    Abstract Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are hematopoietic stem cell neoplasms characterized by bone marrow failure with a propensity to develop into acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Recent advances in genome-wide analyses have enabled identification of most somatic gene mutations responsible for MDS, and multiplex gene-panel testing for hematological malignancies will be available soon. Thus, identification of genetic abnormalities is now enabling precise diagnosis and risk-stratification of MDS. Recently, two diagnostic classification systems for MDS have been published as updates to the previous WHO classification of myeloid tumors. The IPSS-M has also been proposed as a new risk-stratification system based on genetic abnormalities and known prognostic factors. Following identification of pathological processes in MDS, therapeutic agents that can alter the course of disease, including azacitidine and lenalidomide, were approved and became available in Japan. Several novel therapeutic agents are under development as well. This paper will discuss updated diagnostic and risk-stratification systems, as well as standard treatment strategies for MDS.

    Abstract Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are hematopoietic stem cell neoplasms, which are characterized as bone marrow failure with a propensity to develop acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Patients with MDS tend to be of higher age, with usually poor antineoplastic chemotherapy response. The life prognosis of MDS is poor, and its curative treatment is limited to allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation. Recent advances in hematopoietic cell transplantation, including alternative donors or reduced-intensity conditioning regimens, resulted in an expanded treatment indication for patients of higher age. Moreover, several novel therapeutic agents are implemented after the elucidation of pathological processes in MDS. Therapeutic agents that can alter the disease course, including azacitidine and lenalidomide, are approved and available in Japan. Additionally, other therapeutic agents for MDS, such as erythropoiesis-stimulating agents and oral iron chelators, are also available, and clinical trials for novel agents are also underway. This study discussed the updated risk-stratified treatment strategies for MDS and the development of novel agents.

    Abstract Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are neoplastic diseases of the hematopoietic stem cells, caused by genetic mutations. The clinical courses of MDS are highly variable based on the underlying genetic aberrations, ranging from slowly progressing cytopenia to rapidly-manifesting fatal diseases, including the development of acute myelogenous leukemia. The management of lower-risk MDS, which is risk-stratified based on the revised International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS-R), mainly consists of a supportive therapy, including blood transfusion to treat anemia and thrombocytopenia. Recently, three novel drugs were approved, which became available in Japan. These include darbepoetin alfa, an erythropoiesis-stimulating agent; lenalidomide, which is specifically active for anemia of 5q- syndrome; and deferasirox, an oral iron-chelating agent. Decision analyses also provide evidence in determining the optimal timing for the potentially curative allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for lower-risk MDS. Thus, the management of lower-risk MDS should be optimized using these novel agents and newly available evidence.

    Abstract Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are characterized by clonal proliferation of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells and their apoptosis, and show a propensity to progress to acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). Although MDS are recognized as neoplastic diseases caused by genomic aberrations of hematopoietic cells, the details of the genetic abnormalities underlying disease development have not as yet been fully elucidated due to difficulties in analyzing chromosomal abnormalities. Recent advances in comprehensive analyses of disease genomes including whole-genome sequencing technologies have revealed the genomic abnormalities in MDS. Surprisingly, gene mutations were found in approximately 80-90% of cases with MDS, and the novel mutations discovered with these technologies included previously unknown, MDS-specific, mutations such as those of the genes in the RNA-splicing machinery. It is anticipated that these recent studies will shed new light on the pathophysiology of MDS due to genomic aberrations.

    Abstract Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is a disorder in which an activated complement causes intravascular hemolysis of erythrocytes that do not have complement regulators. It is critical to monitor the rapid progression of hemolysis caused by infection and thrombosis. As far as we can tell, this is the first report of 5 COVID-19 patients with PNH in Japan. Three patients were being treated with ravulizumab, one with eculizumab, and one with crovalimab. All five cases had received two or more COVID-19 vaccinations. COVID-19 was classified as mild in four cases and moderate in one. None of the cases required the use of oxygen, and none became severe. All of them experienced breakthrough hemolysis, and two required red blood cell transfusions. In any case, no thrombotic complications were observed.

    Abstract Background: Among myeloproliferative neoplasms, it is often difficult to distinguish essential thrombocythaemia (ET) from prefibrotic-stage primary myelofibrosis (PMF) with thrombocytosis given their overlapping clinicopathological phenotypes.
    Case presentation: We encountered a 45-year-old male who was initially diagnosed with ET and eventually became transformed to secondary myelofibrosis 20 years later. Two distinct types of aberrant megakaryocytes were observed at diagnosis: one type characteristic of ET and the other type characteristic of PMF. With a proliferation in the bone marrow, aberrant megakaryocytes were infiltrated into the extramedullary organs and were even present in the thrombus were observed at autopsy. As a result of next-generation sequencing, the significant increase of variant allele frequency (VAF) of
    Conclusions: This patient could be recognized as an atypical case of aggressive megakaryocytosis transformed from ET.

    Abstract Background: Leukoencephalopathy is identified during the administration of anticancer drugs. Symptoms vary from neurological symptoms to psychiatric symptoms depending on the site of damage. There have been no previous reports of suicide attempts due to drug-induced leukoencephalopathy.
    Case presentation: The patient was diagnosed with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) infiltrating the pharyngeal lesion. Rituximab + methotrexate + oncovin + procarbazine (R-MPV) therapy, a methotrexate-containing chemotherapy, was initiated. At the end of the fifth course, the patient attempted suicide by hanging with an appliance cord, which was associated with delusion. A head MRI scan showed no evidence of lymphoma recurrence, but white matter lesions around the ventricles showed progression.
    Conclusion: We report the case of a patient in whom drug-induced leukoencephalopathy related to methotrexate led to a suicide attempt. In addition to monitoring brain tumors, daily monitoring of psychiatric and neurological symptoms is important for patients with methotrexate-induced encephalopathy.
