Abstract
In this explorative study we aimed to identify inflammatory serum proteins measured before allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) that are associated with acute Graft-versus-Host Disease (aGvHD) and mortality in pediatric HSCT recipients. We measured 28 inflammatory serum proteins in 384 pediatric patients (2010–2022) with malignant (30%) and non-malignant (70%)…

Veronica learned that delaying treatment was not a good idea.
That delay nearly ended her life.
In 2018, Veronica was a busy mom, working full time, leaving the house at 5:30 a.m., returning at 5:30 p.m. She stayed healthy by working and staying active. She is a busy mom of two young children, and all the normal activities of modern life. One day, she thought she caught a bad flu, so…

ABSTRACT
Patients (pts) with myelodysplasia-related AML (MR-AML) are now genetically recategorized, with three different groups in the International Consensus Classification: AML with mutated TP53 (TP53-AML), with myelodysplasia-related gene mutations (MR-GM AML), and with myelodysplasia-related cytogenetic abnormalities (MR-CG AML). Moreover, TP53-AML is determined by the presence of an…

I have honestly been frustrated lately. I am slowing down increasingly, and it has even become noticeable to others. I wrote an article in November about how nice it was to slow down and smell the roses. But now it seems like too much.
In my previous life (before cancer), I moved steadily and effortlessly from working all day to classes at night. I could hurry up by running late and still be on…
