Human Polyomaviruses in Children Undergoing Transplantation, United States, 2008–2010
Immunocompromised patients are at risk for disease caused by infection by some polyomaviruses. To define the prevalence of polyomaviruses in children undergoing transplantation, we collected samples from a longitudinal cohort and tested for the 9 known ...

ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the impact of the time‐of‐day (daytime vs. nighttime) of the infusion of post‐transplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCy) on the occurrence of haemorrhagic cystitis (HC) in adult patients undergoing allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo‐HSCT).

Merkel cell carcinoma: an updated guide for pathologists
Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is an aggressive cutaneous neuroendocrine carcinoma for which the differential diagnosis can include other small cell malignancies (especially metastatic small cell carcinoma) or cutaneous carcinoma. Morphologic and immunophenotypic aberrancies in MCC can increase diagnostic challenge.

Abstract Background Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a treatment primarily for hematological malignancies. Infections, relapse, and graft versus host disease (GvHD) are some of the most common adverse events following HSCT. We aimed to evaluate whether the lymphocyte function of the stem cell graft was associated with these ...

ABSTRACT Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare, aggressive cutaneous neuroendocrine carcinoma that typically arises in sun‐exposed skin of older or immunosuppressed patients. Combined or collision tumors involving MCC and other cutaneous malignancies are uncommon, and tumors exhibiting more than two distinct malignant phenotypes are exceptionally rare.

ABSTRACT Background Merkel Cell Carcinoma (MCC) is a rare, aggressive neuroendocrine and epithelial skin cancer. Somatostatin analogues, such as lanreotide, have shown efficacy in managing other neuroendocrine tumors. Retrospective studies suggest that lanreotide may induce partial response or disease stabilization in patients with advanced MCC.
