Hematologic Neoplasms; Hematologic Malignancies; Hematopoietic Neoplasms. On-line free medical diagnosis assistant. Ranked list of possible diseases from either several symptoms or a full patient history. A similarity measure between symptoms and diseases is provided.
Hematologic neoplasm is a malignant hematologic disorder that occurs in blood or lymphatic system, its patients are mostly composed of adults, and its death rate is more than twice higher than the average death rate of cancer patients. Hematologic malignancy patients suffer physical, mental distress and psychological problems more often compared to solid cancer patients. The purpose of this study was to search for the essential theme of experience of hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) by patients, to help the in-depth understanding on the experience of HSCT by hematologic malignancy patients, and the hermeneutic phenomenology research method of van Manen was applied. Research participants were 11 adults aged over 19, who were patients visiting the outpatient clinic, in whose cases more than three months have elapsed after they were discharged from the hospital upon receiving the HSCT, or who were members of a leukemia patients group, and data was collected by the researcher between ...
An isochromosome of the long arm of chromosome 17, i(17q), is the most frequent genetic abnormality observed during the disease progression of Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), and has been described as the sole anomaly in various other hematologic malignancies. The i(17q) hence plays a presumably important pathogenetic role both in leukemia development and progression. This notwithstanding, the molecular consequences of this abnormality have not been investigated in detail. We have analyzed 21 hematologic malignancies (8 CML in blast crisis, 8 myelodysplastic syndromes [MDS], 2 acute myeloid leukemias, 2 chronic lymphocytic leukemias, and 1 acute lymphoblastic leukemia) with i(17q) by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Using a yeast artificial chromosome (YAC) contig, derived from the short arm of chromosome 17, all cases were shown to have a breakpoint in 17p. In 12 cases, the breaks occurred within the Smith-Magenis Syndrome (SMS) common deletion region ...

RATIONALE: Giving chemotherapy before a donor stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer or abnormal cells. It also helps stop the patients immune system from rejecting the donors stem cells. When the healthy stem cells from a donor are infused into the patient they may help the patients bone marrow make stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can make an immune response against the bodys normal cells. Giving cyclosporine and methotrexate before and after transplant may stop this from happening.. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying the side effects and how well donor stem cell transplant works when given after conditioning therapy in treating patients with hematologic cancer, recurrent or metastatic solid tumor, or other disease. ...

Clonal mosaicism for large chromosomal anomalies (duplications, deletions and uniparental disomy) was detected using SNP microarray data from over 50,000 subjects recruited for genome-wide association studies. This detection method requires a relatively high frequency of cells (,5-10%) with the same abnormal karyotype (presumably of clonal origin) in the presence of normal cells. The frequency of detectable clonal mosaicism in peripheral blood is low (,0.5%) from birth until 50 years of age, after which it rises rapidly to 2-3% in the elderly. Many of the mosaic anomalies are characteristic of those found in hematological cancers and identify common deleted regions that pinpoint the locations of genes previously associated with hematological cancers. Although only 3% of subjects with detectable clonal mosaicism had any record of hematological cancer prior to DNA sampling, those without a prior diagnosis have an estimated 10-fold higher risk of a subsequent hematological cancer (95% confidence ...

The older age is characterized by the increase of frailty, physical comorbidities, functional limitations, cognitive deficits, and inability to perform activities of daily living [7-9]. In elderly cancer patients, there is a significant correlation between somatic diseases, functional limitations and psychological distress [9-11]. Anxiety and depression are considered the most common forms of psychological distress in elderly cancer patients with the highest prevalence in patients older than 80 years [7, 10, 11]. Furthermore, desease- and treatment-related symptoms and the awareness of living with an incurable malignancy can profoundly impact health-related quality of life [12].. In contrast to the amount of research available for patients with solid tumors, there is still a paucity of studies regarding health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in patients with hematologic malignancies [13-16]. For elderly hematologic cancer patients, the number of studies is even sparser. Although about every ...

