Ecological effects of the North Atlantic Oscillation

Long-term survival and blast transformation in molecularly annotated essential thrombocythemia, polycythemia vera, and myelofibrosis

Key Points Survival in ET is superior to that of PV, regardless of mutational status, but remains inferior to the sex- and age-matched US population. JAK2/CALR/MPL mutational st...

Multifactorial Analysis of Differences Between Sporadic Breast Cancers and Cancers Involving BRCA1 and BRCA2 Mutations

Our study has identified key features of the histologic phenotypes of breast cancers in carriers of mutant BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. This information may improve the classification...

Double-blind controlled trial of oral clodronate in patients with bone metastases from breast cancer.

PURPOSE Osteolytic metastases often give rise to hypercalcemia, fracture, and bone pain, and occur commonly in patients with recurrent breast cancer. We assessed the bisphosphon...

Prognostic Score Including Gene Mutations in Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia

Purpose Several prognostic scoring systems have been proposed for chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML), a disease in which some gene mutations—including ASXL1—have been associ...

Cancer Survival Among US Whites and Minorities

Survival rates in patients with cancer have improved in recent years, but racial or ethnic differences in survival rates and in RRs of cancer death persist. Additional studies a...

Survival and Disease Progression in Essential Thrombocythemia Are Significantly Influenced by Accurate Morphologic Diagnosis: An International Study

Purpose The WHO diagnostic criteria underscore the role of bone marrow (BM) morphology in distinguishing essential thrombocythemia (ET) from early/prefibrotic primary myelofibro...
