Outcome of malignant lymphoma in Ukraine. Analysis of 563 cases registered in the Ukrainian Lymphoma Registry in 2019-2021.

We report the outcome of 563 cases of newly diagnosed lymphoma registered in 2019-2021, including 176 cases (31.2%) of Hodgkin lymphoma (HL), 130 (23.1%) of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), 28 (5%) of follicular lymphoma (FL), 16 (2.

Outcome of clinical experience of introducing a patient with secondary systemic AL-amyloidosis associated with multiple myeloma.

This research is relevant, as AL-amyloidosis refers to a systemic type of disease characterized by aggregation of an improperly folded light chain of an immunoglobulin, mainly in the heart and kidneys, causing organ failure. This study describes the clinical experience of introducing a patient with cardiac amyloidosis associated with multiple myeloma (MM). A clinical case of a patient diagnozed with amyloidosis was considered.

Current overview and special considerations for second breast cancer in Hodgkin lymphoma survivors.

Second breast cancer (SBC) is the most common solid cancer among Hodgkin Lymphoma (HL) female survivors. We reviewed the related modifying risk factors, radiation-induced carcinogenesis, tumors characteristics, management specificities, prevention and surveillance modalities based on current evidence. The risk of developing SBC may be influenced essentially by the age at HL treatment, follow-up latency, dose of irradiation received and the extent of irradiated field.

A Ukrainian multicenter prospective study of the value of PET/ CT prognostic role in primary patients with Hodgkins lymphoma in a real-life cohort.

Introduction: In recent years, the positron emission tomography combined with computed tomography (PET/CT) has changed and the treatment approaches in Hodgkins lymphoma (HL) patients have entirely improved. The main idea in several studies is the use of PET/CT and the International Prognostic Score (IPS) protocols in identification of patients within a high-risk group and potential early relapse/refractory disease.

Materials And Methods: This study was based on PET/CT evaluation and treatment strategies of patients from eight Centers of Hematology in Ukraine.

MAPK/ERK signal pathway alterations in patients with Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis.

Background: Clinical outcomes of Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) are highly variable. It has been suggested that mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) /extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK) signaling pathway might be activated in LCH patients.

Materials And Methods: We investigated KRAS, BRAF and NRAS mutations in patients with LCH by qPCR.
