Thirty-seven US hematologists participated (65% male; 65% white, 24% Asian, none Black), randomly assigned to meet with a Black or white patient actor. The hematologists emphasized the benefits of a full match with the white patient and high chance of securing a donor. Conversely, with the Black patient, they tended not to ask about ancestry, discuss the donor registry, race implications or challenges with donor search. Knowing the patient had children, many recommended haploidentical transplant. The unique circumstances of transplant argue for a focused communication including discussing race.

After an overview of the current understanding of the molecular dysregulation of c-MYC, we will show how CLL, both in its indolent and transformed phases, has developed among other B-cell lymphomas a tight regulation of its expression through the chronic activation of B-Cell Receptors (among others). This is particularly important if one desires to understand the mechanisms at stake in the over-expression of c-MYC especially in the lymph nodes compartment. So doing, we will show how this oncogene orchestrates pivotal cellular functions such as metabolism, drug resistance, proliferation and histologic transformation (Richter syndrome).</p>","PeriodicalId":18047,"journal":{"name":"Leukemia & Lymphoma","volume":" ","pages":"805-817"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142915450","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
