Article Synopsis
  • Allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT) offers curative potential for multiple myeloma patients but is effective in only a minority, with some patients experiencing long-term survival after relapse thanks to a combination of antimyeloma drugs and donor T cells.
  • A study evaluating 242 multiple myeloma patients who underwent allo-SCT revealed a median overall survival of 39.4 months and highlighted factors like older age and previous therapies that predict shorter survival outcomes.
  • Among 118 relapsed patients, various treatments were employed, with a significant portion receiving multiple lines of salvage therapy, including chemotherapy and immunomodulating agents, demonstrating a diverse treatment approach post-relapse.

Article Synopsis
  • * The update reflects new studies that reinforce the effectiveness of ECP in treating GVHD, with the goal of establishing consistent criteria for its use in both adults and children across Italy while ensuring patient safety and high-quality care.
  • * The guideline development involved a diverse group of specialists, including transfusionists and hematologists, with oversight by a hematologist skilled in systematic reviews, and also included input from a patient representative

Therapy-related myeloid neoplasms (t-MNs), which develop after cytotoxic, radiation, or immunosuppressive therapy for an unrelated disease, account for 7%-8% of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Worse outcomes and consequently shortened survival are associated with t-MNs as compared with AML. Therapy-related MNs are being reported with increasing frequency in successfully treated acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), in particular, before the introduction of all- retinoic acid (ATRA) plus arsenic trioxide (ATO).

Introduction: Azacitidine (AZA) either single-agent or with donor lymphocytes infusions (DLI) has been used as a salvage treatment for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) relapsing after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). To date, the majority of data come from patients relapsed after HSCT from full-matched donors.

Methods: We report a multicenter, collaborative, retrospective analysis of 71 patients with hematologic ( = 40, 56%) and molecular relapse ( = 31, 44%) of myeloid neoplasms after HSCT from alternative donors (mismatched unrelated,  = 39, 55%; haploidentical,  = 29, 41%) consecutively treated at three European centers with AZA ± DLI.

P1 Stanghellini, Mohammadi, Förster, and Adaskaveg is an oomycete root pathogen that has recently been characterized. It only attacks plant species belonging to family, causing root necrosis, stunting, and yield loss. Since P1 is limited in its host range, this prompted us to sequence its whole genome and compare it to those of broad host range spp.
