International recommendations for screening and preventative practices for long-term survivors of transplantation and cellular therapy: a 2023 update. Bone Marrow Transplant 2024; 59:717-741. [PMID: 38413823 DOI: 10.1038/s41409-023-02190-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2023] [Revised: 12/08/2023] [Accepted: 12/19/2023] [Indexed: 02/29/2024]
Abstract
As hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) and cellular therapy expand to new indications and international access improves, the volume of HCT performed annually continues to rise. Parallel improvements in HCT techniques and supportive care entails more patients surviving long-term, creating further emphasis on survivorship needs. Survivors are at risk for developing late complications secondary to pre-, peri- and post-transplant exposures and other underlying risk-factors. Guidelines for screening and preventive practices for HCT survivors were originally published in 2006 and updated in 2012. To review contemporary literature and update the recommendations while considering the changing practice of HCT and cellular therapy, an international group of experts was again convened. This review provides updated pediatric and adult survivorship guidelines for HCT and cellular therapy. The contributory role of chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) to the development of late effects is discussed but cGVHD management is not covered in detail. These guidelines emphasize special needs of patients with distinct underlying HCT indications or comorbidities (e.g., hemoglobinopathies, older adults) but do not replace more detailed group, disease, or condition specific guidelines. Although these recommendations should be applicable to the vast majority of HCT recipients, resource constraints may limit their implementation in some settings.

Serial Quantitation of Plasma Microbial Cell-Free DNA Before and After Diagnosis of Pulmonary Invasive Mold Infections After Hematopoietic Cell Transplant. J Infect Dis 2024; 229:576-587. [PMID: 37405403 DOI: 10.1093/infdis/jiad255] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2023] [Revised: 06/22/2023] [Accepted: 07/03/2023] [Indexed: 07/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Plasma microbial cell-free DNA sequencing (mcfDNA-Seq) is a noninvasive test for microbial diagnosis of invasive mold infection (IMI). The utility of mcfDNA-Seq for predicting IMI onset and the clinical implications of mcfDNA concentrations are unknown. METHODS We retrospectively tested plasma from hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) recipients with pulmonary IMI and ≥1 mold identified by mcfDNA-Seq in plasma collected within 14 days of clinical diagnosis. Samples collected from up to 4 weeks before and 4 weeks after IMI diagnosis were evaluated using mcfDNA-Seq. RESULTS Thirty-five HCT recipients with 39 IMIs (16 Aspergillus and 23 non-Aspergillus infections) were included. Pathogenic molds were detected in 38%, 26%, 11%, and 0% of samples collected during the first, second, third, and fourth week before clinical diagnosis, respectively. In non-Aspergillus infections, median mcfDNA concentrations in samples collected within 3 days of clinical diagnosis were higher in infections with versus without extrapulmonary spread (4.3 vs 3.3 log10 molecules per microliter [mpm], P = .02), and all patients (8/8) with mcfDNA concentrations >4.0 log10 mpm died within 42 days after clinical diagnosis. CONCLUSIONS Plasma mcfDNA-Seq can identify pathogenic molds up to 3 weeks before clinical diagnosis of pulmonary IMI. Plasma mcfDNA concentrations may correlate with extrapulmonary spread and mortality in non-Aspergillus IMI.

Arthritis Care Res (Hoboken) 2023; 75:2022-2031. [PMID: 36625100 DOI: 10.1002/acr.25087] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/10/2022] [Revised: 12/20/2022] [Accepted: 01/05/2023] [Indexed: 01/11/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare obstetric/birth outcomes and rehospitalization among women with and without rheumatoid arthritis (RA) or systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and their infants. METHODS This population-based retrospective cohort study identified women with RA (n = 1,223) and SLE (n = 1,354) and unexposed women with singleton births 1987-2014 in Washington State in linked vital hospital discharge records. Outcomes, including cause-specific hospitalizations <2 years postpartum, were compared by estimating adjusted relative risks (RRs) and cause-specific rehospitalization hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs). RESULTS We observed increased risks of several adverse outcomes; RRs were often greatest for SLE. Women with RA/SLE more often required rehospitalization, most notably at <6 months postpartum (RA: 4% versus 2%; RR 2.22 [95% CI 1.62-3.04]; SLE: 6% versus 2%; RR 2.78 [95% CI 2.15-3.59]). Maternal postpartum rehospitalization was greatest for musculoskeletal conditions (RA: HR 19.1 [95% CI 13.6-26.8]; SLE: HR 29.8 [95% CI 22.1-40.1]). Infants of women with SLE more often had malformations (9% versus 6%; RR 1.46 [95% CI 1.21-1.75]), and increased mortality at <2 years (RR 2.11 [95% CI 1.21-3.67]). Infants of women with SLE also experienced more frequent rehospitalizations in their first year of life. CONCLUSION Women with RA or SLE and their infants experienced adverse outcomes, particularly infants of women with SLE. Maternal/infant rehospitalization was more common; most marked in the early months postpartum. Close follow-up during these time periods is crucial to minimize adverse outcomes.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Employment is an important indicator of health and functional recovery for hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) survivors and has significant social and economic impacts. Cancer survivors treated with conventional non-HCT therapy are known to be at a higher risk of unemployment or not returning to work after completion of therapy compared with the control population. However, the literature on return-to-work challenges among HCT survivors remains limited. RECENT FINDINGS Here we summarize the evidence on prevalence and determinants of return-to-work challenges among HCT survivors using previously published literature. Findings from previously published research show that return to work or unemployment is a major concern among HCT survivors, especially for allogeneic HCT recipients, and prior studies have identified several modifiable risk factors associated with it. Survivors' post-HCT employment status is significantly associated with quality of life, impacting physical, emotional, social, and financial aspects of their lives. We also highlight the gaps in current knowledge such as limited information on employment outcomes of childhood, adolescent, and young adult HCT survivors; work-related challenges among employed HCT survivors; consequences of work-related challenges; and interventions to improve return to work among HCT survivors. Findings highlighted in this review make a strong case of a multidisciplinary return-to-work support for HCT survivors to properly address their needs.

