Abstract
Immunoglobulin light chain (AL) amyloidosis is an incurable disease caused by the accumulation and sedimentation of unstable free light chains produced by monoclonal plasma cells. The key to treatment is to achieve a deep hematologic remission in order to improve organ function or reverse organ dysfunction. Conventional treatment has not been able to fully meet the treatment needs of patients with AL, while therapies targeting malignant plasma cells or amyloid have potentially improved treatment outcomes. This study provides an overview of the latest reports on targeted therapies for AL amyloidosis from the 2024 ASH Annual Meeting.
免疫球蛋白轻链(AL)淀粉样变性是一种不治之症,由单克隆浆细胞产生的不稳定游离轻链堆积沉淀所致。治疗的关键是实现深度血液学缓解,以改善器官功能或逆转器官功能障碍。传统治疗无法完全满足 AL 患者的治疗需求,而针对恶性浆细胞或淀粉样蛋白的疗法则有可能改善治疗效果。本研究概述了2024年ASH年会上有关AL淀粉样变性靶向疗法的最新报道。
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Hematology & Oncology, an open-access journal, publishes high-quality research covering all aspects of hematology and oncology, including reviews and research highlights on "hot topics" by leading experts.
Given the close relationship and rapid evolution of hematology and oncology, the journal aims to meet the demand for a dedicated platform for publishing discoveries from both fields. It serves as an international platform for sharing laboratory and clinical findings among laboratory scientists, physician scientists, hematologists, and oncologists in an open-access format. With a rapid turnaround time from submission to publication, the journal facilitates real-time sharing of knowledge and new successes.
