RUNX1::MIR99AHG Chimera in Acute Myeloid Leukemia.

RUNX1 fuses with over 70 different partner genes in hematological neoplasms. While common RUNX1 chimeras have been extensively studied and their prognosis is well established, our current understanding of less common RUNX1 chimeras is limited. Here, we present a case of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with a rare RUNX1 chimera.

The Geriatric Prognostic Index: a clinical prediction model for survival of older diffuse large B-cell lymphoma patients treated with standard immunochemotherapy.

The International prognostic Index (IPI) is the most widely used clinical prediction model for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients treated with rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine and prednisone (R-CHOP), but may be suboptimal in older patients. We aimed to develop and externally validate a clinical prediction model for older, RCHOP- treated DLBCL patients by examining geriatric assessment and lymphoma-related parameters in real-world cohorts. A population-based training set of 365 R-CHOP-treated DLBCL patients ≥70 years was identified through the Cancer Registry of Norway.
