India faces a major healthcare burden of Transfusion Dependent Thalassemia.
Transplant is a curative treatment available for patients who have a Matched sibling donor.
An important question that arises is does transplant make a difference in long term quality of life
English
Transplant had a profound, long-term improvement in the multi-dimensional quality of life for children suffering from beta -thalassemia major.

English
Graft versus host disease had a negative impact on quality of life.
English
Used The PedsQL 4.0 Generic Core Scales to assess QOL. Significant Overall Improvement: The transplant (Tx) group scored significantly higher across all domains of health-related quality of life compared to the non-transplant (NTx) group (p < 0.05). This includes improvements

@HiraSMian @rajshekharucms @Rfonsi1 @RahulBanerjeeMD @DrRakeshPopat @bdermanmd @HadidiSamer I had the opportunity to use Elrana as a part of CUP in RRMM. The peripheral neuropathy/GBS was so debilitating that the patient said he had had enough of the drug, wanted it stopped for him.

@Papa_Heme I hope you are not being sarcastic.
An expert once told me what are you gonna do with it if you had access?

Honestly I can’t wait until ctDNA becomes prime time for monitoring response to cancer treatment. I’ll gladly never order a scan again.

@Papa_Heme If you stop ordering scans you won't have any incidentalomas to follow-up on.

@BloodCancerJnl Would be keen to understand what they do in a CHIP clinic? And what profile of patients are seen in a CHIP clinic

Hematologists treat acute leukemias at most centers across the country . Excluding hematologists from clinical trials of “HEMATOLOGICAL MALIGNANCIES “ makes absolutely no sense and is an irony in itself . Really unfortunate that instead of widening access to patients , policy decisions ignore ground realities and come up with such absurd ideas @jayastuMD @royjpalatty @VergheseRenjith @chepsyphilip @TK2K6 @ishbtish @hematologydr @TribikramHemat @TikareNakul @Rohanhematdoc @shanuaswam @RahulDoc2 @dranupjdevasia

Has the @CDSCO_INDIA_INF conveniently forgotten that there are #hematologists who are specially trained to treat #bloodcancers ? This order has surprised me as I was a member of the Subject Expert Committee of CDSCO on #HematologyOncology for more than 5 years. If CDSCO feels hematooncologists are not competent to conduct #clinicaltrials on patients with blood cancers then should we stop treating these patients ? @NMC_IND @MoHFW_INDIA @DrPMPGI @RahulDoc2 @drtulikahemat

@nikhil91sjmc I think it is one of most obnoxious orders I have seen. Makes me question the credibility of the organisation.

@GomezDLeonMD Too bad. There is a Phase 2 Rituxumab+ Benda study. You could do that.

How would you treat a person with a hairy cell leukemia without these drugs:
- Cladribine
- Pentostatin
- Interferon
- Vemurafenib
None available in 🇲🇽 as big pharma is not interested in selling them here (despite 3/4 having regulatory authorization!).

@HadidiSamer @OncJournal @utswcancer @ldandersonjr @AimazAfrough @khancology Thank you. The article gave me a great insight about how to use them. Do you step down dosing to every 4 weeks irrespective of disease cytogenetics/high risk features if response is >VGPR?
