Molecular remission as a therapeutic objective in acute promyelocytic leukemia
Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is a subtype of acute leukemia characterized by a unique t(15;17) translocation generating the PML/RARA fusion gene and hybrid oncoprotein. Besides its critical role in leukemog...

Autoimmune manifestations associated with myelodysplastic syndromes
Autoimmune disorders (ADs) are encountered in 10 to 20% of patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). Available data suggest that ADs concern more often younger patients with higher risk IPSS. MDS subtypes...

Open AccessMulticenter validation of the flow measurement of classical monocyte fraction for chronic myelomonocytic leukemia diagnosis
Peripheral blood monocytes include three subsets defined by CD14 and CD16 surface markers. An increase in the CD14++CD16− classical monocyte fraction ≥ 94% of the total monocytes was proposed to rapidly and effic...

Open AccessA phase 3 randomized, placebo-controlled study assessing the efficacy and safety of epoetin-α in anemic patients with low-risk MDS
Erythropoiesis-stimulating agents are first choice for treating anemia in low-risk MDS. This double-blind, placebo-controlled study assessed the efficacy and safety of epoetin-α in IPSS low- or intermediate-1 ...

Open AccessTP53 mutation status divides myelodysplastic syndromes with complex karyotypes into distinct prognostic subgroups
Risk stratification is critical in the care of patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). Approximately 10% have a complex karyotype (CK), defined as more than two cytogenetic abnormalities, which is a hig...

Biology and prognostic impact of clonal plasmacytoid dendritic cells in chronic myelomonocytic leukemia
Islands of CD123high cells have been commonly described in the bone marrow of patients with chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML). Using a multiparameter flow cytometry assay, we detected an excess of CD123+ mon...

Treatment Algorithms for Lower-Risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome
Lower-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) include patients with very low, low, and part of intermediate revised IPSS (i.e., a score below 4), characterized by a low risk of progression to AML, but often promi...

Open AccessOutcome of older (≥70 years) APL patients frontline treated with or without arsenic trioxide—an International Collaborative Study
Data on outcome in older (≥70 years) patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia after treatment with arsenic trioxide (ATO) compared with standard chemotherapy (CTX) is scarce. We evaluated 433 patients (media...

Which lower risk myelodysplastic syndromes should be treated with allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation?
Indications of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) remain controversial in patients with lower risk myelodysplastic syndrome. We review prognostic factors in lower risk MDS, delineating p...

Clonal dominance is an adverse prognostic factor in acute myeloid leukemia treated with intensive chemotherapy
Intra-tumor heterogeneity portends poor outcome in many cancers. In AML, a higher number of drivers worsens prognosis. The Shannon Index is a robust metric of clonal heterogeneity that accounts for the number ...

Machine learning identifies the independent role of dysplasia in the prediction of response to chemotherapy in AML
The independent prognostic impact of specific dysplastic features in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) remains controversial and may vary between genomic subtypes. We apply a machine learning framework to dissect t...
