The oral selective inhibitor of nuclear export could provide a new therapeutic avenue in daratumumab-naive patients with relapsing refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM).

New research attempts to answer some of the mystery related to the causes and impact of hypercalcemia in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma.

The risk of leukemia is higher for people living near petroleum industry complexes, according to a new analysis of 13 studies of the issue.

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells can be highly effective, but the durability of the therapy has been lacking in many patients with hematological malignancies. Many efforts are underway to fix this problem.

New research suggests it’s not disruptive to give radiation therapy to patients who are awaiting CAR T-cell therapy for relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.

In what is believed to be the first study of its kind, investigators found patients with leukemia face a higher risk of suicide than the general public, especially if they had acute myeloid leukemia.

Patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma often receive twice-weekly triplet regimens of carfilzomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone (KRd). New data suggest less frequent dosing can be equally successful.

A new study suggests a potential new marker that could be used to track response to therapy and disease progression in patients with multiple myeloma.

Many patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) who undergo chemotherapy end up back in the hospital within 30 days. A new study points out the reasons and opportunities for prevention.

There did not appear to be any particular patient characteristics linked with best responses to carfilzomib in patients with multiple myeloma, with the exception of low serum lactate dehydrogenase.

Up until now, it was thought most patients with hemophilia A developed inhibitors in middle-age. A new study suggests it usually happens in the early teens.

Newer therapies have led to a boost in the number of patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (R/R MM) who are prescribed triplet regimens. As that shift has occurred, death rates appear to have dropped.

Previous research has found a link between a prior malignancy and secondary primary malignancy risk in patients with multiple myeloma. A new study suggests a similar association in follicular lymphoma.

A 72-year-old patient with Burkitt lymphoma was successfully treated with nivolumab after standard-of-care chemotherapy failed.

New data show that despite major improvements in survival rates in patients with multiple myeloma (MM), older patients with the malignancy have benefited less than younger patients.

Investigators may have found a minimally invasive way to predict which patients with multiple myeloma are about to experience a relapse.

T-cell prolymphocytic leukemia is rare and shares many features with other conditions. A new review article helps explain some of the tactics physicians can use to correctly identify it.

Newly published data suggests most patients are opting for second- or third-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors instead of a generic form of imatinib.

A new report confirms earlier research that colon perforation in multiple myeloma is associated with corticosteroids, though the exact cause of the apparent link is not known.

Newly diagnosed patients with multiple myeloma (MM) face a high risk of infection. A new study helps elucidate key risk factors.

The process of approving a new therapy for relapsing and/or remitting mantle cell lymphoma therapy got off to a faster start in China, but United States regulators caught up and approved the drug first.

A patient with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) was continued on ibrutinib even after developing severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). He successfully overcame the infection.

A new review article said there are hurdles to bringing minimal residual disease (MRD) into the clinic as a decision-making tool, but the day is likely not far away.

Research into children and adolescents with nonremission acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) has been sparse, but a new analysis suggests that allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is a good fit for some patients.

A subset of patients with multiple myeloma (MM) are not eligible for the most effective therapies, but a new study suggests clinicians may be inaccurately defining that subset.

Patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) who have an ABL-class fusion had better outcomes than a control group when treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors at their first relapse, according to a new study.

Proteasome inhibitors have brought major advances in the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM), but eventual drug resistance remains a serious hurdle.

A new chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy may help curb the problem of frequent relapse in patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

A study of patients with multiple myeloma in China found many do not have access to a caregiver and most have to travel to another city to receive treatment.

Sickle cell disease is a costly disease for patients, but when those patients suffer from end-organ damage, the costs jump significantly.
