Aim: To determine the frequency and pattern of blood clotting disorders in patients with multiple myeloma (MM) and to evaluate the adequacy of preventive anticoagulant or antiaggregant therapy.
Subjects And Methods: The prospective study conducted at the Department for High-Dose Chemotherapy and Bone Marrow Transplantation, Hematology Research Center, Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, in March 2012 to May 2013, enrolled 25 patients (13 men and 12 women) aged 29-72 years (median age 54 years) with new-onset MM. The latter was staged using the Durie-Salmon classification: Stages I, II, and III were determined in 2, 10, and 13 patients, respectively.
Aim: To study the results of mobilizing and collecting autologous hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) in patients with multiple myeloma (MM) receiving bortezomib as part of induction therapy regimens.
Materials And Methods: In June 2001 to April 2010, the Department of Bone Marrow Transplantation, Hematology Research Center, Ministry of Health and Social Development of Russia, mobilized autologous HSC in 93 patients with MM, by using cyclophosphan (CF) and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor. The analysis covered 73 patients who received VAD and/or bortezomib-containing courses as induction therapy.
Aim: To determine an optimal cyclophosphamide dose in the mobilization scheme providing adequate collection of CD34+ cells in patients with multiple myeloma (MM), to optimize the time of initiation of granulocytic colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) administration, to study effects of induction therapy schemes on results of mobilization and collection of CD34+ cells.
Material And Methods: Department of hemoblastoses chemotherapy and bone marrow transplantation of the Russian Hematological Center performed mobilization of autologous blood hemopoietic stem cells (BHSC) in 93 MM patients treated in 2001-2010. This was done with cyclophosphamide and G-CSF.
Aim: To analyze the causes of prolonged hematopoietic tissue aplasias in patients with acute leukemias (AL) after chemotherapy courses.
Materials And Methods: Data on 7 patients with acute myeloid leukemia, followed up at the Hematology Departments, Hematology Research Center, Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, over the period 2003 to 2007, who had developed deep bone marrow aplasia (BMA) inadequate to cytostatic drug exposure during chemotherapy, were analyzed. The authors compared in all the patients the values of peripheral blood and bone marrow (BM) puncture specimens and the results of blood tests using the polymerase chain reaction at different AL development stages with the results of an immunohistochemical study using the markers of viruses of hepatitis C and B, a herpes group (EBV, CMV, HSV-1, HSV-2) and parvovirus B19.
