Risk assessment for patients with chronic myeloid leukaemia before allogeneic blood or marrow transplantation

TLDR
In this paper, a simple system based on five main factors gives adequate risk assessment for counselling of patients and taking decisions, which is highly predictive for leukaemia-free survival, survival and transplant-related mortality.

Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT)-specific comorbidity index: a new tool for risk assessment before allogeneic HCT.

TL;DR: The new simple index provided valid and reliable scoring of pretransplant comorbidities that predicted nonrelapse mortality and survival and will be useful for clinical trials and patient counseling before HCT.

European LeukemiaNet recommendations for the management of chronic myeloid leukemia: 2013

TL;DR: Optimal responders to chronic myeloid leukemia treatment should continue therapy indefinitely, with careful surveillance, or they can be enrolled in controlled studies of treatment discontinuation once a deeper molecular response is achieved.

Chronic Myeloid Leukemia: An Update of Concepts and Management Recommendations of European LeukemiaNet

TL;DR: Imatinib should be continued indefinitely in optimal responders and second-generation TKIs are recommended, followed by allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation only in instances of failure and, sometimes, suboptimal response, depending on transplantation risk.

Analysing Survival Data from Clinical Trials and Observational Studies

TL;DR: In this paper, the Cox regression model is used to estimate the survival probability of a single patient in a randomized clinical trial, and a non-parametric method for the comparison of survival curves is proposed.

Interferon alfa-2a as compared with conventional chemotherapy for the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared recombinant interferon alfa-2a with conventional chemotherapy (hydroxyurea or busulfan) in a trial designed to have a power of 80 percent to detect a difference of 20 percent in median survival.

Interferon alfa-2b combined with cytarabine versus interferon alone in chronic myelogenous leukemia

TL;DR: The combination of interferon and cytarabine, as compared withinterferon alone, increases the rate of major cytogenetic response and prolongs survival in patients with the chronic phase of chronic myelogenous leukemia.
