Young researchers to benefit from EHA training and mentoring
Participation in EHA-CRTH will allow these researchers to fine-tune the skills and knowledge required to successfully design, run and complete clinical trials.
Read moreEHA-funded study in The Lancet Haematology: Economic Burden of Blood Disorders in EU is €23 billion
In Europe blood disorders affect around 80 million people. The total cost of blood disorders consists of healthcare expenditure (€15. 6 billion), productivity loss due to illness and mortality (€5. 6 billion), and the costs of informal care (€1.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is an aggressive form of blood cancer in which the majority of cases express CD33 on the surface of the leukemia cells.
Read moreKiller antibodies against AML
Most patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) can only be cured when a stem cell transplant induces an immune response against the patient’s leukemia.
Read moreThe root of evil: pre-leukemic clones that survive chemotherapy are linked to a higher risk of leukemia recurrence
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is an aggressive form of blood cancer. Treatment with intensive chemotherapy often leads to a period of freedom from overt disease called a remission. However, recurrence of the disease is common.
Read morePRESS RELEASE: The future of research in hematology is here
“For the first time, hematologists in Europe came together to develop a roadmap to guide hematology research in Europe” says Professor Andreas Engert, chair of the EHA Research Roadmap Task Force, “Hematology in Europe has achieved a lot, but the discipline must focus and…
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).
