Kidney Disease and Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation.
Kidney360
January 2025
Centro Hospitalar Universitário de Coimbra, Nephrology Department, 3004 Coimbra, Portugal.
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a potentially curative therapy for patients with hematologic malignancies and certain solid tumors and nonmalignant hematologic conditions. Both acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) occur commonly after HSCT and are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. AKI and CKD in this setting may result from direct effects of the transplant or be caused by pretransplant bone marrow conditioning regimens and/or nephrotoxic agents administered in the post-transplant period.

JAMA Oncol
January 2025
Division of Hematologic Malignancies, Medical Oncology, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Boston, Massachusetts.
Importance: Although sharing care with local oncologists after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) has been proposed for patients living far from HCT centers, it is not known whether a shared strategy is safe or improves patient quality of life (QOL).
Objective: To determine the efficacy and safety of sharing follow-up care after HCT between the HCT specialty center and local oncologists.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This was a multicenter collaborative randomized clinical trial of patients undergoing HCT at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (DFCI)-a high volume HCT center in Boston (Massachusetts)-and 8 local oncology practices.
Characterizing sexuality and assessing predictors of sexual satisfaction in patients with multiple myeloma and other hematological cancers.
Support Care Cancer
January 2025
Department of Psychology, University of Calgary, Calgary, AB, Canada.
Purpose: Existing studies documenting cancer-related sexual concerns among hematological cancer patients tend to group all types of hematological cancer together, overlooking potentially unique concerns associated with multiple myeloma (MM). This study is the first to characterize sexuality in MM and to examine predictors of sexual satisfaction for MM, comparatively with participants with other hematological cancer types.
Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional self-report survey-based study.
How I Manage Patients with Unexplained Cytopenia.
Blood
December 2024
University of Pavia, Pavia, Italy.
The term "unexplained cytopenia" is used to describe a condition characterized by peripheral blood (PB) cytopenia that cannot be attributed to identifiable causes using conventional tests or to any concomitant diseases. Unexplained cytopenia requires clinical attention and further investigation to identify individuals at risk of developing a hematologic neoplasm. The available evidence suggests that somatic mutation analysis may effectively complement the diagnostic work-up and clinical management of unexplained cytopenia.

Chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapy, an emerging personalized immunotherapy for various haematologic malignancies, autoimmune diseases and other conditions, involves the modification of patients' T cells to express a chimeric antigen receptor that recognizes tumour or autoimmune cell antigens, allowing CAR-T cells to destroy cancerous and other target cells selectively. Despite remarkable clinical improvements in patients, multiple adverse effects have been associated with CAR-T cell therapy. Among the most recognized adverse effects are cytokine release syndrome, immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome and tumour lysis syndrome.
