Download or read book Fast Facts Blastic Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cell Neoplasm written by E. Deconinck and published by Karger Medical and Scientific Publishers. This book was released on 2021-02-12 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN) is a rare fast-growing hematodermic neoplasm that most often occurs in older men. It is notable for its highly aggressive behavior, with cutaneous, lymph node and bone marrow involvement. In the past, BPDCN has been poorly understood, recognized and treated, and consequently has had a poor prognosis. Today, it has been reclassified as a myeloid neoplasm and there is greater understanding of the disease’s clinical features, course and pathology, a new diagnostic test that makes prompt diagnosis possible and a new targeted therapy that, so far, has been shown to at least double survival. The complexity of caring for patients with BPDCN stems from both its rarity and its multiorgan involvement. 'Fast Facts: Blastic Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cell Neoplasm' is designed to bring hematologists, oncologists, dermatologists, pathologists, clinical nurse specialists and trainees in all these fields up to speed on the latest developments, as well as providing the most up-to-date information on first-line chemotherapy, consolidation treatments and stem cell transplantation. It will aid readers of all relevant medical disciplines to implement prompt diagnosis and effective management. Table of Contents: • What is BPDCN? Diagnosis • Management • Unmet needs and future directions

Download or read book Fast Facts Leukemia written by J. Loke and published by Karger Medical and Scientific Publishers. This book was released on 2022-03-02 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leukemia is a hematologic malignancy arising from hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) in the bone marrow. Starting with a detailed description of hematopoiesis and what goes wrong in leukemia, this concise guide covers all aspects of the four most common subtypes of the disease. Although the incidence and prevalence of leukemia are rising worldwide, survival rates are also increasing. However, both the effects of the disease and the adverse effects of treatment remain complex challenges. Yet, as our understanding of the molecular landscape increases, therapeutic options are becoming more personalized. This revised and updated second edition of 'Fast Facts: Leukemia' addresses the causes and risk factors for each subtype of leukemia, the initial and confirmatory diagnostic tests, and the latest treatment options. Designed as a comprehensive primer for physician assistants, nurse practitioners, primary care providers, oncology nurses, hematology/ oncology trainees and pharmacists, this resource will help the non-specialist and those in training to identify leukemia early and provide a thorough understanding of the pathology and genetic basis of the disease, treatment options, and effective approaches to emergency and supportive care. Table of Contents: • Understanding blood and its components • What is leukemia? • Epidemiology, etiology and risk factors • Diagnosis • Staging and general management • Supportive care • Emergencies in leukemia

Download or read book Fast Facts Cutaneous T cell Lymphoma written by P.L. Haun and published by Karger Medical and Scientific Publishers. This book was released on 2019-04-25 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) has been described as a 'great mimicker'. The correct diagnosis hinges on effective collaboration between clinicians and pathologists to correlate pathological and clinical findings. The patient's history, lesion description and diagnostic work-up will help the pathologist interpret the histopathology, whilst the clinician’s diagnosis is aided by a clear understanding the terminology used in the pathology report. The treatment of early and advanced mycosis fungoides and its variants is potentially lifelong, with patients typically cycling among treatments, interspersed with periods of expectant therapy providing palliation and symptomatic relief. Effective management requires knowledge of the wide range of options, how they are used, and their side-effect profile, in order to tailor treatment to the individual patient. ' Fast Facts: Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma' is designed to help primary care providers, dermatologists, and oncologists to communicate effectively with pathologists in the diagnosis of this chronic condition, aided by over 100 superb clinical and pathological images, and to provide tailored long-term care for their patients. This concise, practical handbook will ensure clear communication with respect to the clinical presentation, histopathology, immunophenotyping and treatment of: • early and advanced mycosis fungoides and its variants • Sézary syndrome • other non-mycosis fungoides CTCLs. It is essential reading for pathologists, non-specialist clinicians and dermatology and oncology trainees.
