Early Molecular Response to Imatinib First-Line Therapy and Predictive Factors of Poor Outcomes for Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Patients in Côte d'Ivoire.

The present study aimed to evaluate for the first time, the early molecular response (EMR) to imatinib at 3 months for patients with chronic myeloid leukemia and to determine the predictive factors that influence poor outcome and response. 60 newly diagnosed CML patients were enrolled from May 2018 to June 2023. They received imatinib and prospectively underwent a molecular evaluation.

Characteristics and Results of the Management of Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphomas: The Experience of Côte d'Ivoire.

Diffuse large B-cell lymphomas have been little studied in black Africans. The purpose of our study was to determine the characteristics and results of the management of these lymphomas. Patients and Methods.

[Homozygous sickle cell disease in Ivory Coast adults].

Sickle cell disease is a genetic disease characterized by the synthesis of an abnormal haemoglobin called haemoglobin S. It is the most frequent of the hereditary anomalies of haemoglobin and occurs most commonly in individuals of African descent. Various treatments have considerably improved its prognosis, prolonging the survival of patients, especially those with the most severe, homozygous form.
