Jun 2nd, 2021 - Older patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) ineligible for conventional chemotherapy have historically received low-intensity treatments, if any, and have had dismal outcomes. Recent phase III data have demonstrated significant efficacy of ve...

Jun 2nd, 2021 - Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) can be curative for acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Novel therapies may render patients' bone marrows hypocellular and lead to prolonged post-therapy pancytopenia. Patients' bone marrow cellularity...

Jun 2nd, 2021 - Rho-related BTB domain (RhoBTB) proteins belong to Rho guanosine triphosphatases (GTPases). Their putative role implicated in carcinogenesis has been supported by accumulating evidence. However, their expression pattern and potential role in acute...

Jun 2nd, 2021 - While genomic alterations drive the pathogenesis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), traditional classifications are largely based on morphology and prototypic genetic founder lesions define only a small proportion of AML patients. The historical sub...

Jun 1st, 2021 - Acute myeloid leukemia with runt-related transcription factor 1 gene mutation (RUNX1+ AML) is associated with inferior response rates and outcome after conventional chemotherapy. We performed a retrospective, registry-based analysis to elucidate t...

Sep 23rd, 2020 - The role of hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) in the management of newly diagnosed adult acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is reviewed and critically evaluated in this evidence-based review. An AML expert panel, consisting of both transplant and...

May 31st, 2020 - Combination therapy with the isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) inhibitor ivosenidib plus the BCL2 inhibitor venetoclax with or without the chemotherapeutic agent azacitidine showed activity in patients with IDH1-mutated acute myeloid leukemia (AML...

May 29th, 2020 - Findings showed that AMG 330 was safe and tolerable in treating patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML), with cytokine release syndrome (CRS) as the most frequent and expected adverse event (AE), according to preliminary ...

May 28th, 2020 - When patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) undergo intensive chemotherapy treatment, their quality of life (QoL) and mood are negatively affected. Areej El-Jawahri, MD, of Massachusetts General Hospital, presented the results of a multicenter...

Oct 14th, 2019 - DOCK family proteins are evolutionarily conserved guanine nucleotide exchange factors for Rho GTPase with different cellular functions. It has been demonstrated that DOCK1 had adverse prognostic effect in acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

Jun 2nd, 2021 - Older patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) ineligible for conventional chemotherapy have historically received low-intensity treatments, if any, and have had dismal outcomes. Recent phase III data have demonstrated significant efficacy of ve...

May 11th, 2021 - Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is a group of related disorders that arise as the result of distorted hematopoietic stem cell function, inflammatory and innate immune deregulation, and multiple genomic events. These molecular alterations increase t...

Mar 10th, 2021 - Almost 20 years after the human genome was first mapped, whole-genome sequencing might finally be ready to enter routine cancer care. Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis, St. Louis, Missouri, are commercializing an automated sequenci...

Feb 23rd, 2021 - Updated February 25, 2021 // Editor’s note: The original text has been corrected to accurately reflect the status of the patients with AML and MDS. The FDA placed a clinical hold yesterday on two gene therapy trials for sickle cell disease (SCD) a...

Jan 27th, 2021 - Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is a group of related hematopoietic disorders characterized by peripheral blood cytopenias, abnormal blood cell development, and clonal genetic markers. Patients with MDS may present with clinical manifestations of a...

Jan 6th, 2021 - A new adverse event has been reported for PARP inhibitor drugs used in the treatment of cancer: the risk of developing myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML), both of which have a high mortality rate.   PARP inhibitors are...
