Stopping tyrosine kinase inhibitors in a very large cohort of European chronic myeloid leukemia patients: results of the EURO-SKI trial
Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) have substantially improved survival in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase. However, treatment is in clinical practice considered life-long.

Major bleeding in patients on treatment with NOACs or VKAs in real-life: clinical presentation, management and outcome
Limited data are available on major bleeding (MB) occurring during treatment with vitamin K (VKAs) or non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs) outside clinical…

Read moreNovel basis for chemoresistance in AML: DNMT3A R882 mutations promote chemoresistance and residual disease through impaired DNA damage sensing
Although most acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients initially respond to chemotherapy, the majority subsequently relapses and succumbs to refractory disease. Residual leukemic cells that survived chemotherapy may persist over time and later cause the disease to come back.
Read moreFirst randomized evidence for kinase inhibitor activity in acute myeloid leukemia
Despite the success of tyrosine kinase inhibitors in some forms of leukemias such as chronic myeloid leukemia and acute lymphoblastic leukemia, until now a kinase inhibitor had yet to demonstrate activity in acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

About the EHA Annual Congress
Hematology is a specialty that covers everything to do with blood: its origin in the bone marrow, diseases of blood and their treatments.
Major research funding calls are out now
First, the Innovative Medicines Initiative published its final call under the EU Seventh Framework Programme. Interestingly for hematologists, the call includes a project called ‘Blood-based biomarker assays for personalized tumour therapy: value of circulating biomarkers’.
