The treatment of Philadelphia chromosome-positive B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ B-cell ALL) has seen substantial progress over the past two decades. The introduction of tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKIs) has resulted in dramatic improvements in long-term survival. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT), with its curative potential, has always been an integral part of the treatment algorithm of Ph+ ALL.

Background: A patient with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) presented with a cardiac mass of unknown nature. This case underscores the importance of careful monitoring and a multidisciplinary approach in managing and differentiation of rare cardiac complications in leukemia patients. It aims to improve diagnostic accuracy and therapeutic outcomes in similar challenging scenarios.

Purpose: Physical performance is crucial for prognosis after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HCT). Cardiorespiratory fitness has already been shown to have prognostic value, and there is increasing evidence that muscle strength and associated parameters (e.g.

As median age of patients with acute myeloid leukemia is 72 years, older patients continue to be a vulnerable cohort representing significant challenges in clinical practice. Patient-specific comorbidities as well as leukemia-specific unfavorable molecular- and cytogenetics confer even poorer outcomes. Treatment of AML therefore needs to be less toxic to prevent harm while lowering or eradicating leukemic burden to prolong survival.

Beta-thalassemia is a severe, hereditary blood disorder characterized by anemia, transfusion dependence, reduced life expectancy, and poor quality of life. Allogeneic transplantation of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) is the only curative treatment for transfusion-dependent β-thalassemia, but a lack of compatible donors prevents the use of this approach for most patients. Over the past 20 years, the rise of gene therapy and the development of lentiviral vectors and genome-editing tools has extended curative options to a broader range of patients.