Eric Roeland, MD FAAHPM; Thomas LeBlanc, MD MA. Despite the many advances made in modern oncology, prognostication remains more art than science. Nowhere is this more evident than in the hematologic malignancies. This group of diseases is remarkably heterogeneous and includes leukemias, lymphomas, myeloproliferative neoplasms, and myelodysplastic syndromes, among others. Similarly heterogeneous is their impact on patients, ranging from indolent conditions like low-grade lymphomas, to the more rapidly progressive such as acute leukemias.. Several studies show that patients with hematologic malignancies are less likely to receive palliative care (PC) compared to those with solid tumors. Yet data show that hematologic malignancy patients have an equivalent or higher symptom burden and a higher likelihood of spending time in an ICU, receiving chemotherapy at end of life, or dying in the hospital compared to solid tumor patients.1-4 There are several reasons for this disconnect, but in short, the ...
INTRODUCTION: Cancer and its treatment with cytostatic drugs entails a number of negative experiences, emotions and side effects. Taking care of a oncological patient reveals a strong dependence between the quality of life and the patient's abilities and capabilities to meet their individual needs. OBJECTIVE: Evaluation of the quality of life and assessment of the influence of cancer treatment with cytostatic drugs on the quality of life of patients with blood cancers. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study was conducted among 50 patients from the Department of Hematology, Blood Cancer and Bone Marrow Transplantation. In order to examine the quality of life of people in the course of treatment with cytostatic drugs in hematological cancers, a diagnostic survey method was implemented with the use of the authors self-designed questionnaire and the EORTIC QLQ-C30 questionnaire in the Polish version. RESULTS: Analysis of the results of the study material reveals that:  almost all the respondents ...
Background: The majority of hematologic malignancies are most frequently diagnosed in patients over 65 years of age (1). However, older adults are underrepresented in clinical trials evaluating new cancer therapies (2). This analysis quantifies age related enrollment in trials evaluating patients with hematologic malignancies submitted to FDA in support of drug approval. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed demographic datasets of patients enrolled to trials submitted to FDA in support of approval of new or supplemental indications for hematologic cancer therapies from 2005-2015. Patients enrolled in trials for hematologic malignancies were grouped into disease categories based on the diagnosis specified for trial entry and analyzed according to age distributions of ,65, 65-74 and ≥ 75 years. The rates of enrollment for patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), multiple myeloma (MM) and lymphomas (Hodgkins and non-Hodgkins lymphoma excluding CLL) were ...

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is considered one of the most difficult breast cancers to treat, with few therapeutic options. In an overall analysis of the phase 3 IMpassion130 trial, investigators showed that using the checkpoint inhibitor atezolizumab (Tecentriq), a PD-L1 inhibitor, with nab-paclitaxel (Abraxane) chemotherapy improved disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients with advanced or metastatic TNBC compared with placebo plus nab-paclitaxel.
Flow Cytometry in Evaluation of Hematopoietic Neoplasms is a practical, case-based guide to flow cytometric analysis in the workup of hematopoietic neoplasms presenting in the peripheral blood, marrow, lymphoid tissue, and extranodal sites. Using multi-color techniques pioneered by Brent Wood, the text demonstrates a unique approach to diagnosis of hematopoietic malignancies as well as identification of small abnormal populations in the posttherapy setting (minimal residual disease testing). The publication contains an introduction to immunophenotypic changes seen in normal hematopoiesis along with an overview of the evaluation of lymphomas, leukemias, and myeloid stem-cell neoplasms. These concepts are further illustrated by a series of 36 cases, each dedicated to a specific disease entity. Each case provides detailed, full-color images of flow cytometric dot plots that clearly outline the features of the disease, accompanied by a clinical history and thorough discussion, enabling readers to develop

