A two-day meeting on controversial topics in hematopathology was held in Bologna, Italy, on 19–20 January 2024. The meeting primarily targeted pathologists lacking experience in hematological neoplasms and pathologists in training. The course a...
Background: Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an autosomal recessive haemoglobin disorder, affecting about 7.74 million individuals worldwide, but it is more prevalent among Africans and Asians. SCD is characterised by many complications, and it is a majo...
Background: B-cell receptor (BCR) signaling is a central driver in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), along with the activation of pro-survival pathways (e.g., NF-κB) and aberrant anti-apoptotic mechanisms (e.g., BCL2) culminating to CLL cell...
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a hereditary blood disorder characterized by abnormal hemoglobin, leading to the sickle shape of red blood cells. It has several vascular complications and the cerebrovascular ones are among the most frequent and severe b...
Background: In the last two decades, tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) and advances in molecular diagnostics have revolutionized management and long-term clinical outcomes in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Real-world data from different countries al...
Refractoriness to standard first-line therapy in immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) should foster additional diagnostic work-up to exclude hematological clonal disease, mostly myelodysplatic syndrome (MDS) or clonal cytopenia of unknown significance (CCUS...
We present a case of adult-onset systemic chronic active EBV disease (CAEBV) in a 40-year-old woman with chronic HBV hepatitis. Initial symptoms resembled a viral illness, progressing to recurrent fever, transaminitis, and anasarca. Investigations re...
Diagnosis of myeloid neoplasm is currently performed according to the presence of a predetermined set of clinical, morphological, and molecular diagnostic criteria agreed upon by a consensus of experts. Even strictly adhering to these criteria, it is...
Monoclonal antibody (MoAb) therapy has been increasingly used in recent years for hematologic malignancies. The MoAbs anti-CD38 and anti-CD47 are immunoglobulins directed against epitopes that are highly expressed not only on cancer cells, but also o...
