Highlight
The 10-year incidence of non-cutaneous SM (6.8%) confirms its impact on late NRM.
SM subtype distribution and timing vary by transplant: t-MDS/AML after auto-HCT, PTLD early after allo-HCT.
PTLD declined markedly, nearly disappearing in the PTCy era with less ATG/Cord blood.
PTCy-based GVHD prophylaxis was not linked to higher solid tumor risk.

Key Points
Timely manufacture of VCAR33, a donor-derived CD33-directed CAR T, was feasible in patients with relapsed/refractory AML after alloHCT.
VCAR33 had an acceptable safety profile at doses up to 3 × 106 cells/kg and demonstrated antileukemic activity with a response rate of 20%.

Abstract
Acute leukemia of ambiguous lineage (ALAL) is a rare, high-risk form of acute leukemia. It is characterized by the inability to assign a single lineage of differentiation to the leukemia and can manifest with more than one lineage-defining marker, called mixed phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL), or the complete absence of such markers, defined as acute undifferentiated leukemia (AUL).…

Key Points:
Many patients and caregivers associate early palliative care (EPC) with hospice or death, a misperception that may persist even after gaining a better understanding of the role of EPC and may prevent them from experiencing the benefits of EPC.
Cultural or religious beliefs about illness and death may further influence views of EPC, and clinicians must engage in culturally sensitive…

ABSTRACT
Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) is an effective treatment for patients with high-risk hematologic malignancies. Over the last decade, gut microbiota composition during allo-HCT has been associated with patients' outcomes. Treatment-related factors, in particular the use of broad-spectrum

It works by reducing the amount of methylation in the body. Methylation is a process that acts like a switch to turn off or “silence” genes in certain cells. When these genes (called tumor suppressor genes) are turned off, MDS cells and cancer cells can grow freely.…
