Outcomes of haploidentical stem cell transplantation for chronic lymphocytic leukemia: a retrospective study on behalf of the chronic malignancies working party of the EBMT [PDF]
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) may result in long-term disease control in high-risk chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Recently, haploidentical HCT is gaining interest because of better outcomes with post-transplantation ...

Simultaneous Occurrence of Acute Myeloid Leukemia and Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia: A Case Report
Concurrent development of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is very rare. We present a case of simultaneous CLL and AML in a patient with no prior exposure to cytotoxic agents or irradiation.

The development of acute myelomonocytic leukemia in a patient with acute lymphocytic leukemia [PDF]
A diagnosis of acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) was made from a peripheral blood and bone marrow specimen from a 59-year-old woman. Typical-appearing lymphoblasts were positive for periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) reaction, but negative for peroxidase, Sudan black B (SBB) and non-specific esterase (NSE) stains. Lymphoblasts failed to form non-immune rosettes

Targeting the CXCR4 pathway using a novel anti-CXCR4 IgG1 antibody (PF-06747143) in chronic lymphocytic leukemia. [PDF]
BackgroundThe CXCR4-CXCL12 axis plays an important role in the chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)-microenvironment interaction. Overexpression of CXCR4 has been reported in different hematological malignancies including CLL.

Identification of Bruton's tyrosine kinase as a therapeutic target in acute myeloid leukemia [PDF]
Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) is a cytoplasmic protein found in all hematopoietic cell lineages except for T cells. BTK mediates signalling downstream of a number of receptors.
