We compared relapse incidence (RI) post-unrelated transplantation with post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) versus no PTCy graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis, in 7049 acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients in remission, 707 with PTCy, and 6342 without (No PTCy). The patients in the PTCy group were younger, 52.7 versus 56.6 years (p < .001). There were more 9/10 donors in the PTCy group, 33.8% versus 16.4% (p < .001), and more received myeloablative conditioning, 61.7% versus 50.2% (p < .001). In the No PTCy group, 87.7% of patients received in vivo T-cell depletion. Neutrophil and platelet engraftment were lower in the PTCy versus No PTCy group, 93.8% and 80.9% versus 97.6% and 92.6% (p < .001). RI was not significantly different in the PTCy versus the No PTCy group, hazard ratio (HR) of 1.11 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.9-1.37) (p = .31). Acute GVHD grades II-IV and III-IV, were significantly lower in the PTCy versus the No PTCy group, HR of 0.74 (95% CI 0.59-0.92, p = .007) and HR = 0.56 (95% CI 0.38-0.83, p = .004), as were total and extensive chronic GVHD, HRs of 0.5 (95% CI 0.41-0.62, p < .001) and HR = 0.31 (95% CI 0.22-0.42, p < .001). Non-relapse mortality (NRM) was significantly lower with PTCy versus the No PTCy group, HR of 0.67 (95% CI 0.5-0.91, p = .007). GVHD-free, relapse-free survival (GRFS) was higher in the PTCy versus the No PTCy group, HR of 0.69 (95% CI 0.59-0.81, p = .001). Leukemia-free survival (LFS) and overall survival (OS) did not differ between the groups. In summary, we observed comparable RI, OS, and LFS, significantly lower incidences of GVHD and NRM, and significantly higher GRFS in AML patients undergoing unrelated donor-hematopoietic stem cell transplantation with PTCy versus No PTCy GVHD prophylaxis.

Previous studies have shown that the pre-transplant C-reactive protein (CRP)/platelet ratio (CP ratio) is a predictor of survival. The aim of this multicenter retrospective study was to evaluate the clinical significance of CP ratio in patients with malignant lymphoma (ML) who underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHCT). The cohort included patients with ML who underwent first alloHCT from 2007 to 2021.

Rationale: Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer affecting women worldwide, caused by persistent infection with oncogenic human papillomavirus (HPV) types. While HPV infections usually resolve spontaneously, persistent infections with high-risk HPV types can progress to premalignant glandular or - mostly - squamous intraepithelial lesions, usually classified in cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). Women with CIN 2 and CIN 3 (i.

Background: Hypofractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (fSRT) is increasingly used for brain metastases (BMs) from non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, relevant data concerning treatment outcomes of fSRT and clinical utility of re-irradiation using fSRT (re-fSRT) remain scarce.
Methods: Consecutive NSCLC patients with fSRT-treated BMs from May 2018 to May 2022 were included.

Background: Multiple myeloma (MM) remains a formidable clinical challenge due to its high relapse rate and resistance to existing therapies. Estrogen-related receptor gamma (ERRγ), a nuclear receptor critical for cellular energy metabolism, has been implicated in various cancers. but its role in MM remains unclear.

Background: The recurrence of arrhythmia following catheter ablation of macro-reentrant atrial tachycardia (MRAT) in repaired tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF) is poorly understood.
Objective: To better describe the incidence, mechanisms, and predictors of recurrent atrial arrhythmia following MRAT ablation in rTOF.
Methods: Patients with rTOF ≥18 years of age who underwent radiofrequency ablation for MRAT (typical/cavotricuspid isthmus-dependent atrial flutter, incisional/scar-mediated MRAT, upper and lower-loop reentry, or left atrial MRAT) at Duke University Hospital from 1996 to 2023 were identified.
