EurekAlert! – Breaking News- Genomic features of AML in patients over age 60 can predict success of stem cell transplantFor older patients with AML, the prospects for success of a stem cell transplant can often be predicted based on the particular set of genetic mutations within the tumor cells, investigators at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute will report at the ASH Annual Meeting.
- Lymphoma patients may have new path to remission, even when CAR T therapy failsA new, experimental immunotherapy can put patients with B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) that is resistant to or has come back after multiple other therapies, including CAR T therapy, into remission.
- E1912 follow-up shows ibrutinib effective, well tolerated by majority of CLL patientsThe ECOG-ACRIN Cancer Research Group today announced results from extended follow-up of patients in its randomized Phase 3 clinical trial, E1912. Previously untreated patients (aged 70 or younger) with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) who received ibrutinib-based therapy lived longer and with sustained benefit, compared to standard FCR chemoimmunotherapy. The updated analysis supports the earlier trial […]
- Use of venetoclax in transplant conditioning regimen shows promise in myeloid cancersFor patients with high-risk myeloid cancers undergoing a donor stem cell transplant, adding the targeted drug venetoclax to a reduced-intensity drug regimen prior to transplant is safe and does not impair the ability of the donor cells to take root in recipients' bodies.
- Women, exercise and longevityWomen who can exercise vigorously are at significantly lower risk of dying from heart disease, cancer and other causes. The research is presented today at EuroEcho 2019, a scientific congress of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC).