The mature and functional cells in blood have limited life spans and must be replenished in precise numbers. The physiological control of hematopoiesis depends on the cell proliferation and differentiation of stem cells and hematopoietic progenitors, which are influenced by intracellular and microenvironmental signals. Hematological malignancies are a heterogenous group of diseases in which different genetic and epigenetic aberrations lead to deregulation of cell growth, differentiation and protein biosynthesis. Basic knowledge about the molecular mechanisms of malignant transformation of blood cells is today a sine quoi non requirement for the adequate diagnosis, prognosis stratification and therapy. Indeed, recent advances in our understanding of the molecular basis of malignant diseases such as chronic myeloid leukemia and acute promyelocytic leukemia led to novel therapeutic strategies targeting relevant pathways that regulate cell proliferation or differentiation. Several of these new ...
Like other cancers, hematologic malignancies are caused by acquired somatic mutations that alter cell behavior, resulting in groups of genetically related cells (clones) with a survival or proliferative advantage. Remarkably, we now know that at least some of these potentially oncogenic events occur from time to time in the hematologic cells of healthy people, the vast majority of whom will not suffer from a hematologic malignancy during their lifetimes. More than 10% of people aged 70 years or older have a clonal mutation associated with a hematologic malignancy detectable in their blood, but the rate at which people with these mutations develop a malignancy is less than 1% per year. It follows that no single mutation is sufficient to create these cancers. Instead, hematologic cancers appear to result from the interplay of multiple mutations that collaborate to create a transformed phenotype. Molecular analyses have proven that although tumor cells within an individual cancer demonstrate some ...

Cancers can be broadly categorized into two main types based on their origin - solid tumor and hematological cancer. A solid tumor is one in which the abnormal cell growth in a tissue leads to the formation of solid mass or lump. Hematological cancers on the other hand arise in the blood and because blood is liquid, uncontrolled growth of blood cells do not form lumps. In children, the most common types include acute lymphoblastic leukemia, Hodgkins lymphoma, Wilms tumor, Burkitt lymphoma, and retinoblastoma. Cancer is a leading cause of death among young children with about 300,000 new cases diagnosed every year and the cost of caring for a child with cancer amounts to $800,000 USD. For a list of tumors that have high prevalence in children, see table below. While it is difficult to know the exact reason of why one has cancer, research has given us some clue about certain risk factors that predisposes to cancer. Unlike adults, where lifestyle and environmental factors such as unhealthy diet, ...

Results Growing up on a livestock farm was positively associated with haematological cancer (OR 1.22, 95% CI 1.05 to 1.41), particularly for poultry farms (OR 2.99, 95% CI 1.44 to 6.21), while growing up on a crop farm was not (OR 0.81, 95% CI 0.64 to 1.03). Crop farming in adulthood was associated with an increased haematological cancer risk (OR 1.49, 95% CI 1.13 to 1.96), while livestock farming was not (OR 0.80, 95% CI 0.63 to 1.00), except for beef cattle farming (OR 2.99, 95% CI 1.28 to 7.00). These results did not change appreciably when different control groups with different causes of death were used. ...
Cell dose is a critical determinant of outcomes in unrelated cord blood (CB) transplantation. We investigated a strategy in which CB units should contain at least 2 × 107 total nucleated cells/kg of recipient weight, otherwise a second unit had to be added. We report the results of a study that was prematurely closed owing to toxicity. Patients with advanced hematologic malignancies without a human leukocyte antigen-matched sibling or unrelated donor were eligible. Conditioning regimen consisted of fludarabine and 12 Gy of total body irradiation (n=11), or melphalan (n=4), with antithymocyte globulin. Graft-versus-host disease prophylaxis was tacrolimus and methotrexate. Fifteen patients with acute leukemia (n=9), chronic myelogenous leukemia (n=2), multiple myeloma (n=2) and lymphoma (n=2) were treated; 60% had relapsed disease at transplantation. Three patients received double CB transplants. The 100-day and 1-year treatment-related mortality rates were 40 and 53%, respectively. Median time to

2322 AVN944 is an orally bioavailable inhibitor of inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase 1 and 2 (IMPDH). IMPDH2 is highly up regulated and required for the de novo production of guanine nucleotides in many malignancies, including hematologic cancers. AVN944 has been in a repeat-dose, dose escalation trial in patients with advanced hematologic cancers including AML, CLL, Multiple Myeloma, and lymphomas. To further understand the nature of biologic activity seen in patients in this trial, we cultured RPMI-8226 Multiple Myeloma, and HT-29 colon cancer cells for growth in the presence of AVN944, as a means to identify cellular and molecular characteristics of response and resistance to the drug. Cells were treated for 16 weeks with 5uM AVN944 or 0.1% DMSO vehicle for three consecutive days followed by a four day holiday. Resistant sublines 10-fold resistant to AVN944 compared to the parental line were identified and isolated. Parental cells were significantly growth inhibited at an IC50 of 0.05uM and ...

