The benefit of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) aged >60 years remains a matter of debate, notably when performed in first complete remission (CR1). To clarify this issue, the French Innovative Leukemia Organization (FILO) performed a 10-year real-world time-dependent analysis. The study enrolled patients between 60 and 70 years of age with AML in CR1 after intensive chemotherapy with intermediate (IR) or unfavorable (UR) risk according to the European LeukemiaNet (ELN) 2010 classification. The impact of allo-HSCT was analyzed through three models: (1) time-dependent Cox; (2) multistate for dynamic prediction; and (3) super landmark. The study enrolled 369 (73%) IR and 138 (27%) UR patients with AML, 203 of whom received an allo-HSCT. Classical multivariate analysis showed that allo-HSCT significantly improved relapse-free survival (RFS; hazard ratio [HR] [95% confidence interval (CI)], 0.47 [0.35-0.62]; P < .001) and overall survival (OS; HR [95% CI], 0.56 [0.42-0.76]; P < .001), independently of the ELN risk group. With the multistate model, the predicted 5-year probability for IR and UR patients to remain in CR1 without allo-HSCT was 8% and 1%, respectively. Dynamic predictions confirmed that patients without allo-HSCT continue to relapse over time. Finally, the super landmark model showed that allo-HSCT significantly improved RFS (HR [95% CI], 0.47 [0.36-0.62]; P < .001) and OS (HR [95% CI], 0.54 [0.40-0.72]; P < .001). allo-HSCT in CR1 is reported here as significantly improving the outcome of fit older patients with AML. Long-term RFS without allo-HSCT is very low (<10%), supporting allo-HSCT as being the best curative option for these patients.

Kulliyah of Nursing, International Islamic University Malaysia, Selangor, Malaysia.
Background: Many cancer survivors experience a wide range of symptoms closely linked to psychological problems, highlighting the need for psychological treatment, one of the most popular being mindfulness. The use of the internet has greatly increased in the last decade, and has encouraged the use of remote-based interventions to help people living with cancer access treatment remotely via devices.
Objective: The primary aim of this study was to explore the efficacy of internet-based mindfulness interventions on the physical symptoms of people living with cancer, where physical symptoms are defined as distressing somatic experiences (eg fatigue, insomnia, and pain) regardless of the underlying cause.

Purpose: Standard therapy for breast cancer after breast-conserving surgery is radiation therapy (RT) plus hormone therapy (HT). For patients with a low-risk of recurrence, there is an interest in deescalating therapy.
Methods And Materials: A retrospective study was carried out for patients treated at the Swedish Cancer Institute from 2000 to 2015, aged 70 years or older, with pT1N0 or pT1NX estrogen receptor-positive and ERBB2-negative unifocal breast cancer without positive surgical margins, high nuclear grade, or lymphovascular invasion.