Abstract
Acute graft versus host disease (aGvHD) is a life-threatening complication of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) inflicted by alloreactive T cells primed in secondary lymphoid organs (SLOs) and subsequent damage to aGvHD target tissues. In recent years, Treg transfer and/or expansion has emerged as a promising therapy to modulate aGvHD. However, cellular niches essential for fostering Tregs to prevent aGvHD have not been explored. Here, we tested whether and to what extent MHC class II (MHCII) expressed on Ccl19+ fibroblastic reticular cells (FRCs) shape the donor CD4+ T cell response during aGvHD. Animals lacking MHCII expression on Ccl19-Cre-expressing FRCs (MHCIIΔCcl19) showed aberrant CD4+ T cell activation in the effector phase, resulting in exacerbated aGvHD that was associated with significantly reduced expansion of Foxp3+ Tregs and invariant NK T (iNKT) cells. Skewed Treg maintenance in MHCIIΔCcl19 mice resulted in loss of protection from aGvHD provided by adoptively transferred donor Tregs. In contrast, although FRCs upregulated costimulatory surface receptors, and although they degraded and processed exogenous antigens after myeloablative irradiation, FRCs were dispensable to activate alloreactive CD4+ T cells in 2 mouse models of aGvHD. In summary, these data reveal an immunoprotective, MHCII-mediated function of FRC niches in secondary lymphoid organs (SLOs) after allo-HCT and highlight a framework of cellular and molecular interactions that regulate CD4+ T cell alloimmunity.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Cancer outcomes are relatively poor in adults who belong to minoritized racial and ethnic groups. Survival and long-term outcomes by race and ethnicity in individuals with childhood cancers are less studied. OBJECTIVE To evaluate survival and hospitalization among American Indian and Alaska Native, Asian, Black, and Hispanic children compared with non-Hispanic White children with cancer. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS This cohort study evaluated all individuals born in Washington State who were younger than 20 years (hereafter referred to as children) and had been diagnosed with cancer during 1987 to 2012, with follow-up ranging from 1 to 27 years. The data subset was built in 2019, and statistical analyses were completed in January 2022. EXPOSURES Race and ethnicity. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Mortality and hospitalization events for all other racial and ethnic groups relative to non-Hispanic White children estimated by Cox proportional hazards regressions for the first 5 years after diagnosis and among cancer survivors 5 or more years after diagnosis. RESULTS A total of 4222 children (mean [SD] age, 8.4 [6.4] years; 2199 [52.1%] male; 113 American Indian and Alaska Native [2.7%], 311 Asian [7.4%], 196 Black [4.6%], 387 Hispanic [9.2%], and 3215 non-Hispanic White [76.1%]) with cancer diagnosed at younger than 20 years during 1987 to 2012 were included. Mortality was similar across all groups. Compared with non-Hispanic White survivors at less than 5 years after diagnosis, there were no greatly increased hazard ratios (HRs) for hospitalization. Among survivors at 5 or more years after diagnosis, hospitalization HRs were 1.7 (95% CI, 1.0-3.0) for American Indian and Alaska Native survivors and 1.5 (95% CI, 0.9-2.4) for Black survivors. Significantly increased HRs among Hispanic children were observed for infection-related (HR, 1.4; 95% CI, 1.2-1.6), endocrine-related (HR, 1.3; 95% CI, 1.1-1.6), hematologic-related (HR, 1.3; 95% CI, 1.1-1.5), respiratory-related (HR, 1.3; 95% CI, 1.0-1.5), and digestive-related (HR, 1.2; 95% CI, 1.0-1.5) conditions. American Indian and Alaskan Native children had increased HRs for infection-related (HR, 2.3; 95% CI, 1.2-4.5), hematologic-related (HR, 3.0; 95% CI, 1.4-6.5), and digestive-related (HR, 2.6; 95% CI, 1.3-5.4) conditions. Both American Indian and Alaska Native (HR, 3.6; 95% CI, 1.4-9.0) and Black (HR, 2.5; 95% CI, 1.2-5.5) children had increased mental health-related hospitalizations and death. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE In this cohort study, disproportionately increased long-term risks of hospitalization for physical and mental conditions may have contributed to worse outcomes by race. A key component to bridging the morbidity gap by race is improved understanding of reasons for greater cause-specific hospitalizations in some groups, with development of culturally appropriate intervention strategies.

The goal of curing children and adults with sickle cell disease (SCD) is to maximize benefits and minimize intermediate and long-term adverse outcomes so that individuals can live an average life span with a high quality of life. While greater than 2000 individuals with SCD have been treated with curative therapy, systematic studies have not been performed to evaluate the long-term health effects of hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) in this population. Individuals with SCD suffer progressive heart, lung, and kidney disease prior to curative therapy. In adults, these sequalae are associated with earlier death. In comparison, individuals who undergo HSCT for cancer are heavily pretreated with chemotherapy, resulting in potential acute and chronic heart, lung, and kidney disease. The long-term health effects on the heart, lung, and kidney for children and adults undergoing HSCT for cancer have been extensively investigated. These studies provide the best available data to extrapolate the possible late health effects after curative therapy for SCD. Future research is needed to evaluate whether HSCT abates, stabilizes, or exacerbates heart, lung, kidney, and other diseases in children and adults with SCD receiving myeloablative and non-myeloablative conditioning regimens for curative therapy.

Twenty years of experience of a tertiary cancer center in total body irradiation with focus on oncological outcome and secondary malignancies. Strahlenther Onkol 2022; 198:547-557. [PMID: 35318487 PMCID: PMC9165288 DOI: 10.1007/s00066-022-01914-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2021] [Accepted: 02/20/2022] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
Purpose Total body irradiation (TBI) is a common part of the myelo- and immuno-ablative conditioning regimen prior to an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). Due to concerns regarding acute and long-term complications, there is currently a decline in otherwise successfully established TBI-based conditioning regimens. Here we present an analysis of patient and treatment data with focus on survival and long-term toxicity. Methods Patients with hematologic diseases who received TBI as part of their conditioning regimen prior to allo-HSCT at Frankfurt University Hospital between 1997 and 2015 were identified and retrospectively analyzed. Results In all, 285 patients with a median age of 45 years were identified. Median radiotherapy dose applied was 10.5 Gy. Overall survival at 1, 2, 5, and 10 years was 72.6, 64.6, 54.4, and 51.6%, respectively. Median follow-up of patients alive was 102 months. The cumulative incidence of secondary malignancies was 12.3% (n = 35), with hematologic malignancies and skin cancer predominating. A TBI dose ≥ 8 Gy resulted in significantly improved event-free (p = 0.030) and overall survival (p = 0.025), whereas a total dose ≤ 8 Gy and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) diagnosis were associated with significantly increased rates of secondary malignancies (p = 0.003, p = 0.048) in univariate analysis. No significant correlation was observed between impaired renal or pulmonary function and TBI dose. Conclusion TBI remains an effective and well-established treatment, associated with distinct late-toxicity. However, in the present study we cannot confirm a dose–response relationship in intermediate dose ranges. Survival, occurrence of secondary malignancies, and late toxicities appear to be subject to substantial confounding in this context.

