Abstract

Studying the influence of additional chromosomal aberrations (ACAs) present at diagnosis on the outcome of adolescent and young adult (AYA) chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients as it has not been addressed previously. Eighty-six AYA CML patients have been analyzed for occurrence of ACAs at diagnosis through performing bone marrow karyotyping. All patients received imatinib mesylate upon diagnosis of CML. Overall response, molecular response, survival status, progression and occurrence of events were monitored during the follow up period. There was a statistically significant difference between patients with and without ACAs regarding overall response (P = 0.049). There was insignificant difference between the two groups regarding achievement of major molecular response (MMR) (P = 0.594), MR4 (P = 0.282) and MR4.5 (P = 0.704). There was a significant difference between patients with and without ACAs regarding time to MMR (P = 0.042) and time to MR4 (P = 0.048) but not regarding time to MR4.5 (P = 0.065). There was insignificant impact of ACAs at diagnosis on overall survival (P = 0.152), progression free survival (P = 0.112), failure free survival (P = 0.114), event free survival (P = 0.194) and alternative treatment free survival (P = 0.731). The presence of ACAs at diagnosis does not signal worse prognosis in AYA CML patients but it may delay molecular response to imatinib mesylate.

Polypen bei nahen Verwandten – erhöhtes Darmkrebsrisiko

Werden bei erstgradigen Verwandten gutartige Darmpolypen identifiziert, ist das Risiko, selbst an einem Kolorektalkarzinom zu erkranken, deutlich erhöht – vor allem das für eine früh beginnende Erkrankung. Hier könnte sich eine frühe Koloskopie besonders lohnen.

KI-gestütztes Mammografiescreening überzeugt im Praxistest

Mit dem Einsatz künstlicher Intelligenz lässt sich die Detektionsrate im Mammografiescreening offenbar deutlich steigern. Mehr unnötige Zusatzuntersuchungen sind laut der Studie aus Deutschland nicht zu befürchten.

Welche Krebserkrankungen bei Zöliakie häufiger auftreten

Eine große Kohortenstudie hat den Zusammenhang zwischen Zöliakie und gastrointestinalen Krebserkrankungen und inflammatorischen Krankheiten untersucht. Neben gastrointestinalen Tumoren ist auch ein nicht solider Krebs häufiger.

Adjuvanter PD-L1-Hemmer verhindert Rezidive bei Hochrisiko-Urothelkarzinom

Sind Menschen mit muskelinvasivem Urothelkarzinom für die neoadjuvante platinbasierte Therapie nicht geeignet oder sprechen sie darauf nicht gut an, ist Pembrolizumab eine adjuvante Alternative: Die krankheitsfreie Lebenszeit wird dadurch mehr als verdoppelt.
