    Abstract The novel clinical data for myeloma that were presented in the 2017 Annual Meeting of the American Society of Hematology are summarized here. Studies with curative approach (CESAR) or prolonging progression-free survival (CENTAURUS) for patients with high-risk smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM) are described. Updated data from large phase III studies for patients with newly diagnosed MM (NDMM) who are eligible for autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) (EMN02, MRC XI) are described, along with the results of studies using novel anti-myeloma drug combinations for induction, consolidation, and maintenance as first-line therapy. The role of minimal residual disease for patients with MM is also discussed. We also present the results of novel phase III studies in patients with NDMM who are not eligible for ASCT (ALCYONE) and new data for their treatment. Recent updates of important studies in the field of relapsed/refractory MM (ASPIRE, POLLUX) along with novel immunotherapy approaches (anti-BCMA monoclonal antibodies, CART cells) are also reported. Finally, levofloxacin prophylaxis reduces febrile episodes and death events in NDMM, whereas 2 doses of high-dose influenza vaccine seem to maintain higher rates of seroprotection compared with those who received standard vaccination. All these data provide the basis for possible changes in the way we manage myeloma in the near future trying to "cure" the disease in many patients.

    Abstract Multiple myeloma (MM) represents a hematological neoplasia with an uncontrolled proliferation of malignant plasma cells and complex cytogenetic abnormalities. t(11;14) has emerged as a crucial genetic aberration and is one of the most common primary translocations in MM. Patients harboring t(11;14) represent a distinctive subgroup with a clinical profile that differs from t(11;14)-negative MM risk categories. One of the key features linked with t(11;14) is the BCL2 dependency, indicating vulnerability to BCL2 inhibition. BCL2 inhibitors, such as venetoclax, demonstrated impressive efficacy alone or in combination with other anti-myeloma drugs in patients with RRMM accompanied by t(11;14) and BCL2 overexpression. Therefore, t(11;14) plays a key role in both risk stratification and informed decision making towards a tailored therapy. In this review, we highlight the biology of t(11;14) in MM cells, summarize the current evolving role of t(11;14) in the era of novel agents and novel targeted therapies, illuminate current efficacy and safety data of BCL2-based treatment options and explore the future prospects of individualized precision medicine for this special subgroup of patients with MM.

    Abstract Obesity is a global pandemic that has been associated with the development of breast, endometrial, large intestine, renal, esophageal, and pancreatic cancer. Obesity is also involved in the development of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Recently, an increase in the incidence of obesity-related cancers has been reported. Multiple myeloma (MM) is the second most common hematological malignancy, after lymphoma. The aim of this review is to examine the epidemiological data on obesity and MM, assess the effect of obesity on MM outcomes, evaluate the possible mechanisms through which obesity might increase the incidence of MM and provide the effects of obesity management on MM. Current evidence indicates that obesity may have an impact on the progression of monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) to MM and increase the prevalence of MM. However, data regarding the effect of obesity on MGUS incidence are controversial; further studies are needed to examine whether obesity affects the development of MGUS or the progression of MGUS to MM. In addition, obesity affects MM outcomes. Increased BMI is associated with decreased survival in patients with MM, while data regarding the effect of obesity on newly diagnosed MM subjects and autologous stem cell transplantation are limited. Interestingly, the obesity paradox may also apply to patients with relapsed/refractory MM who are overweight or obese, because they may have a survival advantage. The pathophysiological pathways linking obesity to MM are very complicated and include bone marrow adipose tissue; adipokines, such as adiponectin, leptin, resistin, and visfatin; inflammatory cytokines and growth factors, such as TNF-α and IL-6; hormones including insulin and the insulin-like growth factor system as well as sex hormones. In terms of the effect of pharmacological management of obesity, orlistat has been shown to alter the proliferation of MM cells, whereas no data exist on glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, naltrexone/bupropion, or phentermine/topiramate. Bariatric surgery may be associated with a reduction in the incidence of MM, however, further studies are needed.

