Renal disease associated with myeloproliferative neoplasms and myelodysplastic syndrome/myeloproliferative neoplasms
2020
Aims Renal changes in patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS)/MPNs have been addressed by few, respectively no, reports. The aim of this study was to focus on a systematic evaluation of renal biopsies in patients with MPNs or MDS/MPNs. Methods and results The cohort comprised 29 patients (23 men) aged 67 ± 11 years (mean ± standard deviation), diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukaemia (n = 5), polycythaemia vera (n = 9), primary myelofibrosis (n = 5), essential thrombocythaemia (n = 2), or chronic myelomonocytic leukaemia (n = 4), as well as MPNs or MDS/MPNs not otherwise specified (n = 4). Patients manifested with proteinuria (93%), partially in t…
Survival of European patients diagnosed with myeloid malignancies: a HAEMACARE study
2013
Population-based information on the survival of patients with myeloid malignancies is rare mainly because some entities were not recognized as malignant until the publication of the third revision of the International Classification of Diseases for Oncology and World Health Organization classification in 2000. In this study we report the survival of patients with myeloid malignancies, classified by updated criteria, in Europe. We analyzed 58,800 cases incident between 1995 to 2002 in 48 population-based cancer registries from 20 European countries, classified into HAEMACARE myeloid malignancy groupings. The period approach was used to estimate 5-year relative survival in 2000-2002. The rela…
TET2 gene mutation is a frequent and adverse event in chronic myelomonocytic leukemia
2009
Background Acquired somatic deletions and loss-of-function mutations in one or several codons of the TET2 ( Ten-Eleven Translocation-2 ) gene were recently identified in hematopoietic cells from patients with myeloid malignancies, including myeloproliferative disorders and myelodys-plastic syndromes. The present study was designed to determine the prevalence of TET2 gene alterations in chronic myelomonocytic leukemias. Design and Methods Blood and bone marrow cells were collected from 88 patients with chronic phase chronic myelomonocytic leukemia and from 14 with acute transformation of a previously identified disease. Polymerase chain reaction analysis and direct sequencing were used to se…
Incidence of hematologic malignancies in Europe by morphologic subtype: Results of the HAEMACARE project
2010
AbstractChanging definitions and classifications of hematologic malignancies (HMs) complicate incidence comparisons. HAEMACARE classified HMs into groupings consistent with the latest World Health Organization classification and useful for epidemiologic and public health purposes. We present crude, age-specific and age-standardized incidence rates for European HMs according to these groupings, estimated from 66 371 lymphoid malignancies (LMs) and 21 796 myeloid malignancies (MMs) registered in 2000-2002 by 44 European cancer registries, grouped into 5 regions. Age-standardized incidence rates were 24.5 (per 100 000) for LMs and 7.55 for MMs. The commonest LMs were plasma cell neoplasms (4.6…

Incidence, survival and prevalence of myeloid malignancies in Europe.
2012
Abstract Background The Surveillance of Rare Cancers in Europe (RARECARE) project aims at increasing knowledge of rare cancers in Europe. This manuscript describes the epidemiology of myeloid malignancies (MMs), taking into account the morphological characterisation of these tumours. Methods We used data gathered by RARECARE on cancer patients diagnosed from 1995 to 2002 and archived in 64 European population-based cancer registries, followed up to 31st December 2003 or later. Results The overall annual crude incidence of MMs was 8.6 per 100,000. Acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) and myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) were most common, with incidence rates of 3.7 and 3.1 per 100,000 year respec…
