Objective: To explore the clinical outcomes and characteristics of -mutated primary myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS).
Methods: A total of 74 primary MDS patients who were diagnosed and treated in the Department of Hematology of our hospital from January 2018 and September 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. All patients had evaluable blood cell counts, mean corpuscular volume (MCV), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), bone marrow (BM) morphology, biopsy, and MDS-related 20-gene mutations sequencing. In addition, 69 of 74 patients had complete cytogenetic analysis through conventional chromosome analysis and fluorescence hybridization.
Results: Patients were divided into two cohorts, the mutated type (TP53) group ( = 19) and wild type (TP53 group ( = 55). Compared with the TP53 group, patients in the TP53 group had higher ratios of cytogenetic abnormalities (82.4% vs. 30.8%, < 0.001), with 5q- karyotype (64.70% vs. 38.5%, < 0.001), complex karyotype(CK) (64.70% vs. 38.5%, < 0.001), HR-MDS (94.7% vs. 61.8%, = 0.008), and acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) transformation (26.3% vs. 12.7%, < 0.001). Interestingly, patients in the TP53 group had lower median MCV than the TP53 group (94.40 fl vs. 101.90 fl, 0.008). Furthermore, MCV = 100 fl as cutoff, and found that MCV ≤ 100 fl was more common in the TP53 group (73.7% vs. 38.2%, < 0.001). After 1-4 courses of HMA ± chemotherapy, the overall response rate of the TP53 group was higher than the TP53 group (83.3% vs. 71.4%, = 0.012). With the median follow-up 12.0 months (1-46 months), the results show that the median OS and leukemia-free survival (LFS) of TP53 group was significantly shorter than the TP53 group (= 0.0018; = 0.0310). Results of multivariate Cox proportional hazard analyses show mutation was an independent prognostic factor for the OS (HR 2.724, 95%CI 1.099-6.750, = 0.030).
Conclusion: -mutated primary MDS patients were associated with higher frequency of cytogenetic abnormalities, with 5q- karyotype, CK, AML transformation, higher risk IPSS-R, lower MCV and sensitive to HMA treatment, but worse survival.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is characterized by the uncontrolled proliferation of monoclonal plasma cells and accounts for approximately 10% of all hematologic malignancies. The clinical outcomes of MM can exhibit considerable variability. Variability in both the genetic and epigenetic characteristics of MM undeniably contributes to tumor dynamics.

The majority of patients with bladder cancer suffer from tumour recurrence. Identifying prognostic factors for tumour recurrence is crucial for treatment and follow-up in affected patients. The study aimed to assess the impact of somatic mutations in bladder cancer on patient outcomes and tumour recurrence.

Vulvar carcinoma is a rare disease, meeting the criteria for a "rare cancer", but its incidence is increasing, especially in women <60 years of age. Squamous cell carcinoma (VSCC) accounts for the overwhelming majority of vulvar carcinomas and is the focus of this review. As with many cancers, the increased understanding of molecular events during tumorigenesis has led to the emergence of the molecular subclassification of VSCC, which is subclassified into tumors that arise secondary to high-risk human papillomavirus infection (HPV-associated, or HPVa) and those that arise independently of HPV (HPVi), most commonly in the setting of a chronic inflammatory condition of the vulvar skin.
