New immunotherapy in the initial setting shows improved outcomes in ALL

Prior treatment for newly diagnosed acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in adults has included multiple chemotherapy regimens for several decades, and has induced remission in most patients.1 Unfortunately, these remissions are usually not long-lasting, and many patients eventually relapse and require additional treatment.2-4 Since 2010, several new highly active therapies have been approved for relapsed ALL, …

Detection of trace elements in liquids improved by a new spectroscopy technique

Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is a rapid chemical analysis technology that is well developed for the analysis of trace elements in gases, liquids, and solids. It uses a high power laser pulse to induce a short duration high temperature plasma in the sample. As the plasma cools, it emits spectral peaks corresponding to the elements …

Referral of responders with chemosensitive relapsed/refractory DLBCL to HCT associated with improved OS

Referral of patients with relapsed/refractory chemotherapy-sensitive diffuse B-cell lymphoma who achieved a partial or better response to transplantation resulted in improved overall survival compared with those who underwent additional lines of therapy. Patients with chemotherapy-sensitive relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) who have achieved a partial response (PR) or complete response (CR) and are referred …
