Pure Red Cell Aplasia Associated With Thymic Tumors, a Nationwide Retrospective Study.

Pure red cell aplasia (PRCA) is the most frequent autoimmune cytopenia associated with thymic tumors (TTs). In a nationwide retrospective study, we included 41 patients (22 women, median age 62 years). At PRCA diagnosis, the mean hemoglobin level was 6.

Evaluating a predictive model of tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy failure in a European-type cohort: a step towards population-specific tools.

Predicting therapeutic failure in patients with chronic phase-chronic myeloid leukemia (CP-CML) treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) remains a major challenge for personalized care management. The Sokal and EUTOS long-term survival scores were designed to predict CML-related mortality, but are also used to guide therapeutic choices, despite their poor performance for this purpose. A recent study proposed a refined predictive model of therapy failure specifically tailored for patients treated with imatinib and second-generation TKIs that showed promising results in a Chinese cohort.
