Lifetime Treatment Trajectories of Mantle Cell Lymphoma: Simulation Based Analysis of 20 Years of Real-World Data.

Mantle cell lymphoma is a rare type of B-cell lymphoma, which is considered incurable yet treatable. In recent years, the treatment options of mantle cell lymphoma have multiplied, and the focus of treatment is expected to shift from traditional chemoimmunotherapy toward precision medicine. However, this development is hindered by the high costs of targeted therapies.

Autograft composition and outcome-towards an optimal graft?

The amount of CD34 cells has been for decades the most important marker of autologous graft quality, but other graft cells, including various lymphocyte subsets, have gained some interest. This review attempts to summarize what is known about autograft cellular composition regarding post-transplant outcomes. The amount of CD34 cells in the graft is associated with tempo of platelet recovery.

Predictive Factors for Early Immune Recovery in NHL Patients after Autologous Transplantation: A Multicenter Prospective Study.

Early lymphocyte recovery as manifested by an absolute lymphocyte count at d+15 (ALC-15) ≥ 0.5 × 10/L after autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHCT) has been associated with a better outcome. This prospective multicenter study aimed to clarify factors associated with ALC-15 ≥ 0.

Novel biomarkers to identify complicated course of febrile neutropenia in hematological patients receiving intensive chemotherapy.

Febrile neutropenia (FN) is a common consequence of intensive chemotherapy in hematological patients. More than 90% of the patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) develop FN, and 5%-10% of them die from subsequent sepsis. FN is very common also in autologous stem cell transplant recipients, but the risk of death is lower than in AML patients.

Progression-free survival after front line, second line and third line in patients with follicular lymphoma treated in clinical practice.

Background: The modern-day therapeutic landscape for follicular lymphoma (FL) includes a number of highly effective therapies.

Patients And Methods: We set out to determine progression-free survival (PFS) after front line, second line, and third line of therapy on the basis of relevant biological characteristics and therapeutic choices. Patients (n = 743, 51% females, median 60 years old) diagnosed with grade 1-2 FL between 1997 and 2016 in nine institutions were included.
