Impact of Alloimmunization on Transfusion-Dependent Patients: Risks, Challenges, and Emerging Solutions
Introduction Red blood cell (RBC) transfusions remain a life-saving therapy for patients with thalassemia major and sickle cell disease (SCD), but repeated transfusions often lead to alloimmunization, a serious complication where the immune system attacks donor blood. This can cause delays, transfusion reactions, and increased mortality risks. Understanding the mechanisms and prevention strategies is crucial…

Elderly Multiple Myeloma Patients Benefit Equally from Stem Cell Transplantation: A New Perspective
Introduction Multiple Myeloma (MM) is a plasma cell malignancy affecting millions worldwide. While autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHSCT) is a standard treatment for eligible patients, concerns remain regarding its effectiveness in elderly individuals. However, new research suggests that patients over 70 years of age benefit equally from AHSCT compared to younger counterparts. Visit https://www.stemcelltherjournal.com/jsctt…

Fifteen-Year Follow-Up of Relapsed/Refractory Hodgkin Lymphoma Patients Treated with Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation
Introduction Hodgkin lymphoma is a highly treatable malignancy; however, a subset of patients experience relapse or refractory disease requiring further intervention. A recent study published in the Journal of Stem Cell Therapy and Transplantation provides a comprehensive 15-year follow-up analysis of relapsed/refractory patients treated with autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHSCT). The study sheds light…

Unraveling a Rare Chromosomal Abnormality in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
Introduction: Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) remains one of the most studied hematological malignancies due to its genetic complexity. A recent case study highlighted an unusual clonal chromosomal abnormality, der(17)t(11;17)(q24;p13)inv(11)(q13;q23), in a patient with CLL, which sheds new light on genetic instability in leukemia progression.

Pure Red Cell Aplasia – Post Major ABO Incompatible Allogenic Stem Cell Transplantation: Role of Ibrutinib
Introduction: Pure Red Cell Aplasia (PRCA) is a recognized complication following major ABO-incompatible allogeneic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Characterized by anemia, reticulocytopenia, and the absence of erythroblasts in the bone marrow, PRCA can significantly impact patient outcomes. Recent research explores Ibrutinib as a novel therapeutic option for managing PRCA post-HSCT, showing promising results in restoring…
