Article Abstract

Background: The addition of a FLT3 inhibitor (FLT3i) to standard chemotherapy to treat fit newly diagnosed (ND) patients with FLT3-mutated acute myeloid leukemia (AML) represents the standard of care resulting from clinical trial results. However, evidence regarding FLT3i adoption in routine clinical practice is still scarce.

Methods: Clinical data are reported from 394 ND patients with FLT3-mutated AML enrolled in the retrospective observational Italian Cohort Study on FLT3-mutated patients with AML and treated with an upfront intensive regimen with (FLT3i group, n = 92) or without (CT group, n = 302) the addition of a FLT3i.

Results: With a median follow-up time of 34.5 months, an effectiveness benefit obtained by FLT3i incorporation both in terms of overall survival (median, 34.9 in the FLT3i vs 12.7 months in the CT group, p < .01) and relapse-free survival (median, 18.9 in the FLT3i vs 7.6 months in the CT group, p = .01) was documented, with a higher composite complete remission rate (75.4% in the FLT3i vs 62.4% in the CT group, p = .052). FLT3i benefit seemed to be independent from the transplant rate.

Conclusions: In conclusion, the benefit of FLT3i addition to upfront intensive treatment in newly diagnosed FLT3-mutated AML patients was confirmed in a large, real-life cohort study.

Intensive Lipid-Lowering Therapy Following Acute Coronary Syndrome: The Earlier the Better.

J Cardiovasc Dev Dis

August 2025

Division of Cardiology and CardioLab, Department of Clinical Sciences and Translational Medicine, University of Rome Tor Vergata, 00133 Rome, Italy.

Elevated levels of atherogenic lipoproteins are known to be associated with an increased risk of incident and recurrent cardiovascular events. Knowing that the immediate post-acute coronary syndrome (ACS) period is associated with the maximum risk of recurrent events, the gradual escalation of therapy allows the patient to remain above the targets during the most vulnerable period. In addition, the percentage of lipid-lowering levels for each class of drugs is predictable and has a ceiling.

Prospective Assessment of Clinically Relevant Fluid Balance Thresholds Associated With Postoperative Complications in Advanced Ovarian Cancer.

Acta Anaesthesiol Scand

October 2025

Department of Women's and Children's Health, Division of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Karolinska Institutet, and Department of Pelvic Cancer, Theme Cancer, Karolinska University Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden.

Background: Reliable data on optimal fluid management in the perioperative period for patients with advanced ovarian cancer undergoing cytoreductive surgery is limited. These patients often present with malignant ascites and are prone to significant fluid shifts perioperatively. For this reason, our objective was to define clinical targets for optimal fluid balance and determine whether initial ascites should be included in fluid-loss calculations by examining the association between perioperative fluid balance and major postoperative complications.

Background: Treatments for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) include PH-specific pharmacotherapy (PHSP), balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA), and pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA). We evaluated a sequential multimodal strategy (SMS) combining PHSP, BPA, and PEA in selected high-surgical-risk patients with distal lesions in one lung and proximal lesions in the other.

Methods: In this prospective observational study, patients were selected to the SMS by a multidisciplinary panel, based on hemodynamic severity, location of lesions, and comorbidity profile.

Importance: Although tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) have been implicated as prognostic biomarkers across various malignancies, the clinical application remains challenging. This study evaluated the applicability of artificial intelligence (AI)-powered spatial mapping of TIL density for prognostic assessment in resected pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).

Objective: To evaluate the prognostic significance of AI-powered spatial TIL analysis in resected PDAC and its clinical applicability.
