Erythromelalgia, a rare cutaneous pain syndrome, is characterized by acral burning pain and flushing, often alleviated by cold and rest. Primary erythromelalgia is caused by gain-of-function mutations of genes encoding for sodium channels, resulting in hyperexcitability of pain signaling neurons. Autoimmunity and hematologic dyscrasias such as thrombocythemia have been implicated in secondary erythromelalgia.

Calreticulin (CALR) mutations are detected in around 20% of patients with primary and post-essential thrombocythemia myelofibrosis (MF). Regardless of driver mutations, patients with splenomegaly and symptoms are generally treated with JAK2-inhibitors, most commonly ruxolitinib. Recently, new therapies specifically targeting the CALR mutant clone have entered clinical investigation.

Patients with essential thrombocythemia (ET) have a chronic evolution with a risk of hematological transformation associated with a dismal outcome. Since patients with resistance or intolerance have an adverse prognosis, it is important to identify which patient will respond to first-line treatment. We therefore aim to describe the association between additional mutations and response to first-line treatment in patients with ET.

Multiple myeloma (MM), essential thrombocythemia (ET), and colorectal adenocarcinoma (CA) are three distinct diseases. The co-occurrence of MM, ET, and CA in a single patient is exceedingly rare. Our study presents a remarkable case involving a 75-year-old patient who was simultaneously diagnosed with these three diseases.

The efficacy of statins as anti-cancer drugs has been demonstrated in several malignancies but has been poorly investigated in hematological malignancies (HM). By studying its effect on oncogenic miRNAs, we investigated the effect of statin therapy on HM patients. The data were used to identify enriched pathways that were altered due to statin treatment.
