Article Synopsis
- - The study analyzed the effectiveness and safety of methotrexate (MTX) in treating mycosis fungoides (MF) across different stages, involving 211 patients from five Greek centers, with a median age of 68.3 years.
- - Results showed an overall response rate of 55.5%, with better outcomes in patients receiving MTX as a first-line treatment and those with erythrodermic disease compared to tumor stage disease.
- - The study concludes that MTX is a viable first-line treatment option for MF, demonstrating varying progression-free survival rates depending on the disease stage and acceptable safety profiles.
Purpose: MALT lymphoma is thought to have a genetic component. Genetic studies in the greek population are rare and genetic determinants remain to be established. The current study aimed to seek correlations between genetic polymorphisms and risk of MALT lymphoma in the Greek population.

Aim: The goal of our study was to verify the correlation of the aforementioned variation with the disease, to examine, for the first time, the role of the C260T variation (rs2569190), and to investigate the association of two polymorphisms (Asp299Gly or rs4986790 and Thr399Ile or rs4986791) in a Greek population with the wet form of AMD.
Background: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a degenerative ocular disease, which may lead to loss of central vision. In Caucasian populations, a strong correlation has been established with polymorphism Y402H (rs1061170) in the complement factor H gene (CFH). The H131R polymorphism (rs1801274) in the FCGR2A gene has been associated with many inflammatory diseases, but has not been investigated in relation to AMD.