Hematologic malignancies are at the forefront of the molecular revolution. Novel tools for diagnosis, prognosis and targeted therapies are changing the landscape of how physicians and scientists tackle these tumors. Given the diversity of these tools, which can range from image-based analysis to epigenetics and protein-based studies, the most clinically interesting ones may not be easily found in one publication. This call for papers will emphasize the need for new ways of analyzing clinically relevant issues in malignant hematology. Tools may not themselves be newly introduced but the way in which they have been employed has given new perspective on how to diagnose and treat these tumors. Our goal is to find connecting themes in these approaches and the way that such tools move our field forward. Articles can be original research, focused reviews of the literature, or case series with short reviews. - Molecular findings that improve targeted therapeutics for hematologic malignancies - Improved
Background There is increasing evidence that platelet indices, such as mean platelet volume (MPV), platelet distribution width (PDW), and platelet large cell ratio (P-LCR), have a significant role in the discrimination between hyperdestructive thrombocytopenia and hypoproductive thrombocytopenia, and they can be of great help as they are routinely generated by automated cell counters. Objective In this study, we aimed to assess the sensitivity and specificity of these indices and set cutoff values that aid in the diagnosis of thrombocytopenia cause. Materials and methods We recruited 20 individuals as the control group and 80 thrombocytopenic patients, who were divided into two groups: group I ( n = 40) included newly diagnosed immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) patients (hyperdestructive thrombocytopenia), whereas group II ( n = 40) included hypoproductive thrombocytopenia patients. The MPV and platelet distribution width were derived from automated cell counter results. The P-LCR was ...

High-dose therapy in conjunction with autologous stem cell rescue can achieve a minimal disease state and improve disease-free survival for patients with myeloma and other hematologic malignancies. However, relapses are common due to the lack of an effective antitumor immune response to eliminate residual disease. In principle, the period following high-dose therapy should be conducive to the application of immunotherapy given the low tumor burden and the potential reduction in Treg populations. Unfortunately, following standard autologous transplants, the immune system is typically characterized by immune cell depletion and impaired immune cell function, which may persist for up to 4 to 10 years (32, 33).. In a previous randomized study, we found that a single infusion of ∼8 × 109 costimulated autologous T cells at day +12 after transplant accelerated the numerical and functional recovery of both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells and could provide help for vaccination during the early posttransplant ...

Lymphoma is the most common malignant tumor in the dog. It is a highly aggressive cancer and while most dogs achieve remission with chemotherapy treatment the lymphoma usually returns within a year and eventually leads to their death. The AKT/mTOR pathway is turned on in many forms of human cancer, including lymphosarcoma and other hematologic malignancies. In lymphoma its activation can keep cancer cells from dying. We have found that this pathway is active in both canine osteosarcoma and melanoma. We have also shown that this pathway can be blocked using the drug rapamycin. The goals of this study are to test for the presence of mTOR and activation of the AKT pathway in canine lymphoma and to see if the drug rapamycin can block this pathway and have effects on cellular proliferation, apoptosis and cell cycle kinetics.

Each organ or tumor is vascularized by a specialized endothelium. It is believed that transcription factors belonging to the Ets family, such as Ets variant 2 (ETV2), Fli1 and the Ets-related gene (Erg), make endothelial cells organ-specific. Endothelial cells are important niche cells for hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) and their use as feeder cells in culture allows the expansion of HSC by ~150-fold.1 As a refinement, a combination of reprogramming factors, including FBJ murine osteosarcoma viral oncogene homolog B (FOSB), growth factor independent 1 transcriptional repressor (GFI1), runt-related transcription factor 1 (RUNX1) and SPI1 (which encodes PU.1), can be combined with sustained vascular niche induction to generate HSC that are endowed with secondary repopulating activity.. However, a maladapted vascular niche can ...

