Smokers with myelodysplastic syndromes or a precursor condition had elevated levels of genetic mutations linked to the disease. The study also found that heavier smokers accumulated more mutations, and long-term smokers were more likely to show disease progression.
Patients with multiple myeloma are living longer thanks to a host of new immunotherapies and targeted drugs. But there is still no cure for the disease. Physician-scientists at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center are working to change that, and will present research findings at the 2024 annual meeting of the American Society of Hematology (ASH).
Three clinical trials led by researchers from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center demonstrated significant positive results from novel triplet therapies in the treatment of relapsed or refractory and newly diagnosed leukemias. The results were presented at the 66th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting and Exposition. More information on all ASH Annual Meeting content from MD Anderson can be found at MDAnderson.org/ASH.
About a third of patients with diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL), a fast-growing form of lymphoma, will see their disease advance or recur following treatment. Seeking a new treatment strategy that might boost the effectiveness of existing DLBCL therapies, a team from Roswell Park has been working to understand the underlying mechanisms of the targeted chemotherapy venetoclax. Their findings, to be presented during a talk today at the 66th annual meeting of the American Society of Hematology (ASH) in San Diego, California, provide strong preclinical evidence that adding venetoclax to standard treatment may improve outcomes in patients with treatment-resistant B-cell lymphomas.
As the school year winds up, thousands of Aussie kids are looking forward to the summer holidays. But hand-in hand with this freedom comes an abundance of screentime, unhealthy snacks, and a lack of routine, and it has the potential to affect children’s physical and mental health.
A study sheds new light on how Toxoplasma gondii parasites make the proteins they need to enter a dormant stage that allows them to escape drug treatment.
Adult patients with newly diagnosed malignancy-associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (mHLH) – a rare, aggressive hyperinflammatory condition – who were treated with the first-in-class monoclonal antibody, ELA026, experienced a 100% response rate and an improved survival rate at two months, according to researchers from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.
More than just a holiday gathering, this free, family-friendly event marked the culmination of a year-long appeal that raised $255,000 to provide 1,350 life-saving cancer screenings in our Borderplex community. Every dollar from event sponsorships will directly support cancer screenings and diagnostics, emphasizing the transformative impact of early detection and care.
