    Abstract A 42-year-old female was transferred to our center from a regional hospital with 5-day history of flushing, fatigue, and chest pressure. On initial presentation to the regional hospital, computed tomography of chest revealed a large mediastinal mass with cardiac involvement. Supraclavicular lymph node biopsy demonstrated nongerminal center diffuse large B-cell lymphoma with Ki67 index near 100%. A transthoracic echocardiogram revealed a solid mass infiltrating the right atrium (RA) and right ventricle (RV), moderate tricuspid regurgitation, and a moderate pericardial effusion. Further assessment with cardiac magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a contrast avid mass with necrotic center invading into the RA and RV consistent with metastatic lymphoma. Prior to induction chemotherapy, her clinical course was complicated by supraventricular tachycardia that resolved after initiation of targeted chemotherapy against the lymphoma. Follow-up cardiac imaging 3 months later demonstrated decrease in size of the cardiac mass and the amount of pericardial effusion. This case demonstrates utility of multi-modality cardiac imaging in the diagnosis and assessing therapeutic response of diffuse large B-cell Lymphoma with cardiac involvement.

    Abstract Regulatory T (Tregs) cells play a crucial role in immunoregulation and promotion of immunological tolerance. Adoptive transfer of these cells has therefore been of interest in the field of bone marrow and solid organ transplantation, autoimmune diseases and allergy medicine. In bone marrow transplantation, Tregs play a pivotal role in the prevention of graft-verus-host disease (GvHD). This has generated interest in using adoptive Treg cellular therapy in the prevention and treatment of GvHD. There have been several barriers to the feasibility of Treg cellular therapy in the setting of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) which include low Treg concentration in peripheral blood, requiring expansion of the Treg population; instability of the expanded product with loss of FoxP3 expression; and issues related to the purity of the expanded product. Despite these challenges, investigators have been able to successfully expand these cells both in vivo and in vitro and have demonstrated that they can be safely infused in humans for the prevention and treatment of GvHD with no increase in relapse risk or infections risk.

    Abstract Mixed phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL) is thought to have poor outcome, and presence of the Philadelphia chromosome (Ph+) has been considered to be an adverse prognostic marker. However, most of these reports were in the pre-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) era. Recent limited reports indicate improved outcomes for MPAL with the addition of TKIs. We examined the outcomes of 241 cases of MPAL according to the 2008 WHO classification from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results registry. The MLL+ patients had a median age of 6 years while other subtypes occurred mostly in adults and had comparable age. On multivariate analyses and after adjustment for age, year of diagnosis and chemotherapy status, Ph+ MPAL patients had reduced risk of death in comparison to Ph(-) MPAL patients (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.28, P = .002). So, MLL+ MPAL had the worst outcome with a 10-fold increased risk of death in comparison to Ph+ MPAL patients (HR = 10.2, P < .001). Importantly, the outcome of Ph+ MPAL was comparable to Ph+ acute lymphoblastic leukemia in a 1:1 matched case-control analysis. In conclusion, this is the largest registry study which examines the outcomes of MPAL subtypes. We confirm that MPAL is a heterogenous disease. Note, Ph+ MPAL nowadays has a better OS in comparison to other subtypes and is comparable to Ph+ ALL patients. This is most likely secondary to changes in practice and more utilization of TKIs. On the other hand, MLL rearrangement is associated with infantile MPAL and has a dismal prognosis.

    Abstract Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the most common acute leukemia in American adults and portends a poor prognosis if untreated. Commonly, AML presents with symptoms related to concurrent leukopenia, anemia, or thrombocytopenia; however, due to its ability to affect many organ systems in the body, AML can have a highly varied clinical presentation. One such presentation is myocarditis, which is a rarely reported manifestation of AML. Myocarditis can have a varied clinical picture and often requires exclusion of other causes of cardiac dysfunction. Sweet syndrome, also known as acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis, is another presentation of AML; however, it is more commonly associated with AML than cardiac involvement. Sweet syndrome can occur in patients with an already established malignancy or can occur de novo in a patient with previously undiagnosed cancer and, interestingly, can also be accompanied by extracutaneous manifestations, one of which is myocarditis. Herein, we report a case of a 45-year-old male with a history of obesity and depression who presented with chest pain, a tender and diffuse rash, and pancytopenia. Heart catheterization performed at outside institution was negative for coronary artery disease. Cardiac MRI images were compatible with myocarditis. Dermal biopsy of the rash was consistent with sweet syndrome. Peripheral blood flow cytometry and bone marrow biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of AML. He was treated with an induction chemotherapy regimen of 7 days of cytarabine and 3 days of daunorubicin with resolution of his chest pain and skin lesions. The patient had persistent leukemia cells on day 14 postinduction bone marrow biopsy and was treated with high-dose cytarabine reinduction treatment. Bone marrow biopsy with count recovery after reinduction therapy revealed complete response (CR).