Subsequent malignant neoplasms in the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study: Occurrence of cancer types in which human papillomavirus is an established etiologic risk factor. Cancer 2022; 128:373-382. [PMID: 34606625 PMCID: PMC8738100 DOI: 10.1002/cncr.33922] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2021] [Revised: 06/30/2021] [Accepted: 07/06/2021] [Indexed: 01/17/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated subsequent malignant neoplasms (SMNHPV ) in childhood cancer survivors are poorly understood. METHODS The cumulative risk of SMNHPV was assessed among 24,363 Childhood Cancer Survivor Study participants. Standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) and absolute excess risk were calculated using age-matched, sex-matched, and calendar year rates from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results program. Poisson regression models identified SMNHPV risk factors, evaluating relative SIRs (rSIR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs). RESULTS In total, 46 survivors developed an SMNHPV (median age, 31 years [range, 10-56 years]; median time from primary cancer, 21 years [range, 9-35 years]). SMNHPV sites included oropharynx (N = 44), anorectum (N = 6), uterine cervix (N = 2), and vulva (N = 2). The 33-year cumulative incidence was 0.3% (95% CI, 0.2%-0.4%), and the SIR was nearly 3-fold that of the general population (SIR, 2.86; 95% CI, 2.05-4.00). Female survivors were not at increased risk of cervical or vulvar cancers compared with the general population. All survivors had an elevated risk of oropharyngeal SMNHPV (males: SIR, 4.06; 95% CI, 2.37-6.97; females: SIR, 8.44; 95% CI 4.88-14.61) and anorectal SMNHPV (males: SIR, 13.56; 95% CI, 5.09-36.13; females: SIR, 9.15; 95% CI, 2.29-36.61). Males (vs females: rSIR, 1.99; 95% CI, 1.00-3.94); head, neck, and pelvic radiotherapy doses >3000 centigray (vs none: rSIR, 2.35; 95% CI, 1.11-4.97); and cisplatin-equivalent doses >400 mg/m2 (vs none: rSIR, 4.51; 95% CI, 1.78-11.43) were associated with increased SMNHPV SIRs in multivariable analysis. CONCLUSIONS Childhood cancer survivors are at increased risk for SMN in sites susceptible to HPV-associated malignancies. Further research examining HPV in the etiology of SMN and the promotion of HPV vaccination and surveillance guidelines for SMNHPV in cancer survivors is warranted.

Abstract
Patients undergoing stem cell transplantation (SCT) are at high risk of malnutrition during the acute post-transplantation period. This systematic review aimed to collate and analyse the evidence for vitamin requirements post-SCT. A systematic search of five databases was conducted to include studies published until March 2021. The review utilised the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) framework. Inclusion criteria consisted of adults undergoing SCT who received vitamin supplementation or had their vitamin levels monitored up to 100 days post-SCT. Studies with paediatric patients or those that looked at vitamin derivates such as folinic acid were excluded. Main outcomes included vitamin deficiency and relevant clinical outcomes. Eleven studies (n = 11) were eligible for inclusion with five rated as neutral quality and six as positive quality. Five studies focused on allogenic SCT, two on autologous SCT and the remaining included a mix of both. Eight studies monitored vitamins levels post-SCT, and seven studies provided vitamin supplementation. Three studies (one provided supplementation) found a high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency (23-60%) prior to SCT. Findings indicate an unclear association between vitamin deficiency and post-SCT complications including acute graft-versus-host-disease, oral mucositis, and mortality. The GRADE certainty of evidence across these outcomes was low or very low. It is unclear if supplementation is needed during SCT, though assessing vitamin D levels prior to transplant should be considered. Further large observational studies or randomised control trials are required to establish vitamin requirements and guide supplementation protocols during SCT.

Pretransplant Risk Factors Can Predict Development of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome after Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation. Ann Am Thorac Soc 2021; 18:1004-1012. [PMID: 33321053 DOI: 10.1513/annalsats.202004-336oc] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Rationale: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a common complication after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) and is a major contributor to nonrelapse mortality. Objectives: To better understand pretransplant risk factors for developing ARDS after HCT. Methods: This is a single-center observational study comparing risk factors for ARDS development in 164 patients who went on to develop post-HCT ARDS compared with 492 patients who did not. The patients were matched 1 to 3 on age, sex, type of transplant (allogeneic vs. autologous), and underlying disease. Pertinent risk factors were analyzed separately in multivariable conditional logistic regression after adjustment for a priori variables known to be associated with ARDS development. Results: Patients with ARDS were more likely to have a lower pretransplant pulmonary function as measured by forced vital capacity (FVC) (odds ratio [OR], 0.54 [0.42-0.70] per liter increase in FVC; P < 0.001), forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) (OR, 0.52 [0.38-0.71] per liter increase in FEV1; P < 0.001) and diffusing capacity (OR, 0.92 [0.88-0.96] per ml/min/mm Hg increase in diffusing capacity; P < 0.001). Several laboratory indices were predictive of subsequent ARDS development including elevated AST (aspartate aminotransferase) (OR, 1.01 [1.00-1.01]; P < 0.008), lower serum albumin (OR, 0.44 [0.30-0.66]; P < 0.001), lower pretransplant hemoglobin (OR, 0.82 [0.73-0.92]; P = 0.001), and lower leukocyte count (OR, 0.88 [0.79-0.99]; P < 0.03). Patients who went on to develop ARDS were more likely to have been hospitalized in the year before the transplant (OR, 1.11 [1.04-1.20]; P = 0.003), and required invasive or noninvasive ventilation during that hospitalization. Lastly, patients with ARDS were significantly more likely to have received carboplatin, thalidomide, methotrexate, and cisplatin than the non-ARDS control subjects. Conclusions: Several risk factors for developing ARDS after HCT are identifiable at the time of transplantation, well before the development of critical illness and ARDS. The identification of risk factors long before ARDS develops is relatively unique to the HCT population. Further work is needed to develop usable risk prediction tools in this setting.

Abstract
Purpose Allogeneic stem cell transplantation would benefit from re-engineering care towards an integrated eHealth-facilitated care model. With this paper we aim to: (1) describe the development of an integrated care model (ICM) in allogeneic SteM-cell-transplantatIon faciLitated by eHealth (SMILe) by combining implementation, behavioral, and computer science methods (e.g., contextual analysis, Behavior Change Wheel, and user-centered design combined with agile software development); and (2) describe that model’s characteristics and its application in clinical practice. Methods The SMILe intervention’s development consisted of four steps, with implementation science methods informing each: (1) planning its set-up within a theoretical foundation; (2) using behavioral science methods to develop the content; (3) choosing and developing its delivery method (human/technology) using behavioral and computer science methods; and (4) describing its characteristics and application in clinical practice. Results The SMILe intervention is embedded within the eHealth enhanced Chronic Care Model, entailing four self-management intervention modules, targeting monitoring and follow-up of important medical and symptom-related parameters, infection prevention, medication adherence, and physical activity. Interventions are delivered partly face-to-face by a care coordinator embedded within the transplant team, and partly via the SMILeApp that connects patients to the transplant team, who can monitor and rapidly respond to any relevant changes within 1 year post-transplant. Conclusion This paper provides stepwise guidance on how implementation, behavioral, and computer science methods can be used to develop interventions aiming to improve care for stem cell transplant patients in real-world clinical settings. This new care model is currently being tested in a hybrid I effectiveness-implementation trial.

