Medical care through telemedicine technologies for plasma cell tumors has been provided at the National Medical Research Center for Hematology since 2018. Patients are consulted at the “doctor–doctor” level in the field of “hematology”. Another important aspect of the application of telemedicine at the National Medical Research Center for Hematology is scientific, practical and educational activities aimed at developing remote interaction with medical institutions, developing ways to improve interaction with specialized medical organizations.Aim. To present the implementation of the main applications of telemedicine technologies on the example of paraproteinemic hemoblastoses.Materials and methods. From October 2018 to October 2022 the department of hematology and chemotherapy of paraproteinemic hemoblastoses with bone marrow and hematopoietic stem cells transplantation unit of National Medical Research Center for Hematology received 815 telemedicine requests (701 – primary, 114 – repeated). In 93.6 % of cases, telemedicine consultation was required for multiple myeloma, 2.6 % of requests included information about patients with solitary plasmacytoma, in individual cases, regional hematologists made inquiries about patients with plasma cell leukemia, plasmablastic lymphoma, Waldenstrom’s macroglobulinemia.Results. There has been an annual increase in the number of telemedicine consultations for multiple myeloma. Of the 73 participating regions, the most active were: Tambov Region, Altai Territory, Vladimir Region, Republic of Crimea, Republic of Buryatia, Krasnodar Territory, and Krasnoyarsk Territory. Most of the consultations are aimed at clarifying the tactics of treating multiple myeloma. In 20 % and 22 % of cases, first- and second-line therapy was recommended. In response to 21 % of requests, recommendations were given for the treatment of multiple myeloma complicated by double and triple refractoriness. In 14 % of requests, insufficient information content of medical documentation did not allow expressing an adequate opinion on the tactics of patient management. Hospitalization at the National Medical Research Center for Hematology for the purpose of autologous hematopoietic stem cells transplantation was recommended in 10 % of cases. An analysis of 4 % of telemedicine requests testified to the expediency of palliative treatment and local radiation therapy at the place of residence. The main disadvantages of requests are the lack of primary information when establishing a diagnosis and information on disease monitoring during therapy, as well as the presence of excessive information in medical records.Conclusion. An analysis of telemedicine consultations for paraproteinemic hemoblastoses over a 4‑year period indicates a high need for regional hematologists to discuss therapy tactics with doctors from the federal center.

Assessment of lung injury in oncohematological patients is a relevant problem, since the spectrum of pathological changes is wide and includes pulmonary infections, tumor cell infiltration, cardiogenic and non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema, bronchiolitis obliterans, interstitial pneumonitis, post-radiation and post-inflammatory pneumofibrosis, pulmonary vasculopathy and pleural effusion. At the moment there are no approved recommendations with criteria of differential diagnosis for these conditions, in particular, with differences between the most common therapy complication represented by pulmonary infections and poorly explored drug-induced toxic lesions.Aim. Identification of criteria for pneumotoxicity, allowing for differential diagnosis with pulmonary infections developing during chemotherapy, according to data routinely obtained in real clinical practice.Materials and methods. The study group included 38 patients with cytotoxic and autoimmune lung injury caused by specific therapy (group 1); the comparison group included 38 patients with infectious lesions receiving the same antitumor drugs (group 2). The data of the anamnesis, clinical course, instrumental studies and standard laboratory tests was studied retrospectively. For statistical analysis, the Mann–Whitney, χ2, Kruskal–Wallis tests were used. ROC analysis was performed to assess the sensitivity and specificity of various factors in relation to toxic damage.Results. Patients with lymphomas predominated in group of toxic lung injury (63 %). In patients who underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cells transplantation, toxic complications developed in the period from 35 to 1289 days, infectious – from 4 to 43 days. Statistically significant differences were obtained in the presence of a concomitant state of an altered immune response: 32 % of patients in the toxic lesion group versus 5 % in the infectious group had a history of allergy, and, in contrast to the infectious lesion group, in the toxic lesion group autoimmune diseases were detected. The main symptom in patients of the first group was shortness of breath, which was observed in 68 % of cases, of the second – an increased body temperature, observed in 92 % of cases; cough was also a common symptom – in 19 % and 13 % of patients respectively. In 58 % of patients of the second group, concomitant mucositis was detected, while in the first group this complication did not occur in any of them. The most common radiological pattern (71 % of cases in each group) was ground-glass opacities, in patients of the second group often combined with infiltrative changes and thickening of the bronchial walls (in 53 and 42 % of cases respectively).

Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) is a rare variant of highly aggressive lymphomas in children and adolescents. ALCL is characterized by a heterogeneous clinical manifestation with nodal and extranodal lesions, various morphological variants, variable expression of T-cell markers and cytogenetic aberrations involving the ALK gene. Due to the rarity of this disease (up to 10–15 % of all non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas in children), there are no uniform standards for ALCL therapy. Block treatment schemes similar to those applied in the treatment of B-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas are used; less often there can be used protocols similar to the therapy of acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Taking into account the unfavorable effect on the prognosis of T-cell markers expression in ALCL, we developed protocol ALCL-NII DOG-2003, which considered the immunological features of the tumor.Aim. To assess the effectiveness of differentiated immunobased ALCL therapy by domestic protocol ALCL-NII DOG-2003.Materials and methods. From 01.03.1997 to 01.10.2022, 60 patients with primary diagnosed ALCL were included in the study. The diagnosis was based on histological, immunohistochemical and cytogenetic criteria of WHO classification of hematopoietic and lymphoid tissues tumors. According to treatment program, patients were subdivided in 2 groups: patients treated by NHL-BFM 95 protocol (n = 21) and by ALCL-NII DOG-2003 (n = 39). The male:female ratio was 1,3:1 in group of patients with NHL-BFM 95 protocol and 1,4:1 – in ALCL-NII DOG 2003.

To compare the secretion of interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-10 (IL-10) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) in cancer patients with anemia of chronic disease (ACD), iron deficiency anemia (IDA) and a combination of these two anemia types. To assess the effect of the studied cytokines on erythropoiesis in patients with malignant neoplasms separately for each type of anemia studied.Materials and methods. 106 patients with stage II–IV of solid malignant neoplasms were examined: 84 with anemia (55 men, 29 women, 67.1 ± 9.9 years), 22 without anemia (17 men, 5 women, mean age 60.2 ± 14.9 years). In accordance with Van Santen and Worwood criteria, by determining the transferrin saturation coefficient, ferritin concentrations, C-reactive protein, patients were divided into 4 groups: group 1 – patients with ACD, 31 (20 / 11 patients), 2 group – ACD / IDA, 28 (18 / 10 patients), group 3 – IDA, 25 (17 / 8 patients), group 4 (control) – 22 patients without anemia. In all patients, the number of erythrocytes, the concentration of hemoglobin, ferritin, C-reactive protein, transferrin saturation coefficient, IL-6, TNF-α, IL-10 were determined. For quantitative indicators, the arithmetic mean and interquartile range (IQR) were calculated. Significance of differences between several unrelated groups was determined using the Kruskal–Wallis test. To assess the relationship between variables, the Spearman correlation coefficient (r) was calculated.Results. In the ACD group, the maximum IL-6 concentration was 73.3 (IQR 6.2–51), TNF-α – 24.4 (IQR 15.3–60.7) and IL-10 – 8.7 (IQR 4.7–12.1) compared with the ACH3 / IDA group (IL-6 – 9.3 [IQR 4.4–13.2], TNF-α – 7.2 [IQR 4.5–9.6] and IL-10 – 6.7 [IQR 4.1–11.4]), and the IDA group (IL-6 – 3.4 [IQR 1.4–5.9], TNF-α – 4.6 [IQR 3.7–6] and IL-10 – 2.5 [IQR 0–5]) (p <0.05). In the ACD group, the highest correlation coefficients were found between IL-6 and erythrocytes (r = –0.74) and hemoglobin (r = –0.88), between TNF-α and erythrocytes (r = –0.66) and hemoglobin (r = –0.77), between IL-10 and erythrocytes (r = –0.36) and hemoglobin (r = –0.63). In the IDA group, the correlation coefficients between cytokines, erythrocytes, and hemoglobin are low or absent.Conclusion. In cancer patients, ACD, IDA, as well as their combination can occur. Increased cytokine secretion in ACD group patients is important due to the proven strong negative effect of cytokines on erythropoiesis. Further study of ACD pathogenesis is needed in order to improve treatment.","PeriodicalId":36905,"journal":{"name":"Klinicheskaya Onkogematologiya/Clinical Oncohematology","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85877213","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
