Data on the safety profiles and clinical outcomes of patients with solid tumors cardiac metastasis treated immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are limited. This is an international multicenter retrospective study cancer at baseline. Patients who had received ≥1 dose ICI were included. Treatment-related adverse events (trAEs) graded per Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Event V.5.0.

Lupus anticoagulant-hypoprothrombinemia syndrome (LAHPS) is a rare acquired bleeding disorder secondary to development of antibodies against prothrombin protein, in the presence antiphospholipid antibodies. We describe case 13-year-old girl who presented with severe menorrhagia and symptomatic anemia. Labs indicated anemia, thrombocytopenia, elevated PT aPTT, high-titer inhibitor on mixing studies, positive ANA anti-dsDNA antibodies, along triple-positive antibody panel. Given additional...
Aplastic anemia (AA) is a bone marrow failure syndrome of pancytopenia due to impaired hematopoiesis. It strongly associated with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH). Each condition can cause the other, or occur simultaneously. There are no guidelines for treating concomitant AA and PNH; immunosuppressive therapy (IST) hematopoietic stem cell (HSCT) first-line former, eculizumab latter. New studies suggest that AA/PNH together versus sequentially should depend on severity. We report...
