Article Abstract

Purpose Of Review: To review the current literature and guidelines regarding salvage therapy for local and regional recurrence of primary penile cancer.

Recent Findings: While invasive surgical management has not significantly changed, penile sparing treatments (PSTs) may have a promising role in the management of local recurrence. Penile sparing surgeries do appear to have higher rates of recurrence. However, the overall survival rate is comparable to that of partial and total penectomies. Additionally, a combination of therapies may have a more profound effect on management of penile cancer.

Summary: Clinicians must discuss the role of each type of therapy for penile cancer with their patients, and tailor their management to the extent of disease in each patient. While it is important to discuss the balance between quality of life and rates of relapse, one must also emphasize the rates of overall survival in patients with local recurrence who are treated with PSTs.

Background: The treatment of relapsed/refractory T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (R/R T-ALL) is a significant challenge in hematologic oncology, and no standard salvage treatment plan exists. Both Chinese and international clinical guidelines recommend combination chemotherapy including venetoclax.

Methods: Efficacy and safety of venetoclax, azacitidine, homoharringtonine, cytarabine, and aclarubicin (VA-HAA) combination therapy were retrospectively analyzed in 3 patients with R/R T-ALL at the Department of Hematology, 920th Hospital of the Joint Logistics Support Force, Chinese People's Liberation Army.

Background: Chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) has a high risk of poor outcomes. We aimed to compare the outcomes of lower extremity revascularization in patients with CLTI stratified by CKD severity in patients enrolled in the prospective, randomized Best Endovascular vs Best Surgical Therapy in Patients with CLTI (BEST-CLI) trial.

Methods: The BEST-CLI trial dataset was queried to categorize patients into three groups according to CKD stage.

The outcome of refractory/relapsed systemic Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (R/R-sALCL), especially for anaplastic lymphoma kinase-1 (ALK-1)-negative disease, remains dismal even after autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHSCT). The intensification of both salvage and conditioning regimens, without increasing the toxicity, could improve the outcome of AHSCT in R/R-sALCL. Based on the successful experience of the incorporation of antiD20 monoclonal antibodies in the treatment of B-Cell Lymphomas, we designed a salvage and conditioning regimen incorporating the antiCD30-conjugated antibody (Brentuximab Vedotin, BV) to standard chemotherapy regimens, and we describe herein the clinical course of a patient with AKL-ve, R/R-sALCL, who received salvage regimen BV + DHAP, followed by AHSCT with preparative regimen consisted of BV plus standard BEAM.

Background: With recent advances in clinical practice, including the use of reduced-toxicity conditioning regimens and innovative approaches such as ex vivo TCRαβ/CD19 depletion of haploidentical donor stem cells or post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCY), hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) has emerged as a curative treatment option for a growing population of patients with inborn errors of immunity (IEI). However, despite these promising developments, graft failure (GF) remains a significant concern associated with HSCT in these patients. Although a second HSCT is the only established salvage therapy for patients who experience GF, there are no uniform, standardized strategies for performing these second transplants.