Abstract
PURPOSE Children with cancer are frequently hospitalized. However, hospitalization and death by disease category are not well defined < 5 years from diagnosis. METHODS We conducted a retrospective cohort study using linked cancer registry-hospital discharge-vital records to identify cancer cases < 20 years at diagnosis during 1987-2012 (n = 4,567) and comparison children without cancer, matched on birth year and sex (n = 45,582). Data linkage identified serious morbidities resulting in cancer- and non-cancer-related hospitalizations or deaths < 5 years from diagnosis. Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated to compare relative hospitalization and mortality by disease category and after excluding cancer-related outcomes. Among cancer cases, relative risks of these outcomes for children with solid tumors compared with children with leukemia/lymphoma were also estimated. RESULTS Greater rates of all-cause hospitalization (281.5/1,000 vs. 6.2/1,000 person years) and death (40.7/1,000 vs. 0.15/1,000 person years) were observed in childhood cancer cases than comparators and across all diagnosis categories. Increased hospitalization (31.0/1,000 vs. 6.2/1,000 person years; HR 5.0, 95% CI 4.5-5.5) and death (1.0/1,000 vs. 0.15/1,000 person years; HR 10.4, 95% CI 5.6-19.1) rates remained when cancer-related outcomes were excluded. Although HRs for hospitalization and death did not differ greatly by treatment era, absolute rates of hospitalization were greater (1987-1999: 233.3/1,000; 2000-2012: 320.0/1,000 person years) and death were lesser (1987-1999: 46.3/1,000; 2000-2012: 36.8/1,000 person years) in the later treatment era among cases. Children with solid tumors were less likely to have a cancer-related hospitalization than were those with leukemia/lymphoma (RR 0.91, 95% CI 0.84-0.98). CONCLUSION Even after excluding cancer-related diagnoses, children with cancer experience greater rates of hospitalization and death in all disease categories. Results may guide future toxicity mitigation initiatives and inform anticipatory guidance for families of children with cancer.

Abstract
Few studies have compared the incidence of infections occurring ≥2 years after hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) with other cancer patients and the general population. In this study, ≥2-year HCT survivors who were Washington residents treated from 1992 through 2009 (n = 1792; median age, 46 years; 52% allogeneic; 90% hematologic malignancies) were matched to individuals from the state cancer registry (n = 5455, non-HCT) and driver's license files (n = 16 340; Department of Licensing [DOL]). Based on hospital and death registry codes, incidence rate ratios (IRRs; 95% confidence interval [CI]) of infections by organism type and organ system were estimated using Poisson regression. With 7-year median follow-up, the incidence rate (per 1000 person-years) of all infections was 65.4 for HCT survivors vs 39.6 for the non-HCT group (IRR, 1.6; 95% CI, 1.3-1.9) and 7.2 for DOL (IRR, 10.0; 95% CI, 8.3-12.1). Bacterial and fungal infections were each 70% more common in HCT vs non-HCT cancer survivors (IRR, 1.7; P < .01), whereas the risk for viral infection was lower (IRR, 1.4; P = .07). Among potentially vaccine-preventable organisms, the IRR was 3.0 (95% CI, 2.1-4.3) vs the non-HCT group. Although the incidences of all infections decreased with time, the relative risk in almost all categories remained significantly increased in ≥5-year HCT survivors vs other groups. Risk factors for late infection included history of relapse and for some infections, history of chronic graft-versus-host disease. Providers caring for HCT survivors should maintain vigilance for infections and ensure adherence to antimicrobial prophylaxis and vaccination guidelines.

Abstract
Young adult (YA) survivors of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) are at risk for late psychosocial challenges, including the inability to return to work post-HCT. Work-related outcomes in this population remain understudied, however. We conducted this study to assess the post-HCT work status of survivors of allogeneic HCT who underwent HCT as YAs and to analyze the patient-, disease-, and HCT-related factors associated with their work status at 1 year post-HCT. Using Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research data, we evaluated the post-HCT work status (full-time, part-time work, unemployed, or medical disability) of 1365 YA HCT survivors who underwent HCT between 2008 and 2015. Percentages of work status categories were reported at 4 time points: 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, and 3 years post-HCT. Percentages of post-HCT work status categories at the 1-year time point were also described in relation to survivors' pre-HCT work status categories. Factors associated with 1-year post-HCT work status (full-time or part-time work) were examined using logistic regression. From 6 months to 3 years post-HCT, the percentage of survivors working full-time increased from 18.3% to 50.7% and the percentage working part-time increased from 6.9% to 10.5%. Of patients in full-time work pre-HCT, 50% were unemployed or on medical disability at 1 year post-HCT. Female sex (odds ratio [OR], 0.55; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.40 to 0.77), HCT Comorbidity Index score ≥3 (OR, 0.57; 95% CI, 0.39 to 0.82), pre-HCT unemployment (OR, 0.37; 95% CI, 0.24 to 0.56), medical disability (OR, 0.44; 95% CI, 0.28 to 0.70), development of grade III-IV acute graft-versus-host disease (OR, 0.52; 95% CI, 0.34 to 0.80), and relapse within 1 year post-HCT (OR, 0.34; 95% CI, 0.21 to 0.56) were associated with a lower likelihood of employment at 1 year post-HCT. Compared with myeloablative conditioning (MAC) with total body irradiation (TBI), MAC without TBI (OR, 1.71; 95% CI, 1.16 to 2.53) was associated with a greater likelihood of employment at 1 year post-HCT. Graduate school-level education (OR, 2.47; 95% CI, 1.49 to 4.10) was also associated with a greater likelihood of employment at 1 year post-HCT. Although the work status among YA HCT survivors continued to improve over time, a substantial subset became or remained unemployed or on medical disability. These findings underscore the need for effective interventions to support return to work in this population.

Long-term treatment burden following allogeneic blood and marrow transplantation in NSW, Australia: a cross-sectional survey. J Cancer Surviv 2021; 16:432-444. [PMID: 33813667 DOI: 10.1007/s11764-021-01038-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/26/2021] [Accepted: 03/27/2021] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Allogenic blood and marrow transplant (allo-BMT) is an arduous treatment used increasingly for many life-threatening conditions. Recognition of the profound impacts of the long term and late effects is ever-growing, as is the healthcare workload (treatment burden) of survivorship. PURPOSE To quantify the treatment burden of long-term survival following allo-BMT, regarding the range of health services, therapies and investigations accessed by survivors. METHODS A large, multi-centre cross-sectional survey of adult allo-BMT survivors transplanted between 2000 and 2012 in Sydney, Australia. Participants completed six validated instruments and one purposed designed for the study, the Sydney Post BMT Study (SPBS), answering questions relating to medication use, medical treatments, referrals, assessments and frequency of hospital/clinic attendance. RESULTS Of the 441 allo-BMT survivors, over a quarter who were more than 2 years post BMT attended the hospital clinic at least monthly, and 26.7% required a number of regular medical procedures (e.g. venesection, extracorpororeal photopheresis). Specialist medical and allied health referral was very common, and compliance with internationally recommended long-term follow-up (LTFU) care was suboptimal and decreased as time from BMT increased. CONCLUSION Respondents reported a large medication (conventional and complementary), screening, assessment and health care burden. IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS Treatment burden contributes significantly to the 'workload' of survivorship and can have a severe and negative impact on BMT survivors, carers and the healthcare system-making it difficult to comply with optimal care. Clinicians must be primed with skills to identify survivors who are overburdened by the health care required for survival and develop strategies to help ease the burden.

