Background: Total skin electron beam therapy (TSEBT) combined with systemic therapy or maintenance treatment is a reasonable approach to enhance the remission rate and duration in mycosis fungoides (MF) and Sézary syndrome (SS). This study assesses the efficacy of oral bexarotene therapy after low-dose TSEBT for patients with MF and SS.
Methods: In this prospective observational study, we recruited MF/SS patients for treatment with low-dose total skin electron beam therapy (TSEBT) with or without bexarotene therapy to describe outcomes and toxicities.
Background: Cytomegalovirus (CMV)-seropositive (R+) hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) recipients have a survival disparity compared with CMV-seronegative recipient/donor (R-D-) pairs. We hypothesized that primary letermovir prophylaxis (LET) may abrogate this disparity. We investigated the relationship between LET and mortality at 1 year post-HCT.

- Studies from China and Italy indicate cancer patients may have a higher death rate from COVID-19, leading to concerns about balancing safety in cancer treatment and reducing virus exposure.
- At Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, 423 cancer patients tested positive for COVID-19, with 40% hospitalized and factors like age over 65 and treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors linked to worse outcomes.
