Venetoclax induces rapid elimination of NPM1 mutant measurable residual disease in combination with low-intensity chemotherapy in acute myeloid leukaemia.
Based on promising results in older adults with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), we treated patients with NPM1<sup>mut</sup> measurable residual disease (MRD) using off-label venetoclax in combination with low-dose cytarabine ...
Prognostic value of automated KI67 scoring in breast cancer: a centralised evaluation of 8088 patients from 10 study groups.
(BIOMED CENTRAL LTD, 2016-10-18)