Post-Transplant Cyclophosphamide and Tacrolimus-Mycophenolate Mofetil Combination Governs GVHD and Immunosuppression Need, Reducing Late Toxicities in Allogeneic Peripheral Blood Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation from HLA-Matched Donors. J Clin Med 2021; 10:jcm10061173. [PMID: 33799685 PMCID: PMC7998305 DOI: 10.3390/jcm10061173] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/22/2021] [Revised: 02/21/2021] [Accepted: 02/26/2021] [Indexed: 01/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Combined direct antineoplastic activity and the long-lasting immunological effects of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) can cure many hematological malignancies, but broad adoption requires non-relapse mortality (NRM) rates and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) control. Recently, posttransplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) given after a bone marrow transplant significantly reduced GVHD-incidence, while PTCy given with tacrolimus/mofetil mycophenolate (T/MMF) showed activity following allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (alloPBSCT). Here, we report the experience of a larger cohort (85 consecutive patients) and expanded follow-up period (03/2011-12/2019) with high-risk hematological malignancies who received alloPBSCT from Human-Leukocyte-Antigens HLA-matched unrelated/related donors. GVHD-prophylaxis was PTCy 50 mg/kg (days+3 and +4) combined with T/MMF (day+5 forward). All patients stopped MMF on day+28 with day+110 = median tacrolimus discontinuation. Cumulative incidences were 12% for acute and 7% for chronic GVHD- and no GVHD-attributed deaths. For surviving patients, the 12, 24, and 36-month probabilities of being off immunosuppression were 92, 96, and 96%, respectively. After a 36-month median follow-up, NRM was 4%; median event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS) had yet to occur. One- and two-year chronic GVHD-EFS results were 57% (95% CI, 46-68%) and 53% (95% CI, 45-61%), respectively, with limited late infections and long-term organ toxicities. Disease relapse caused the most treatment failures (38% at 2 years), but low transplant toxicity allowed many patients (14/37, 38%) to receive donor lymphocyte infusions as a post-relapse strategy. We confirmed that PTCy+T/MMF treatment effectively prevented acute and chronic GVHD and limited NRM to unprecedented low rates without loss of disease control efficacy in an expanded patient cohort. This trial is registered at U.S. National Library of Medicine as #NCT02300571.

Late Kidney Morbidity and Mortality in Hematopoietic Cell Transplant Survivors. Transplant Cell Ther 2021; 27:434.e1-434.e6.

Abstract
Increasing numbers of patients are undergoing hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT); however, further characterization of late kidney outcomes in HCT recipients is needed. This study investigated long-term kidney outcomes in HCT survivors and compared the risk of late kidney morbidity/mortality in these survivors with that in non-HCT cancer survivors and the general population. A cohort of long-term (≥2 years) allogeneic and autologous HCT survivors treated for cancer at our institution between 1992 and 2009 (n = 1792) was compared with a non-HCT cancer cohort selected from the state cancer registry (n = 5455) matched on diagnosis, sex, and age at year of cancer diagnosis/HCT (index date). Additional comparisons were made with a matched general population sample drawn from state driver's licensing files (DOL; n = 16,340). Statewide hospital discharge codes and death registry codes (International Classification of Diseases 9/10) were used to identify cases of acute kidney failure (AKF) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) occurring ≥2 years after the index date. Cumulative incidence rates and hazard ratios (HRs; according to multivariable proportional hazard models) estimated the absolute and relative risks of AKF and CKD. Among HCT survivors, we examined the influence of additional characteristics including estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) at 1-year post-HCT. The cumulative incidence rates of late kidney complications were slightly greater in the HCT survivors versus the non-HCT cancer survivors at 10 years after the index date. Both groups were more likely to experience late AKF or CKD morbidity/mortality compared with the general population (AKF: HCT, 9.4%; non-HCT, 7.7%; DOL, 1.8%; CKD: HCT, 5.7%; non-HCT, 5.0%; DOL, 1.2%). Differences between HCT survivors and non-HCT survivors were seen primarily starting 5 years after the index date, with increased hazards for late AKF (HR, 1.4; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.1 to 1.9) and CKD (HR, 1.9; 95% CI, 1.3 to 2.8). Among allogeneic HCT survivors, the presence of hypertension at <2 years post-HCT was significantly associated with subsequent AKF (HR, 2.9; 95% CI, 1.7 to 5.0) and CKD (HR, 5.2; 95% CI, 2.7 to 10.0) at 2 to 10 years post-HCT, with similar associations seen for autologous HCT survivors. Low eGFR (<60 mL/min/1.73 m2) at 1 year post-HCT was associated with late AKF morbidity/mortality for both allogeneic (HR, 5.3; 95% CI, 2.1 to 13.2) and autologous HCT (HR, 2.7; 95% CI, 1.2 to 6.3) compared with survivors with normal eGFR (>90 mL/min/1.73 m2). Overall, the risk for hospitalization or death from AKF or CKD continued to increase with time from HCT and exceeded that of non-HCT cancer survivors at >5 years after treatment. Appropriate screening and early intervention with medication adjustments or lifestyle modifications in those with hypertension or evidence of abnormal eGFR post-HCT could potentially mitigate this risk.

Patient-reported outcomes in survivors of childhood hematologic malignancies with hematopoietic stem cell transplant. Blood 2021; 135:1847-1858.

Abstract
Patient-reported outcomes among survivors of pediatric hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) are understudied. We compared symptom prevalence, health-related quality of life (HRQOL), and risk factors in adult survivors of childhood hematologic malignancies treated with HSCT to those treated with conventional therapy and noncancer controls. Survivors of childhood hematologic malignancies (HSCT N = 112 [70% allogeneic, 30% autologous]; conventionally treated N = 1106) and noncancer controls (N = 242) from the St. Jude Lifetime Cohort Study completed surveys assessing 10 symptom domains and SF-36 HRQOL summary scores. Chronic health conditions (CHCs) were validated by clinical assessment. Multivariable logistic regression reveals that compared with noncancer controls, HSCT survivors endorsed a significantly higher symptom prevalence in sensation (OR = 4.7, 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.6-8.4), motor/movement (OR = 4.3, 95% CI, 1.6-11.0), pulmonary (OR = 4.6, 95% CI, 1.8-11.8), and memory domains (OR = 4.8, 95% CI, 2.5-9.2), and poorer physical HRQOL (OR = 6.9, 95% CI, 2.8-17.0). HSCT and conventionally treated survivors had a similar prevalence of all symptom domains and HRQOL (all P > .05); however, HSCT survivors had a significantly higher cumulative prevalence for specific symptoms: double vision (P = .04), very dry eyes (P < .0001), and trouble seeing when wearing glasses (P < .0001). Occurrence of organ-specific CHCs, instead of transplant receipt, was significantly associated with a higher prevalence of all symptom domains (all P < .05) in adult survivors of childhood cancer, except for pain and anxiety domains. This study found that patient-reported outcomes were equally impaired between HSCT and conventionally treated survivors, but poorer in both groups compared with noncancer controls. Poor patient-reported outcomes in all survivors of childhood hematologic malignancies correlated with the presence of CHCs, whether treated with conventional therapy or HSCT.

