Article Abstract

According to several reports, the 10 year incidence of secondary acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) after systemic chemotherapy is approximately 1.5%. The cumulative risk increases by 0.25--1% for the first 8 years after treatment. We have reported only 6 cases of hematological malignancies (0.3%) after breast cancer chemotherapy in our institute. We detected 2 cases of secondary AML and 1 case of MDS, 19, 52 and 12 months, respectively, after systemic chemotherapy for breast cancer. Published data on the occurrence of secondary hematological malignancies other than AML or MDS in this setting are scarce. We encountered diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, angioimmunoblastic lymphoma and mantle cell lymphoma as secondary hematological malignancies after systemic chemotherapy for breast cancer.

Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), a crucial transcription factor, exerts a notable influence by hyperactivating or acquiring functional mutations in the occurrence and progression of cancers. Hyperactive STAT3 is also implicated in a range of hematopoietic malignancies, especially acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The function of STAT3 is associated with the phosphorylated parallel dimer structure, enabling them to stimulate the transcription of specific genes.

Fever of unknown origin (FUO) can be a common manifestation of multiple disease processes like infections, hematological & solid organ malignancies, autoimmune disorders, and autoinflammatory diseases. Endocrine causes of FUO are rare but should be considered in differential diagnosis. We present a case of a 35-year-old female with prolonged on-and-off fever and intermittent vomiting for nine months, where extensive workups for chronic infections, malignancy, and autoimmune conditions initially yielded no definitive diagnosis.

Objective: This study is to develop and validate a robust risk prediction model for mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in patients with malignant haematological diseases after haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT).

Methods: In this study, we analysed the clinical data of the included patients. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify independent risk factors for cognitive impairment after HSCT in patients with malignant haematological diseases, and a risk prediction model was constructed.

Despite the success of the CD19xCD3 T cell engager blinatumomab in B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL), treatment failure is common and can manifest with antigen loss and extramedullary disease (EMD) relapse. To understand the impact of leukemia genetics on outcomes, we reviewed 267 adult patients with B-ALL treated with blinatumomab and used next generation sequencing to identify molecular alterations. Patients received blinatumomab for relapsed/refractory (R/R) disease (n=150), minimal residual disease (MRD+) (n=88), upfront as induction (n=10), or as consolidation in MRD- state (n=19).
