Failure of treatment-free remission after a prolonged deep molecular response in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia
Acta Haematol. 2024 Apr 4. doi: 10.1159/000538651. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPatients with chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase (CML-CP) can have a normal life expectancy when treated with the BCR::ABL1 tyrosine kinase inhibitors. In recent years, treatment discontinuation and treatment-free remission (TFR) emerged as the new goal of therapy in patients with CML-CP. Deep and sustained molecular remissions for more than 3 to 5 years are associated with higher chances of a successful TFR. However, although uncommon, some patients may still experience molecular or hematological relapse after treatment discontinuation...

The ratio of serum urea nitrogen to albumin is a better predictor of OS in MM patients than urea nitrogen alone
Conclusion This retrospective study based on the MMRF database showed that high sUN and sUAR levels were positively associated with β2-MG, LDH, and ISS staging, and sUAR exhibited a stronger correlation with OS than sUN alone.PMID:38527425 | DOI:10.1159/000538479 (Source: Acta Haematologica)

Utility of echocardiogram in neutropenic patients with gram positive bacteremia - a retrospective study
Conclusion In our experience, the yield of echocardiogram in hemato-oncological neutropenic patients with bacteremia is extremely low, owing to reduced probability of IE in this population, and thus could be avoided in most cases.PMID:38527433 | DOI:10.1159/000538449 (Source: Acta Haematologica)