Abstract
Acute graft-versus-host disease (aGvHD) is a severe and often life-threatening complication of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT). AGvHD is mediated by alloreactive donor T-cells targeting predominantly the gastrointestinal tract, liver, and skin. Recent work in mice and patients undergoing allo-HCT showed that alloreactive T-cells can be identified by the expression of α4β7 integrin on T-cells even before manifestation of an aGvHD. Here, we investigated whether the detection of a combination of the expression of T-cell surface markers on peripheral blood (PB) CD8+ T-cells would improve the ability to predict aGvHD. To this end, we employed two independent preclinical models of minor histocompatibility antigen mismatched allo-HCT following myeloablative conditioning. Expression profiles of integrins, selectins, chemokine receptors, and activation markers of PB donor T-cells were measured with multiparameter flow cytometry at multiple time points before the onset of clinical aGvHD symptoms. In both allo-HCT models, we demonstrated a significant upregulation of α4β7 integrin, CD162E, CD162P, and conversely, a downregulation of CD62L on donor T-cells, which could be correlated with the development of aGvHD. Other surface markers, such as CD25, CD69, and CC-chemokine receptors were not found to be predictive markers. Based on these preclinical data from mouse models, we propose a surface marker panel on peripheral blood T-cells after allo-HCT combining α4β7 integrin with CD62L, CD162E, and CD162P (cutaneous lymphocyte antigens, CLA, in humans) to identify patients at risk for developing aGvHD early after allo-HCT.

Abstract
With tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy, chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) is now a chronic disease. CML patients treated with TKIs (n = 1200) were identified from the OptumLabs® Data Warehouse (de-identified claims and electronic health records) between 2000 and 2016 and compared with a non-cancer cohort (n = 7635). The 5-year cumulative incidence of all organ system outcomes was significantly greater for the TKI versus non-cancer group. In the first year, compared with imatinib, later generation TKIs were associated with primary infections (hazard ratios [HR] 1.43, 95% CI 1.02-2.00), circulatory events (HR 1.15, 95% CI 1.01-1.31), and skin issues (HR 1.43, 95% CI 1.13-1.80); musculoskeletal and nervous system/sensory issues were less common (HRs 0.83-0.84, p < 0.05). Increased risk of infections, cardiopulmonary and skin issues associated with later generation TKIs persisted in subsequent years. In this real-world population, TKI therapy was associated with a high burden of adverse events. Later generation TKIs may have greater toxicity than imatinib.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Quantification of skeletal muscle using computed tomography (CT) is accessible using cancer patients' standard oncologic images. Reduced muscle mass may be related to reduced respiratory muscle strength; however, the impact of this on lung functional parameters is not characterized in adult allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplant (alloHCT) recipients. METHODS A consecutive retrospective series (n = 296) of patients who had alloHCT at a comprehensive cancer centre between March 2005 and April 2015 were included. Pre-transplant CT scans were used to quantify skeletal muscle and adipose tissue at the fourth thoracic (T4) and/or third lumbar (L3) level. Tumour and patient characteristics were recorded, including forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1 ) by spirometry. Regression models were created to characterize predictive relationships. RESULTS A total of 296 patients (♂n = 161; ♀n = 135) were included, all of whom had chest CT as part of standard care; a subset of these (n = 215, 72.6%) also had abdominal CT. Diagnoses were non-Hodgkins lymphoma (n = 165), acute myeloid leukaemia (n = 66), Hodgkin's disease (n = 14), acute lymphocytic leukaemia (n = 14), myelodysplastic syndromes (n = 18), and other (n = 19). In multivariable linear regression adjusted for sex (P < 0.0001), age (P < 0.0001), haematopoietic cell transplantation-specific co-morbidity index (P = 0.010), and parameters of pulmonary function testing (defined by spirometry, P < 0.0001), both T4 muscle index [β 0.127 (95% confidence interval 0.019; 0.252), P < 0.0001] and T4 muscle radiodensity [β 0.132 (95% confidence interval 0.087; 0.505), P = 0.006] were independently associated with FEV1 ; disease risk index (P = 0.877) and Karnofsky performance status (P = 0.548) were not associated with FEV1 . Similar conclusions were obtained when L3 muscle index and radiodensity were considered. Unlike T4, L3 muscle index values can be compared with published cut-off values for sarcopenia. Overall rates of sarcopenia were uniformly higher in the HCT population than in age-matched and sex-matched patients with solid tumours [alloHCT ♂64.7% vs. solid tumour ♂56.6% (P < 0.001); alloHCT ♀57.6% vs. solid tumour ♀36.0% (P < 0.001)]. Significant but moderate correlations (P < 0.001) were found for muscle area and radiodensity between L3 and T4, for both men and women; adipose tissue quantity also correlated significantly (P < 0.001) between L3 and T4 for both men and women. CONCLUSIONS Lumbar or thoracic CT images are useful for body composition assessment in this population and reveal high rates of sarcopenia, similar to those reported in very elderly patients. Reduced muscle mass and radiodensity associate with impaired FEV1 even after adjustment for clinical covariables including co-morbidities, performance status, disease risk, and mild intrinsic pulmonary disease (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) defined by spirometry.

[PMID: 33228652 PMCID: PMC7686725 DOI: 10.1186/s12913-020-05927-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/02/2020] [Accepted: 11/15/2020] [Indexed: 12/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Some sub-types of haematological cancers are acute and require intensive treatment soon after diagnosis. Other sub-types are chronic, relapse over many years and require life-long cycles of monitoring interspersed with bouts of treatment. This often results in significant uncertainty about the future, high levels of depression and anxiety, and reduced quality of life. Little is known about how to improve care for haematological cancer survivors. This study explored qualitatively, in a sample of haematological cancer survivors, (i) their unmet needs experienced as a result of their disease and treatment; and (ii) strategies that may help address these needs. Methods Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 17 adult haematological cancer survivors. Data was analysed using qualitative content analysis. The Supportive Care Framework guided data collection and analysis. Results Participants had a mean age of 57 years (SD 13). Most were male (n = 10, 59%). Five themes emerged from the data: (i) changes in unmet needs across the care trajectory (with greatest unmet needs experienced soon after diagnosis, at discharge from hospital and with cancer recurrence); (ii) informational unmet needs requiring improved patient-centred communication; (iii) uncertainty about treatment and the future; (iv) coordinated, tailored and documented post-treatment care planning as a strategy for optimal care delivery; and (v) ongoing support services to meet psychosocial and practical unmet needs by involving peer support, less bureaucratic transport services and flexible work arrangements. Conclusions To our knowledge, this is the first qualitative investigation using the Supportive Care Framework to explore unmet needs of haematological cancer survivors. Our findings offer fresh insights into this important area of study. Written, take-home care plans which provide simple but tailored guidance on where to seek additional support may help decrease uncertainty and feelings of vulnerability post-treatment for adult haematological cancer survivors. Future research should further develop and test strategies aimed at addressing unmet needs of haematological cancer survivors identified in this study.

