Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare and clinically aggressive lymphoma subtype. Current approaches have greatly improved patients outcomes, but relapse is inevitable. In phase IIIII clinical trials, ibrutinib has shown significant activity in patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) MCL. ⋯ Ibrutinib is effective and well tolerated in routine practice of R/R MCL treatment and our results are consistent with international clinical trials. The favorable toxicity profile and the high response rate made it possible to prescribe ibrutinib in severe somatic status, cytopenia, and even in the presence of infectious complications.

To analyze the results of treatment in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) within protocols AML-17 and modified AML-17 (mOML-17) as part of two consecutive pilot studies in order to develop the best treatment strategy for AML patients aged below 60 years. ⋯ The key factor that significantly affects the long-term results of therapy is the rate of MRD after the first course of induction CT.

Dyskeratosis congenita (DC) is a hereditary syndrome of bone marrow failure, which develops because of telomeres defects and combines with cancer predisposition. Its classical clinical features are skin pigmentation, nail dystrophy, oral leukoplakia (skin-mucosa triad). The goal is to describe the algorithm of diagnosis, clinical specificities of DC and specific treatment for cases of DC in one family. ⋯ The report underlines an importance of diagnosis of all family members for excluding an asymptomatic form after a case of DC has been already detected in that family. A high frequency of a toxicity and secondary neoplasia makes it necessary to realize an individual approach at treatment of each patient with DC (the earliest start of androgen treatment, prompt decision of implementation of allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation). The knowledge of pathogenesis, clinical features and principles of diagnosis and therapy of this disease is relevant to pediatricians and hematologists.

Thrombotic complications are the most significant factors determining the prognosis in myeloproliferative neoplasms. Markers for assessing the risk of thrombosis are the number of leukocytes, platelets, hemoglobin level, hematocrit, age, molecular status, history of thrombosis, obesity, arterial hypertension, hyperlipidemia, hereditary or acquired thrombophilia. The pathogenesis of thrombosis in patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms is complex and multifactorial. ⋯ Currently, antiplatelet and anticoagulant therapy is carried out on an individual basis. The algorithm for primary and secondary (after thrombosis) prevention requires development and testing. We present a clinical case of repeated arterial and venous thrombotic complications in a patient with primary myelofibrosis.

Indications of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in patients with primary myelofibrosis are intermediate-2 and high-risk group of DIPSS (Dynamic International Prognostic Scoring System), beginning of the disease in childhood. The other adverse factors affect engraftment and survival after allo-HSCT, example partialy matched donor. ⋯ The method for haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is T-cell-depletion. This is clinical case of T-cell-depleted haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in patient with primary myelofibrosis, the diagnosis was established in childhood.
