New RWE data on the GMALL 2002 protocol in adult Burkitt lymphoma:
In a retrospective study of 48 pts, ORR was 81.6% with 3y-PFS/OS of 73%.
High toxicity, but no grade 5 events.
Burkitt leukemia & BM involvement = adverse factors.
Further trials needed.

@DrPharmDMDTh Teratoma-AFP?, Seminoma-LDH?🤔. This might need some revision. AFP can occure in immature teratocarcinoma and in approx. 30% hCG can be detected in peripheral vein blood in seminoma pts. LDH however - I think - is a strong prognostic marker all over seminoma and non seminoma.
Today we saw a 30 year old male with the new diagnosis of recurrent metastatic germ cell cancer. He has a history of prior severe anaphylactic reaction to etoposide. What salvage treatment would you suggest? 4xTIP or seq. HD-CE changing etoposide to etoposide phosphate?
@bensmithlive Non-communicable disease such as heart diseases kill 36 Million people per year with poor diet and physical inactivity
as risk factors. It‘s not about longevity for individuals but to prevent millions from suffering and to safe billions $ that could be used for other purposes
Anybody using the ipfsg update calculator in the clinic on a regular basis?This calculation for example shows a rather low Pfs still for a „good prognosis“ constellation with NS. What to do with it?
"Out now: High dose CTX offers curative potential and is feasible if conducted after conventional dosed salvage regimens in r/r GTC pts. The 5-year OS rate is 37% compared to 63% when HD is used as first salvage regimen. Therefore always consider HD-CTX". https://t.co/EOMynAkVL3
Ever seen a Seminoma Patient with excessively high hCG levels, so that chorionic features are suspected? We worked up Patients with hCG levels >1000 U/l at first diagnosis finding a subtpye of pure Seminoma with Syncytiotrophoblasts

@stemagno74@PTarantinoMD Mustard gas was used in WW I - "Loste" founded by Lommel and Steinkopf causing significant myelo suppression in wounded soldiers. Later "Loste" for treatment use were developed such as cyclophosphamide, bendamustin (developed in Eastern Germany), ifosfamide, melphalan and so on.
@SuyogCancer@VPrasadMDMPH@NEJM However, doctors who treat and see patients should be included in these decisions. Not people who sit in offices full time to make regulations...