    Abstract The novel clinical data for plasma cell neoplasms (smoldering myeloma, multiple myeloma (MM) and AL-amyloidosis) that were presented in the 2016 Annual Meeting of the American Society of Hematology are summarized here. Data from large phase 3 studies for newly diagnosed MM patients who are eligible for autologous transplantation (EMN02, MRC XI and StaMINA trials) are described along with the results of phase 2 studies using novel anti-myeloma drug combinations for induction, consolidation and maintenance as first line therapy. Recent updates of previous important studies in the field of both newly diagnosed (FIRST) and relapsed/refractory MM (POLLUX, CASTOR) are also reported. Moreover, the results of clinical studies with the use of anti-myeloma drugs with new mechanisms of action, including pembrolizumab, selinexor, venetoclax and monoclonal antibodies, are discussed. All these data provide the basis for possible changes in the way we manage myeloma in the near future trying to "cure" the disease.

    Abstract Background/aim: The presence of a monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) even in small amounts may trigger tissue damage through immunological or other mechanisms, irrespective of the potential for malignant transformation. The aim of the study was to present a case of monoclonal gammopathy of clinical significance with ocular manifestations and discuss relevant literature.
    Case report: In our case, a patient presented with vision disturbances that was eventually attributed to the underlying IgM MGUS after extensive workup to exclude other potential etiologies. The patient showed a clinical response with the fixed-duration DRC (dexamethasone, rituximab, cyclophosphamide) regimen that persisted for at least 1.5 years. Herein, we present, in detail, the patient management and discuss the underlying pathophysiology of this rare entity with few available published data in this field.
    Conclusion: A high level of clinical suspicion is necessary in order to detect the association between MGUS and a clinical sign or symptom that cannot be attributed elsewhere.

    Abstract Objectives: To synthesize data on circulating ferritin between patients with histologically confirmed nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and non-NAFLD controls.
    Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library. Thirty-one studies comprising data on 5631 individuals (2929 biopsy-proven NAFLD patients and 2702 controls) were included in the meta-analysis.
    Results: Higher circulating ferritin levels were observed in NAFLD patients than in controls [standardized mean difference (SMD) 1.14; 95% confidence interval (95% CI) 0.73-1.55], in patients with simple nonalcoholic fatty liver (NAFL) than in controls (SMD 0.57; 95% CI 0.34-0.80), in patients with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) than in controls (SMD 0.95; 95% CI 0.69-1.22), and in NASH than in NAFL patients (SMD 0.62; 95% CI 0.25-0.99). There was moderate-to-high heterogeneity among studies in the above pairs of comparisons (
    Conclusions: Circulating ferritin was higher in NAFLD (or NAFL or NASH) patients compared with controls. Higher levels of circulating ferritin were also associated with the severity of the disease, which, however, should be cautiously interpreted.

    Abstract Background/aim: Waldenström's macroglobulinemia (WM) is a rare slow-growing B-cell lymphoma that is characterized by lymphoplasmacytic bone marrow infiltration and the production of monoclonal immunoglobulin M (IgM) paraprotein. In 5-10% of patients, WM undergoes transformation into diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), which is more aggressive, with poor prognosis and a low survival rate.
    Case report: Α 69-year-old woman was diagnosed with WM in 2009. She received six cycles of chemoimmunotherapy and a remarkable remission was achieved. However, in 2013 the disease transformed into DLBCL. The patient received chemotherapy and after the completion of the first cycle of therapy, the disease was significantly minimized. At the end of the therapy, there was no evidence of disease, and the patient remains disease-free. The cytogenetic profile of the patient did not reveal expression of BCL2 apoptosis regulator, BCL6 transcription repressor, Epstein-Barr virus small RNA, syndecan 1 nor cyclin D1. According to a staging system based on the platelet count, lactate dehydrogenase and previous treatment for WM, the described patient was classified as being at intermediate risk with an expected 2-year survival probability of 47% after WM transformation into DLBCL. However, the patient unexpectedly exceeded these prognostic indications.
    Conclusion: The findings for this patient are of great interest compared with the existing literature which suggests that the survival and prognosis for patients with transformed DLBCL are not favorable.