Tailored Exercise during Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation Hospitalization in Children with Cancer: A Prospective Cohort Study. Cancers (Basel) 2020; 12:cancers12103020. [PMID: 33080908 PMCID: PMC7650695 DOI: 10.3390/cancers12103020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/03/2020] [Revised: 10/09/2020] [Accepted: 10/12/2020] [Indexed: 02/08/2023] Open
Abstract
We assessed the clinical effects of a supervised exercise (aerobic + resistance) intervention performed during inpatient hospitalization for pediatric hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Patients were placed in an exercise (n = 65 (47 and 18 with allogeneic (allo-) and autologous (auto-) HSCT, respectively)) or a control (n = 53 (39 and 14)) group. Exercise interventions were performed in isolated hospital patient rooms. Patients were followed-up from the beginning of the conditioning phase up to 6 years. We assessed survival, risk of graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) or graft failure (primary outcomes), and engraftment kinetics, supportive care, toxicity profile, and immune reconstitution for auto-HSCT and allo-HSCT. The exercise intervention was safe and did not affect the risk of mortality, acute/chronic GvHD, or graft failure (all p > 0.05). No between-group differences (p > 0.05) were found for the remainder of clinical endpoints, except for a reduced number of total and viral infections in the exercise group after allo-HSCT (unadjusted p = 0.005 for both total and viral infections, and adjusted p = 0.023 and 0.083, respectively). In conclusion, exercise performed during inpatient hospitalization for pediatric HSCT is safe and well tolerated during both auto and allo-HSCT and tends to decrease the risk of infection after allo-HSCT. These findings provide additional support to the notion that a multidisciplinary approach (i.e., including the work of exercise specialists) is suitable in the management of children undergoing HSCT. Further studies are needed to determine whether applying a different training stimulus (notably, higher exercise intensities) exerts positive effects on HSCT prognosis in these patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Recent advances in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) have allowed us to offer HSCT to older, advanced disease patients with more co-morbidities. Cardiovascular toxicity post-transplant is a major concern due to the increased risk of mortality. Few studies have examined the prevalence of CV events including CAD (MI, angina, PCI, CABG, CHF, arrhythmias), HTN, stroke/TIA, and death in the first 100 days post-transplant. PATIENTS We assessed the impact of pretransplant MUGA results in predicting postallogeneic HSCT CV events and overall survival in the first 100 days, and whether or not transient anthracycline-induced cardiomyopathy or cumulative anthracycline dose affected overall survival. This retrospective, cohort study included 665 patients with a median age of 52 years who underwent HSCT from 2009 to 2015. RESULTS The most frequent CV event in the first 100 days post-HSCT was arrhythmia seen in 2.9% of patients followed up by CHF (12.3%), MI (9%), and angina (8%). Two patients had PCI, and both survived the first 100 days. Cardiovascular risk factors predict for a poor MUGA scan but not survival. Higher dose anthracycline pretransplant predicted for a poor outcome. CONCLUSION A history of CV disease, MI, or CAD was the most important predictive of CV events, P-value = .00002. 88.6% survived the first 100 days. Patients with an EF < 50% had a significant likelihood of having a CV event compared to patients with an EF > 60% (OR = 5.3, 95% CI [1.6-18.1], P = .0219). Cumulative anthracycline dose did not have a significant impact on overall survival.

Abstract
The increasing indications for allogeneic stem-cell transplant in patients with hematologic malignancies and non-malignant diseases combined with improved clinical outcomes have contributed to increase the number of long-term survivors. However, survivors are at increased risk of developing a unique set of complications and late effects, besides graft-versus-host disease and disease relapse. In this setting, the management capacity of a single health-care provider can easily be overwhelmed. Thus, to provide appropriate survivorship care, a multidisciplinary approach for the long-term follow-up is essential. This review aims at summarizing the most relevant information that a health-care provider should know to establish a follow-up care plan, in the light of individual exposures and risk factors, that includes all organ systems and considers the psychological burden of these patients.

Abstract
Importance Incidence and risk factors of second solid cancers (SSCs) that occur after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) are well documented. However, clinical outcome data of patients who developed an SSC after HSCT are limited. Objective To assess the outcome of patients with an SSC occurring after HSCT from the time of SSC diagnosis. Design, Setting, and Participants This cohort study used data of 4065 patients from 26 countries registered with the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation, which has maintained clinical data since 1977 of patients who received a transplant. Information from all patients who underwent a transplant in Europe and had an SSC diagnosis between January 1, 2000, and December 31, 2014, was extracted. The cohort included patients with 18 different cancers. Data analysis was conducted from September 3, 2017, to March 17, 2018. Main Outcomes and Measures Median and 5-year age-standardized overall survival, causes of death, risk factor multivariate analysis using a clustered Cox proportional hazard regression model, and standardized mortality ratio were calculated for each of the 18 types of SSC. Results In total, 220 617 patients underwent a transplant, of whom only 4065 (1.8%) patients with a second solid cancer after HSCT were included in the study. Among the 4065 patients, 2321 (57.1%) were men and 1744 (42.9%) were women, with a mean (range) age of 59.1 (3.2-82.3) years at diagnosis of second solid cancer. The 5-year age-standardized overall survival was 47% (95% CI, 45%-49%). The 5-year overall survival rate after SSC diagnosis was poor for pancreas, lung, hepatobiliary, esophageal, brain, and gastric cancers, with a median survival between 0.6 and 1 year. The 5-year overall survival was intermediate for endometrial, colorectal, sarcomas, ovarian, bladder, oropharyngeal, and kidney cancers, with a median survival between 2 and 10 years. The 5-year overall survival was more favorable for melanoma, breast, prostate, cervix, and thyroid cancers, with a median survival of 10 or more years. Additional transplant-associated factors for mortality for patients treated with allogeneic HSCT were age at transplant, donor type, conditioning regimen, and graft-vs-host disease. In total, 1777 patients (43.7%) died, of which 1256 (74.8%) were from SSC, 344 (20.5%) from primary disease, and 79 (4.7%) from other causes. Standardized mortality ratio was higher, compared with de novo solid cancers, for melanoma, prostate, breast, kidney, bladder, colorectal, and endometrial cancers but not for the other cancers. Conclusions and Relevance The outcome of SSC is mainly dependent on the type of second cancer; thus, future studies should investigate the reasons the standardized mortality ratio is higher for some cancers to identify whether patients with these cancers should be treated differently and to help in screening and counseling patients who developed an SSC after HSCT.

