TL;DR: Lenalidomide plus dexamethasone is more effective than high-dose dexamETHasone alone in relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.

TL;DR: MPR-R significantly prolonged progression-free survival in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who were ineligible for transplantation, with the greatest benefit observed in patients 65 to 75 years of age.

TL;DR: This study adds to the evidence that patients with haematological malignancies have worse outcomes and the general Italian population with COVID-19 has high mortality, by calculating standardised mortality ratios between observed death in the study cohort and expected death by applying stratum-specific mortality rates.

TL;DR: The incidence of EM disease has increased, probably due to the availability of more sensitive imaging techniques and the prolongation of patients' survival, and HDT or novel agents seem not to increase the risk ofEM disease.

TL;DR: Findings indicate that the allele-specific PCR developed is a useful diagnostic tool for patients with Waldenström's macroglobulinemia or IgM-MGUS, and may therefore also represent a useful prognostic marker.
