Highlights

  • Incidence and Risk of Hematological Adverse Events Associated With Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors: A Systematic Literature Review and Meta-Analysis

    Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have been a breakthrough in cancer therapy. ICI therapy is generally better tolerated than cytotoxic chemotherapy; however, hematological adverse events (AEs) have not been fully analyzed.

  • Mature Type T-Lymphoblastic Leukemia/Lymphoma Presenting With Isolated Central Nervous System Symptomatology in a Patient With Giant Cell Arteritis on Long-Term Steroid Treatment

    T-lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma (T-ALL/T-LBL) is a malignancy comprised of T-lymphoblasts that can present as one of four clinical subtypes (pro-T, pre-T, cortical T, and mature T).

  • Acute Myeloid Leukemia Following Myeloproliferative Neoplasms: A Review of What We Know, What We Do Not Know, and Emerging Treatment Strategies

    Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) arising from myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) represents a small subtype of secondary AML (sAML). This entity is well known to be associated with poor responses to available treatment options and dismal outcomes.

  • Treatment of Light Chain Deposition Disease: A Systematic Review

    Light chain deposition disease (LCDD) is a rare hematologic disorder that can affect any organ but predominantly involves the kidneys. Existing literature is limited to case reports and small single-center retrospective series, explaining the lack of any treatment algorithms and management guidelines for patients with this disorder.

  • Hematological, Biochemical Properties, and Clinical Correlates of Hemoglobin S Variant Disorder: A New Insight Into Sickle Cell Trait

    The sickle cell trait (SCT) disorder possesses a clinical heterogeneity ranging from a symptomless condition to sudden death. This study aimed to develop a diagnostic approach that helps the characterization and identification of SCT from normal subjects and sickle cell disease (SCD) patients, and to assess its severity.

Neutropenic Enterocolitis: An Uncommon, but Fearsome Complication of Leukemia
Neutropenic enterocolitis (NEC) is a life-threatening condition occurring in severely neutropenic patients, following intensive chemotherapy for leukemia. Its pathogenesis is not entirely understood and believed to be multifactorial, including mucosal injury as a result of cytotoxic drugs, profound neutropenia, impaired host defense and possibly microbiota changes.

Survival in Elderly Patients Diagnosed With Acute Myeloid Leukemia: A Hospital-Based Study
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a hematological neoplasm that is more frequent in elderly patients. The objective of this study was to evaluate elderly patients’ survival with de novo AML and acute myeloid leukemia myelodysplasia-related (AML-MR), treated with intensive and less-intensive chemotherapy and supportive care.

Key Clinical Image

De-Novo B-Cell Prolymphocytic Leukemia
B-cell prolymphocytic leukemia (B-PLL) is a rare B-cell neoplasm that typically presents with splenomegaly, a rising white blood cell count, and may or may not have B symptoms. The diagnosis usually requires a bone marrow biopsy and aspirate with flow cytometry and cytogenetic studies. At least 55% of the lymphocytes in the peripheral blood must be prolymphocytes to be defined as B-PLL. Full Text