Abstract
Background and Objectives The burden of acute kidney injury (AKI) has not been explored in Jordanian patients who receive hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). The aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency, risk factors, and mortality of AKI among patients who underwent HSCT. Methods A retrospective pilot study included 70 adult patients who received peripheral HSCT was conducted. Weekly measurement of serum creatinine (SCr) was obtained for 3 months after chemotherapy and HSCT. Then, stages of Risk, Injury, and Failure of Kidney were determined based on the Kidney Disease for Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO). Results The median follow-up was 41 months. Mortality was reported in 16 patients (23%). Out of 60 patients that had SCr values, 19 patients (31.6%) had AKI in 90 days after chemotherapy. Allogeneic HSCT, male donors, high-dose melphalan protocols and values of blood urea nitrogen (BUN) were significantly higher among patients with AKI. Conclusions Combining many nephrotoxic drugs and dosing adjustments should be considered in uniform protocols. Multidisciplinary care should be utilized to assess early kidney dysfunction that decreases adverse events and improves outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This cross-sectional survey aimed to establish the prevalence of infectious diseases and vaccination uptake in long-term allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplants (HSCT) survivors in New South Wales, in order to reduce long-term post-HSCT morbidity and mortality and enhance long-term care. PATIENTS AND METHODS Hematopoietic stem cell transplants survivors aged over 18 years and transplanted between 2000-2012 in New South Wales (NSW) were eligible to participate. Survivors self-completed the Sydney Post BMT Study survey, FACT-BMT (V4), Chronic Graft versus Host Disease (cGVHD) Activity Assessment Self Report, Lee Chronic GvHD Symptom Scale, DASS21, Post Traumatic Growth Inventory, and the Fear of Recurrence Scale. RESULTS Of the 583 HSCT survivors contacted, 441 (78%) completed the survey. Respondents included 250 (57%) males and median age was 54 years (range 19-79 years). The median age at the time of transplant was 49 years (Range: 17-71), the median time since HSCT was 5 years (Range: 1-14) and 69% had cGVHD. Collectively, 41.7% of survivors reported a vaccine preventable disease (VPD) with the most common being influenza-like-illness (38.4%), varicella zoster/shingles (27.9%), pap smear abnormalities (9.8%), pneumococcal disease (5.1%), and varicella zoster (chicken pox) (4.6%). Only 31.8% had received the full post-HSCT vaccination schedule, and the majority (69.8%) of these had received the vaccines via their General Practitioner. cGVHD was not found to be a significant factor on multivariate analysis for those who were vaccinated. There was a trend toward lower vaccination rates in patients in a lower income strata. CONCLUSIONS Vaccinating post-HSCT survivors to prevent infections and their consequences have an established role in post-HSCT care. Improving rates of post-HSCT vaccination should be a major priority for BMT units.

MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS). Skin, fascia/joints, lungs, upper and lower extremity range of motion, liver, eye, mucosal, and gastrointestinal involvement were measured using the National Institutes of Health GVHD scale. Physical performance was assessed with the 2-minute walk test (2MWT) and hand grip strength. Subjective measures were the Patient Health Questionnaire 9 (PHQ-9) and Lee Symptom Burden (LSB) scale. RESULTS Myofascial (P<.001) and lung (P=.001) involvement, 2MWT (P<.001), LSB (P<.001), and PHQ-9 (P=.03) had the largest associations with KPS with liver (P=.05) and hand grip strength (P<.001) more modest associations with KPS. CONCLUSIONS Patients with cGVHD experience multifactorial impairment in function associated with potentially modifiable symptoms physiatrists have the expertise to address to enhance function. More research is needed to determine rehabilitation interventions to mitigate the impact of cGVHD on function.

High-risk chronic lymphocytic leukemia in the era of pathway inhibitors: integrating molecular and cellular therapies. Blood 2018; 132:892-902. [DOI: 10.1182/blood-2018-01-826008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 67] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2018] [Accepted: 07/06/2018] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
AbstractHigh-risk chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) has been defined by clinical and/or genetic resistance (TP53 abnormalities) to treatment with chemoimmunotherapy (CIT). With the availability of pathway inhibitors (PIs), such as kinase inhibitors and BCL2 antagonists, the outlook of CIT-resistant patients has dramatically improved. Here, we propose a revision of the concept of high-risk CLL, driven by TP53 abnormalities and response to treatment with PI. CLL high-risk-I, CIT-resistant is defined by clinically CIT-resistant disease with TP53 aberrations, but fully responsive to PI. This category is largely the domain of PI-based therapy, and cellular therapy (ie, allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation) remains an option only in selected patients with low individual procedure-related risk. In CLL high-risk-II, CIT- and PI-resistant, characterized by increasing exhaustion of pharmacological treatment possibilities, cellular therapies (including chimeric antigen receptor-engineered T cells) should be considered in patients eligible for these procedures. Moreover, molecular and cellular therapies are not mutually exclusive and could be used synergistically to exploit their full potential.

Abstract
OPINION STATEMENT Second malignancies are a rare but well-defined late complication after autologous and allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (SCT). Solid malignancies occur in up to 15% of patients 15 years after SCT with myeloablative conditioning, with no plateau in the incidence rates. They are responsible for 5-10% of late deaths after SCT. The incidence is increased with advanced age at SCT. The major risk factors are the use of total body irradiation, which is associated with adenocarcinomas and with chronic graft-versus-host disease which is associated with squamous cell cancers. There is less data on the incidence of second malignancies after reduced-intensity conditioning, but it may not be lower. The types of solid tumors reported in excess include melanoma and other skin cancers; cancers of the oral cavity and head and neck, brain, liver, uterine cervix, thyroid, breast, lung; and possibly gastrointestinal cancers. Therapy-related myeloid neoplasms (t-MN) are more common after autologous SCT and may be related mostly to pre-transplant therapies. Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease is donor-cell-derived lymphoma that is more common after allogeneic SCT with T-cell depletion or intensive immune-suppression state. Second malignancies are most often treated similarly to the standard therapy for similar malignancies. Lifelong cancer screening and prevention interventions are required for all transplantation survivors.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To describe the development, launch, implementation, and outcomes of a unique multisite collaborative (ie, IMPACT-ICU [Integrating Multidisciplinary Palliative Care into the ICU]) to teach ICU nurses communication skills specific to palliative care. To identify options for collaboration between oncology and critical care nurses when integrating palliation into nursing care planning. DATA SOURCES Published literature and collective experiences of the authors in the provision of onco-critical-palliative care. CONCLUSION While critical care nurses were the initial focus of education, oncology, telemetry, step-down, and medical-surgical nurses within five university medical centers subsequently participated in this learning collaborative. Participants reported enhanced confidence in communicating with patients, families, and physicians, offering emotional support and involvement in family meetings. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE Communication education is a vital yet missing element of undergraduate nursing education. Programs should be offered in the work setting to address this gap in needed nurse competency, particularly within the context of onco-critical-palliative care.

Abstract
As more individuals survive their hematologic malignancies after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), there is growing appreciation of the late organ complications of this curative procedure for malignant and nonmalignant hematologic disorders. Late noninfectious pulmonary complications encompass all aspects of the bronchopulmonary anatomy. There have been recent advances in the diagnostic recognition and management of bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome, which is recognized as a pulmonary manifestation of chronic graft-versus-host disease. Organizing pneumonia and other interstitial lung diseases are increasingly recognized. This article provides an update on these entities as well as pleural and pulmonary vascular disease after allogeneic HSCT.

Abstract
Pretransplant pulmonary function tests provide baseline data by which to reference subsequent respiratory impairment, as well as important prognostic information, for the hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) recipient. Abnormalities in forced expiratory volume in 1 second and diffusing capacity of carbon monoxide are associated with early respiratory failure and increased all-cause mortality after allogeneic HCT. These parameters have been incorporated into risk assessment calculators that may aid in clinical decision making. This article discusses the clinical implications of pulmonary function parameters and other risk factors for pulmonary complications in the context of evolving allogeneic HCT practice.
