs were retained for the aGVHD, cGVHD, and a+cGVHD cohorts, respectively. Compared with patients with no GVHD, odds of devel

Assessment of adherence to the guidelines for the management of nausea and vomiting induced by chemotherapy.

ObjectiveTo assess adherence of the prescribing physicians in a private cancer care center to the American Society of Clinical Oncology guideline for antiemetic prophylaxis, in the first cycle of antineoplastic chemotherapy.MethodsA total of 139 chemotherapy regimens, of 105 patients, were evaluated retrospectively from 2011 to 2013.ResultsWe observed 78% of non-adherence to the guideline rate. The main disagreements with the directive were the prescription of higher doses of dexamethasone and excessive use of 5-HT3 antagonist for low risk emetogenic chemotherapy regimens. On univariate analys

Localized Breast Amyloidosis Associated with Sjörgren Syndrome.

Sjörgren syndrome is a systemic autoimmune disease that is rarely associated with amyloid deposits, and in most reported cases, these deposits are localized to a single organ. Amyloidosis of the breast is a rare and unexpected finding, and only 5 case series with 63 patients have been published in the past 40 years. To date, only 6 cases have been reported in which Sjörgren syndrome is associated with amyloid deposits in the breast. A 61-year-old female diagnosed with Sjörgren syndrome underwent a breast needle core biopsy for calcifications. Microscopic examination revealed amyloid deposits i

The choice of new treatments in autoimmune hemolytic anemia: how to pick from the basket?

Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) is defined by increased erythrocyte turnover mediated by autoimmune mechanisms. While corticosteroids remain first-line therapy in most cases of warm-antibody AIHA, cold agglutinin disease is treated by targeting the underlying clonal B-cell proliferation or the classical complement activation pathway. Several new established or investigational drugs and treatment regimens have appeared during the last 1-2 decades, resulting in an improvement of therapy options but also raising challenges on how to select the best treatment in individual patients. In severe w

Antifungal prophylaxis in chemotherapy-associated neutropenia: a retrospective, observational study.

BackgroundIn August 2002, the antifungal prophylaxis algorithm for neutropenic hematology/oncology (NHO) patients at the Medical Center was changed from conventional amphotericin (AMB) to an azole (AZ) based regimen (fluconazole [FLU] in low-risk and voriconazole [VOR] in high-risk patients). The aim of our study was to compare outcomes associated with the two regimens, including breakthrough fungal infection, adverse drug events, and costs.MethodsAdult, non-febrile, NHO patients who received prophylactic AMB from 01 August 2001-30 July 2002 or AZ from 01 August 2002-30 July 2003 were retrospe

High-Dose Continuous Infusion Ifosfamide as Effective Palliation in a Patient With Relapsed Ewing Sarcoma With Bone Marrow Infiltration and Severe Thrombocytopenia: A Case Report.

BackgroundEwing sarcoma is a rare primary mesenchymal tumor of the bone that requires an intensive multimodal therapeutic approach. Multidrug chemotherapy regimens are also the backbone for relapsing/recurring Ewing sarcoma treatment, yet when the disease relapses as bone marrow infiltration, combination chemotherapy might be difficult to administer and prognosis is poor.CaseThis report describes the case of a 22-year-old patient with Ewing sarcoma who developed severe pancytopenia due to bone marrow infiltration, and who was treated with high-dose continuous infusion ifosfamide, obtaining bot

Long-term health outcomes in older recipients of blood or marrow transplantation: a report from the BMTSS.

AbstractLittle is known about the long-term health and well-being of older (≥60 years) patients who received blood or marrow transplant (BMT), a growing population at risk for late-occurring morbidity and mortality. This study included ≥2-year survivors (N=1581) who underwent BMT between 1990 and 2014 at age ≥60 years. Severe/life-threatening and fatal chronic health conditions were identified using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events. Multivariable regression analysis compared the risk of severe/life-threatening health conditions and health status between survivors and 594 age-matc

Epigenetic therapy in myeloproliferative neoplasms: evidence and perspectives.

The classic Philadelphia chromosome-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), which include polycythaemia vera, essential thrombocythaemia and primary myelofibrosis, originate from a stem cell-derived clonal myeloproliferation that manifests itself with variable haematopoietic cell lineage involvement; they are characterized by a high degree of similarities and the chance to transform each to the other and to evolve into acute leukaemia. Their molecular pathogenesis has been associated with recurrent acquired mutations in janus kinase 2 (JAK2) and myeloproliferative leukemia virus oncogene

Одиссей моноколональных гаммопатий: сосредоточен на прекурсорах и переходе от MGUS и SMM к нескольким Myeloma, с кратким обзором новых терапевтических стратегий.

Моноклональные гаммопатии охватывают континуум от моноклональной гаммопатии неопределенного значения (MMUS) и заморозки нескольких миелом (SMM) до открытой множественной миеломы (MM). Эта постепенная клональная эволюция обусловлена первичными цитогенетическими повреждениями, вторичными геномными явлениями и эпигенетической реконструкцией в допустимой микроокружающей среде костного мозга. Традиционные биомаркеры (коэффициенты сыворотки М-протеина и свободных световых цепей) обеспечивают полезную, но неполную прогнозную информацию, поскольку они не отражают пространственной неоднородности или вр

COVID-19 in Patients With Hematologic Malignancies: A Single Center Retrospective Study.

Initial studies that described the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) reported increased morbidity and mortality in patients with cancer. Of this group, patients with hematologic malignancies (HM) had the highest disease severity and death rates. Subsequent studies have attempted to better describe how COVID-19 affects patients with HM. However, these studies have yielded variable and often contradictory results. We present our single-institution experience with patients with HM who were diagnosed with COVID-19 from March 2020 to March 2021. We report 62 total cases with 10 patients who died during

Pamidronate disodium for palliative therapy of feline bone-invasive tumors.

This study sought to quantify in vitro antiproliferative effects of pamidronate in feline cancer cells and assess feasibility of use of pamidronate in cats by assessing short-term toxicity and dosing schedule in cats with bone-invasive cancer. A retrospective pilot study included eight cats with bone invasive cancer treated with intravenous pamidronate. In vitro, pamidronate reduced proliferation in feline cancer cells (P < 0.05). One cat treated with pamidronate in combination with chemotherapy and two cats treated with pamidronate as a single agent after failing prior therapy had subjective

Ocular Manifestations Associated with Hematologic Malignancies: Mechanisms, Diagnosis, and Management.

Background: Hematologic malignancies (HMs), including leukemia and lymphoma, are systemic diseases that may cause a wide range of ocular manifestations. Methods: We searched PubMed/MEDLINE (2015-2026) and identified articles with an emphasis on clinically relevant studies and recent developments. Results: Clinically, ocular involvement presents with diverse manifestations, including retinal hemorrhage, vitreoretinal lymphoma, choroidal infiltration, orbital masses, treatment-related ocular toxicities, graft-versus-host disease, and secondary infectious complications. These findings may mimic o