Another name for blood cancer is hematologic cancer. The disease begins at Sister Marrow, which is a blood-forming factory. Blood cancer occurs when abnormal blood cells begin to grow uncontaminated and disrupt the normal functioning of the blood. The normal function is to fight infection and to produce new blood cells.. Blood Cancer Types. There are basically three types of blood cancer. Leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma.. Leukemia- The source of this blood cancer is blood and sister marrow. This disease occurs when the body produces abnormal white blood cells in large quantities and interferes with the ability of the sister marrow to form red blood cells and platelets.. Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma - The source of this cancer is the lymphocyte cells of the lymphatic system. This cell is a type of white blood cell that fights against infection.. Hodgkins lymphoma is a source of lymphocyte cells in the lymphatic system. Hodgkins lymphoma is characterized by an unusual lymphocyte called the ...
Cell biologist Ian Hitchcock works with biophysicists, microscopy experts, and clinicians - a successful collaboration that has led to the identification of a receptor blood stem cell that is essential for the development of haematological cancers. The discovery has led to £1.2 million in funding from Cancer Research UK and opens up the possibility of developing more precision targeted drugs; drugs that destroy malignant cells but leave healthy cells intact.. His story is all the more remarkable given the scale of the task - by the time you go to bed tonight your body will have created more new blood cells than there are stars in our galaxy. Discovering how this works and where it goes wrong is an astronomical challenge.. ...
Background Metastasis is a multi-step process that is responsible for the majority of deaths in malignancy patients. is usually activated by extracellular hsp90 and has a role in migration. Results We found that hsp90 is usually secreted in exosomes in invasive malignancy cells and it contributes to their invasive nature. We recognized a novel conversation between hsp90 and tissue plasminogen activator that together with annexin II, also found in exosomes, activates plasmin. Extracellular hsp90 promotes plasmin activation as well as increases plasmin dependent cell motility. Findings Our data indicate that hsp90 is usually released PRSS10 by invasive malignancy cells via exosomes and implicates hsp90 in activating plasmin, a second protease that functions in malignancy cell attack. Background Approximately 90% of malignancy deaths are not from the main tumor but due to metastasis to distant sites [1]. Current treatments do not target metastatic disease. Towards developing anti-metastasis drugs, ...

Professor Maurizio Longinotti passed away on the 15th of October 2013 after spending his professional life between patient care, teaching and research. Born in Predazzo, Trento, in north-east Italy, in 1943, he lived most of his life in Sassari, Sardinia, where he obtained his medical degree in 1968.. Amid a high-profile clinical practice, he dedicated a large part of his time to research. His studies made a huge contribution to our understanding of the molecular basis of thalassemias, especially within the Sardinian population, a population that has one of the highest prevalence rates for these diseases worldwide. He later focused on the analysis of the T-cell receptor repertoire in different conditions, ranging from hematologic neoplasms to various immune-mediated disorders. His achievements have been documented in a large number of publications in some of the most prestigious international scientific journals. For more than ten years, he was also the co-ordinator of the local section of the ...

The work that led to the discovery and functional characterization of BCL-2 family proteins relied on a variety of cell and molecular biology approaches, genetically engineered mouse models, and RNA interference-based methods. With the synthesis of the first validated BH3 mimetics, ABT-737 and navitoclax (6, 7), came the ability to inhibit BCL-2 and BCL-XL directly with cell-permeable small molecules, facilitating a host of new discoveries. Since its introduction, the BCL-2-selective inhibitor ABT-199/GDC-0199 (venetoclax) has been used to define the role of BCL-2 in specific hematopoietic lineages (32), a variety of hematologic cancers (25, 33-38), and even some solid tumors, including estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer (39). In addition, certain roles for BCL-XL have been deduced using a subtractive parsing method that compares the effects of ABT-737 or navitoclax to those of venetoclax (38, 40-42). For example, Bah and co-workers used ABT-737 and venetoclax to demonstrate that BCL-XL ...
