Objectives: The study evaluated the impact of lifestyle and environmental exposure on the etiology of multiple myeloma (MM).
Methods: A multicenter case-control study was conducted in 20 hematology centers and in 5 outpatient clinics in Poland. The questionnaire on exposure to potential risk factors including sociodemographic data, lifestyle, and environmental factors was completed.
Introduction: We investigated the incidence of chronic pulmonary complications in allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) recipients and analyzed the role of transbronchial cryobiopsy (cryoTBB) as a tool to determine the nature of pulmonary changes and to guide clinical decisions.
Methods: Patients who survived at least 6 months post HCT were included in the study. Pulmonary functional tests (PFTs) were performed in all patients as a screening tool.
Background: Glofitamab monotherapy induces durable remission in patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma after two or more previous therapies, but has not previously been assessed as a second-line therapy. We investigated the efficacy and safety of glofitamab plus gemcitabine-oxaliplatin (Glofit-GemOx) versus rituximab (R)-GemOx in patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
Methods: The phase 3, randomised, open-label STARGLO trial was done at 62 centres in 13 countries in Asia and Australia, Europe, and North America.

Salvage autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (auto-HCT) may be used to treat relapse of plasma cell myeloma occurring after previous auto-HCT. When an insufficient number of hematopoietic stem cells have been stored from the initial harvest, remobilization is necessary. Here, we aimed to analyze the efficacy and safety of different doses of cytarabine (total 800 vs.
