It is well known that patient cannot be cured completely by available therapeutic methods. In addition, the effectiveness of available therapies is especially limited in advanced stages of the disease. Based on the results of the most recent trials, the experts recommend that brentuximab vedotin (BV) should be reimbursed in Poland for the treatment of adult patients with CTCL expressing CD30 who have had at least one prior systemic treatment. In case of MF BV should be preferred to bexarotene or MTX therapy due to the higher efficacy in stage IIB or higher. BV treatment should be also considered as an alternative to bexarotene (after ineffectiveness of local treatment, phototherapy and IFN/MTX therapy) in early stages of MF (IB-IIA).","PeriodicalId":38988,"journal":{"name":"Hematologia","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84710021","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}

Approximately 60% of cases require treatment initiation due to disease advancement. Immunochemotherapy enables achievement of durable remissions in some of the patients, however despite the observed complete responses relapses occur. These are explained by the persistence of residual leukemic cells in blood, bone marrow and lymph nodes, defined as minimal residual disease (MRD). Use of flow cytometry and molecular methods in assessment of treatment response allows for more detailed response quantification and detection of leukemic cells with ≥ 10-5 sensitivity. Elimination of MRD is an important prognosticator of durable remissions following immunochemotherapy. Furthermore, the significance of MRD assessment increases due to its possible role in CLL treatment individualization and potential surrogate marker of response without the need of long lasting observations. Herein in this publication, the clinical significance of MRD assessment emphasizing flow cytometric methodology is summarized.","PeriodicalId":38988,"journal":{"name":"Hematologia","volume":"59 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83991616","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}
