Dutch population-based research provides insight into the most commonly used treatment strategies for people with relapsed and refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma.

Risk of diabetes in hemochromatosis C282Y homozygotes

22-06-2023 Hematology News

Hemochromatosis C282Y homozygotes have an increased risk of diabetes even if they have normal levels of iron, transferrin saturation or ferritin. Current treatment, which focuses on lowering ferritin, may not adequately reduce the risk of diabetes.

Outcomes and safety of axicabtagene ciloleucel
