stem cell transplant (AHSCT) in the favorable and adverse risk groups, respectively. In the current study, we share our 14 years’ real-life experience in 1123 consecutive and cytogenetically annotated adult AML patients seen at the Mayo Clinic. Our objectives were (1) to describe clinical ...
B-cell malignancies are the most frequent hematologic cancers and include a heterogeneous group of more than 40 malignancies caused by the uncontrolled proliferation of B-cells [1]. Not only are they the hematologic cancer most frequently diagnosed globally, with 544,000 cases of non-Hodgkin lympho...
