I am a hematologist-oncologist who specializes in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), myelodysplastic syndromes and bone marrow transplantation. Every day, I collaborate with my colleagues at the OSUCCC – James to create targeted therapies for each patient. Cancer is complex, but I’m confident our research continues to bring us closer to finding a cure. It’s an honor to work at one of the nation’s premier cancer hospitals. Our collective expertise results in faster responses, fewer side effects and more hope for cancer patients everywhere.
DOCK1 inhibitor Box5 (TFA) suppresses proliferation of AML cell lines and prolongs survival in AML xenograft models
Abstract The Dedicator of Cytokinesis1 (DOCK1) has been implicated in solid tumors; however, its precise role and therapeutic potential in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) remain largely unexplored. Here we investigated the prognostic significance and functional roles of DOCK1 in AML…
Secondary Malignancies After Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation
Highlight The 10-year incidence of non-cutaneous SM (6.8%) confirms its impact on late NRM. SM subtype distribution and timing vary by transplant: t-MDS/AML after auto-HCT, PTLD early after allo-HCT. PTLD declined markedly, nearly disappearing in the PTCy era with less ATG/Cord…
Long-term outcomes of patients surviving beyond 2 years post–allogeneic stem cell transplantation.
Abstract 6508 Background: Advances in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) have been driven by progress in supportive care, conditioning regimens, and graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) prophylaxis. Post-transplant morbidity and mortality are most pronounced in the first…
Impact of CD34+ Graft Cell Dose on Outcomes after Haploidentical Bone Marrow Transplantation with Post-Transplant Cyclophosphamide-Based GVHD Prophylaxis
Haploidentical bone marrow transplantation (haplo-BMT) with post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PT-Cy) has become an established alternative for patients lacking HLA-matched donors, with outcomes comparable to those of matched-sibling and unrelated-donor transplants [1]. While CD34…
Prognostic impact of ASXL1 mutations in acute myeloid leukemia treated with lower intensity therapy
Abstract Background ASXL1 mutations (ASXL1MUT) are common in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and have historically conferred an adverse prognosis with intensive chemotherapy. Given the increasing use of venetoclax (VEN)-based lower intensity therapy (LIT), the European LeukemiaNet…
