Inversion of chromosome 16 [inv(16)] is one of the most common chromosomal rearrangements in Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) and generates the fusion gene , which initiates leukemogenesis. Patients with inv(16) at diagnosis invariably have the rearrangement at relapse, leading to the assumption that is required after leukemic transformation. However, this has yet to be shown experimentally.

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is characterized by the accumulation of neoplastic CD5/CD19 B lymphocytes in the blood. These cells migrate to and proliferate in the bone marrow and lymphoid tissues. Despite the development of new therapies for CLL, drug resistance and disease relapse still occur; novel treatment approaches are therefore still needed.

Central nervous system (CNS) involvement in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is rare, and spinal cord infiltration as a presenting manifestation has only rarely been described. We present the case of a 65-year-old man with CLL, initially diagnosed at the age of 54, who had not received prior treatment. He presented with a six-week history of thoracic and epigastric pressure.

Introduction: Inotuzumab ozogamicin(InO) is indicated for the treatment of adults with relapsed or refractory(R/R) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). This systematic literature review (CRD42022330496) assessed outcomes bybaseline characteristics for patients with R/R ALL treated with InO to identifywhich patients may benefit most.
Methods: In adherencewith PRISMA guidelines, searches were run in Embase and MEDLINE.

: AML is an aggressive malignant disease characterized by aberrant proliferation and accumulation of immature blast cells in the patient's bone marrow. Chemotherapeutic treatment can effectively induce remission and re-establish functional hematopoiesis. However, many patients experience chemoresistance-associated relapse and disease progression with a poor prognosis.
