Abstract

Extramedullary relapses after allogeneic stem cell transplantation, especially within the central nervous system (CNS), are not only difficult to treat but also associated with poor outcome. Although the graft-versus-leukemia (GvL) effect is nowadays accepted and well documented, it remains controversial whether one can make use of GvL effects in immunological-restricted areas (“sanctuary sites”) like the central nervous system. Here, we present data of three hematological patients suffering from isolated CNS relapse of CML or AML after allogeneic stem cell transplantation. Patients received in addition to chemotherapy intrathecal infusions of donor lymphocytes by CD14 depletion of peripheral blood mononuclear cells from the correspondent allogeneic donor. Referring to an observation period of maximum 17 months no immediate or delayed side effects could be detected.

Mehr Lebenszeit mit Abemaciclib bei fortgeschrittenem Brustkrebs?

24.05.2024 Mammakarzinom Nachrichten

In der MONARCHE-3-Studie lebten Frauen mit fortgeschrittenem Hormonrezeptor-positivem, HER2-negativem Brustkrebs länger, wenn sie zusätzlich zu einem nicht steroidalen Aromatasehemmer mit Abemaciclib behandelt wurden; allerdings verfehlte der numerische Zugewinn die statistische Signifikanz.

ADT zur Radiatio nach Prostatektomie: Wenn, dann wohl länger

24.05.2024 Prostatakarzinom Nachrichten

Welchen Nutzen es trägt, wenn die Strahlentherapie nach radikaler Prostatektomie um eine Androgendeprivation ergänzt wird, hat die RADICALS-HD-Studie untersucht. Nun liegen die Ergebnisse vor. Sie sprechen für länger dauernden Hormonentzug.

„Überwältigende“ Evidenz für Tripeltherapie beim metastasierten Prostata-Ca.

22.05.2024 Prostatakarzinom Nachrichten

Patienten mit metastasiertem hormonsensitivem Prostatakarzinom sollten nicht mehr mit einer alleinigen Androgendeprivationstherapie (ADT) behandelt werden, mahnt ein US-Team nach Sichtung der aktuellen Datenlage. Mit einer Tripeltherapie haben die Betroffenen offenbar die besten Überlebenschancen.
