Concordance between late effects reported by physicians and patients in a cohort of long-term Hodgkin lymphoma survivors: an analysis of data from nine consecutive EORTC-LYSA trials.

Purpose: Studies looking into the concordance between late effects reported by physicians vs. those reported by Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) survivors are missing.

Methods: A Life Situation Questionnaire focusing on late effects collected data from 1230 HL survivors (median follow-up 14.

Comprehensive genetic analysis by targeted sequencing identifies risk factors and predicts patient outcome in Mantle Cell Lymphoma: results from the EU-MCL network trials.

Recent studies highlighted genetic aberrations associated with prognosis in Mantle Cell lymphoma (MCL), yet comprehensive testing is not implemented in clinical routine. We conducted a comprehensive genomic characterization of 180 patients from the European MCL network trials by targeted sequencing of peripheral blood DNA using the EuroClonality(EC)-NDC assay. The IGH::CCND1 fusion was identified in 94% of patients, clonal IGH-V-(D)-J rearrangements in all, and 79% had ≥1 somatic gene mutation.

Serum chemistry profiling and prognostication in systemic mastocytosis: a registry-based study of the ECNM and GREM.

Certain laboratory abnormalities correlate with subvariants of systemic mastocytosis (SM) and are often prognostically relevant. To assess the diagnostic and prognostic value of individual serum chemistry parameters in SM, 2607 patients enrolled within the European Competence Network on Mastocytosis and 575 patients enrolled within the German Registry on Eosinophils and Mast Cells were analyzed. For screening and diagnosis of SM, tryptase was identified as the most specific serum parameter.