    Abstract Acute undifferentiated leukemia (AUL) is rare and defined by the absence of bona fide myeloid and lymphoid markers. Little is known about its incidence, survival and optimal management in the recent time period. Based on a case observed in our clinic, we queried the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database between 2000 and 2016. A total of 1,888 cases of AUL were diagnosed (1.34 per million person-years). The incidence of AUL has significantly decreased over time. Compared to other acute leukemias, patients with AUL have the highest median age (74 years); in contrast to acute myeloid leukemia (AML, 65) and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL, 12). Excluding patients with preexisting malignancies, 1,444 patients with AUL were analyzed for survival. Only 35% of AUL patients had received chemotherapy. Comparatively, 94% of ALL and 71% of AML cases received chemotherapy. Among AUL patients who received chemotherapy, the median survival was 12 months as opposed to 1 month in the group who did not receive chemotherapy (or unknown status). Among adults, AUL patients had the worst prognosis, with a median overall survival (OS) of 9 months, compared to 27 months in ALL and 13 months in AML. Among children, the median OS was superior for all three groups of leukemias, the OS of AUL patients being better than in AML and very similar to ALL. On multivariate analysis, older age and time period were associated with worse outcome. We describe here the largest series of cases with AUL published to date.

    Abstract Objective/background: Early stage classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) has an excellent outcome. Recent studies focus on decreasing toxicity related to the addition of radiation along with chemotherapy. Real-life reporting of the addition of radiation to chemotherapy is lacking. This study investigates the outcomes obtained from a statewide cancer registry for early stage cHL patients treated with chemotherapy alone (CT) versus patients treated with the combined modality of chemotherapy and radiation (CMT).
    Methods: A retrospective study of cHL patients diagnosed and treated was identified using a statewide cancer registry from 2005 to 2014. Patients with early stage disease (I, II) were then grouped on the basis of the presence of B symptoms into favorable and unfavorable groups. Baseline characteristics (age, gender, extranodal involvement, and histology) as well as overall survival were compared for both groups depending on whether they received CT or CMT as first line therapy for their cHL.
    Results: A total of 961 patients were identified; of those, 127 were excluded as they received only radiation or another form of treatment. Of the remaining patients, 293 were categorized as early stage favorable cHL (Group 1) and 130 adults were in the unfavorable cHL (Group 2). There were 335 patients with advanced stage cHL (Group 3) and 76 patients in an unknown stage. The 10-year overall survival for Group 1 was 81.3% versus 76.3% for Group 2 and 52.7% for Group 3. For Group 1, 10-year overall survival was 86.7% with CMT versus 75.1% for those receiving CT only (p = .004). For Group 2, there was no difference in 10-year overall survival between the CMT group (80.0%) and CT (72.5%) (p = .73).
    Conclusion: While radiation therapy might increase long-term toxicity in cHL, in our large data cohort, radiotherapy consolidation as part of the initial therapy for early stage disease provides superior survival at 10 years, especially in favorable risk cHL.

    Abstract We report our single-center experience with cytarabine and idarubicin for induction therapy for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with an additional 5 days of cladribine (IAC therapy). From July 2012 to September 2014, 38 patients completed a full course of IAC induction. Median patient age was 61 years, 61% of patients were ≥60 years old, and 71% were male. The complete remission (CR) rate was 63% following a single induction course, three patients (8%) required a second induction course to achieve CR, for an overall response rate of 71%. The median duration of severe neutropenia was 30.5 days. Thirty-two percent of patients developed mucositis, 76% experienced diarrhea, and 61% developed a rash. Incidence of CR following IAC induction therapy for AML was comparable to historical data, but with frequent diarrhea, rash, and fungal infections. This study found IAC efficacy and toxicity was similar irrespective of age.
