Background: Prognostic factors of metastatic rectal cancer are not well known.
Aim: The objective of this study was to identify prognostic factors of overall survival (OS) in a cohort of patients with non-resectable synchronous metastatic rectal cancer.
Methods: Patients were retrospectively enrolled from 18 French centres.
Background: Diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is an aggressive disease. The first-line treatment is well defined in young patients; however, in oldest old patients treatment remains unclear.
Objectives: To investigate the impact of therapeutics management and geriatric evaluation on survival in aged patients with DLBCL.
Objective: Hematological treatment decisions in older adults with hematological malignancies are complex. Our objective is to study the impact of a comprehensive geriatric assessment on hematological treatment decision in older patients and the factors associated with change in treatment plan.
Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of patients aged 65 years and above with hematological malignancies, hospitalized between 2008 and 2019 at the University Cancer Institute of Toulouse.
Rationale: The use of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHSCT) for autoimmune diseases has become the first indication for transplant in nonmalignant disease. Mucormycosis is a rare invasive infection with increasing incidence in patients treated with AHSCT. We report the first case of pulmonary mucormycosis following AHSCT for systemic sclerosis (SSc).
