Enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma: A population-based cohort study on incidence, treatment, and outcome in the Netherlands.

Introduction: Enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma (EATL) is a peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) with a poor prognosis. Cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (CHOP) with or without etoposide consolidated by autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) are recommended for fit PTCL patients. The role of etoposide and ASCT in EATL is unclear.

Causes of death among patients diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia: A population-based study in the Netherlands, 1996-2020.

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) manifests heterogeneously with varying outcomes. This population-based study examined causes of death (CODs), as registered by the physician who established the death, among 20,588 CLL patients diagnosed in the Netherlands between 1996 and 2020. Utilizing cause-specific flexible parametric survival models, we estimated cause-specific hazard ratios (HRs) and cumulative incidences of death due to CLL, solid malignancies, other hematological malignancies, infections, and other causes.

Midostaurin added to 10-day decitabine, for patients unfit for intensive chemotherapy with AML and higher risk MDS, irrespective of FLT3 mutational status, does not improve outcome.

The treatment of older patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) considered unfit for receiving intensive chemotherapy is challenging. Based on the hypothesis that addition of the broad tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) midostaurin could improve the response to hypomethylating agents, irrespective of FLT3 gene mutational status, we conducted a randomized phase II multicenter study to assess the tolerability and efficacy of the addition of midostaurin to a 10-day schedule of decitabine in unfit (i.e.
