Non-infectious pulmonary complications after haematopoietic progenitor transplantation: a diagnostic approach.

Haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) is an established treatment for a wide variety of haematological diseases, both malignant and non-malignant. Infectious and non-infectious post-HCT pulmonary complications are a major cause of morbidity and mortality, with non-infectious complications becoming more prominent in recent decades as prophylaxis has led to a decrease in infectious complications. Globally, these complications can be divided into three phases (neutropenic, early and late phase) depending on their time of onset in relation to the graft. There is a growing awareness that t

Neuroimmune crosstalk and its impact on cancer therapy and research.

Cancer is a major health problem as it is the first or second leading cause of death worldwide. The global cancer burden is expected to rise 47% relative to 2020 cancer incidence. Recently, the fields of neuroscience, neuroimmunology and oncology have elaborated the neuroimmune crosstalk role in tumor initiation, invasion, progression, and metastases. The nervous system exerts a broad impact on the tumor microenvironment by interacting with a complex network of cells such as stromal, endothelial, malignant cells and immune cells. This communication modulates cancer proliferation, invasion, met

Late-occurring infections in a contemporary cohort of hematopoietic cell transplantation survivors.

BackgroundThere is a paucity of studies describing the incidence and risk factors for late-occurring (≥1 year) infectious complications in contemporary survivors of hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT).MethodsThis was a retrospective cohort study of 641 1-year survivors of HCT, transplanted between 2010 and 2013 as adults, and in remission from their primary disease. Standardized definitions were used to characterize viral, fungal, and bacterial infections. Cumulative incidence of infections was calculated, with relapse/progression considered as a competing risk event. Fine-Gray subdistrib

Review: Oncolytic virotherapy, updates and future directions.

Oncolytic viruses (OVs) are viral strains that can infect and kill malignant cells while spare their normal counterparts. OVs can access cells through binding to receptors on their surface or through fusion with the plasma membrane and establish a lytic cycle in tumors, while leaving normal tissue essentially unharmed. Multiple viruses have been investigated in humans for the past century. IMLYGIC™ (T-VEC/Talimogene Laherparepvec), a genetically engineered Herpes Simplex Virus, is the first OV approved for use in the United States and the European Union for patients with locally advanced or no

Waldenström macroglobulinemia: clinical and immunological aspects, natural history, cell of origin, and emerging mouse models.

Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM) is a rare and currently incurable neoplasm of IgM-expressing B-lymphocytes that is characterized by the occurrence of a monoclonal IgM (mIgM) paraprotein in blood serum and the infiltration of the hematopoietic bone marrow with malignant lymphoplasmacytic cells. The symptoms of patients with WM can be attributed to the extent and tissue sites of tumor cell infiltration and the magnitude and immunological specificity of the paraprotein. WM presents fascinating clues on neoplastic B-cell development, including the recent discovery of a specific gain-of-function

Cellular based treatment modalities for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary malignancy of the liver and is unfortunately associated with an overall poor prognosis and high mortality. Early and intermediate stages of HCC allow for treatment with surgical resection, ablation and even liver transplantation, however disease progression warrants conventional systemic therapy. For years treatment options were limited to molecular-targeting medications, of which sorafenib remains the standard of care. The recent development and success of immune checkpoint inhibitors has proven to be a breakthrough in the treatment of

Real-World Effectiveness and Renal Safety of Foscarnet for CMV Reactivation After Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation.

Background/Objectives: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) reactivation is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (allo-HCT) recipients. Letermovir is used to prevent infections, but it is not available in many countries. Ganciclovir and valganciclovir carry a risk of bone marrow suppression. Foscarnet is frequently used as a bone marrow-sparing alternative; however, its clinical utility is constrained by nephrotoxicity. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy and renal safety of foscarnet and to identify factors associated with acute kidney injury

Infectious complications distribution following CLL1 CAR-T cell therapy for acute myeloid leukemiass.

The CLL1-targeted chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapy offers a novel therapeutic approach for refractory or relapsed acute myeloid leukemia (AML).The targeted elimination of tumor cells by CLL1 CAR-T therapy also induces cytotoxic effects on neutrophils, leading to a severe granulocytopenia, thereby significantly increasing the risk of infectious complications during CAR-T therapy. However, the infectious complications associated with this strategy have not been comprehensively investigated. The objective of this study was to evaluate the incidence rate of infectious complications

Design and rationale of FOCUS (PX-171-011): a randomized, open-label, phase 3 study of carfilzomib versus best supportive care regimen in patients with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma (R/R MM).

BACKGROUND: Carfilzomib is a next-generation proteasome inhibitor with single-agent activity in patients with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma (R/R MM). In PX-171-003-A1, a single-arm phase 2 study of carfilzomib monotherapy in heavily pretreated patients, the overall response rate was 23.7%, 37% of patients achieved ≥ minimal response and median overall survival (OS) was 15.6 months. Based on this study, carfilzomib was recently approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of R/R MM. Herein we describe the trial design and rationale for a phase 3 randomized study,

Updates on C3 Glomerulopathy in Kidney Transplantation: Pathogenesis and Treatment Options.

C3 glomerulopathy is a rare disease, characterized by an abnormal activation of the complement's alternative pathway that leads to the accumulation of the C3 component in the kidney. The disease recurs in more than half of kidney transplant recipients, with a significant impact on graft survival. Recurrence of the primary disease represents the second cause of graft loss after organ rejection. In C3 glomerulopathy, there are several risk factors which can promote a recurrence during transplantation, such as delayed graft function, infection and monoclonal gammopathy. All these events can trigg

Targeting BRD4: Potential therapeutic strategy for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (Review).

As a member of BET (bromodomain and extra-terminal) protein family, BRD4 (bromodomain‑containing protein 4) is a chromatin‑associated protein that interacts with acetylated histones and actively recruits regulatory proteins, leading to the modulation of gene expression and chromatin remodeling. The cellular and epigenetic functions of BRD4 implicate normal development, fibrosis and inflammation. BRD4 has been suggested as a potential therapeutic target as it is often overexpressed and plays a critical role in regulating gene expression programs that drive tumor cell proliferation, survival, mi

Value of influenza vaccines in cancer patients during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic: a cross-sectional study.

BackgroundAccording to the recommendation of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), getting influenza vaccines during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemics is especially important for people with certain underlying medical conditions, like cancer. Due to the similarities between the symptoms of influenza and COVID-19, receiving the flu vaccine in suspicious cases can be helpful because it will make it easier to request a medical test and diagnosis. In this study, the value of influenza vaccination in the cancer population was investigated.MethodsIn a cross-sectional study, all ca

Fanconi syndrome induced by adefovir dipivoxil: a case report and clinical review.

More than 150 cases of Fanconi syndrome (FS) or hypophosphatemia osteomalacia induced by low-dose adefovir dipivoxil (ADV) have been reported since 2002, when ADV was introduced for the long-term treatment of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Because the life expectancy of HBV-infected individuals has increased, the adverse effects of long-term treatment with antiviral therapies are increasingly observed, and nephrotoxicity is one of the most severe adverse effects of ADV. Therefore, the number of cases may be far higher than reported. Moreover, ADV-induced FS is often misdiagnosed or diagnos

Retrospective analysis of the preparation and application of immunotherapy in cancer treatment (Review).
