Immunotherapy delivered by Blinatumomab improves survival in acute lymphoblastic leukaemia patients
Adult patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) can achieve disease control in 90% of cases with intense chemotherapy but only half of these responders will be cured.
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.

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…
Restoring Effective Anti-Tumor Response in Hodgkin Lymphoma with Nivolumab
Hodgkin Lymphoma typically affects young men and women in their 30s. Although it is highly curable with the current combination of chemo and radiation therapy, approximately 20% of patients will not be cured with first line regimens.

A new form of inherited thrombocytopenia (ETV6-related thrombocytopenia, ETV6-RT): NEVER JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER!
We recently discovered a new form of an inherited deficiency of platelets (inherited thrombocytopenia-IT), which is caused by mutations in the ETV6-gene.
PRESS 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…

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.

Abstract S722
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a rare type of blood cancer which is mainly treated by intensive chemotherapy.
Pivotal Ruxolitinib Data Shows Promise for Patients with PV.
Polycythemia vera (PV) is a chronic, incurable blood cancer with limited treatment options. If uncontrolled, PV can cause serious cardiovascular complications, such as stroke and heart attack.
