Interdisciplinary research and practical conference with international participation Vascular Tumors and Malformations in Children

Almazov Centre hosted the interdisciplinary research and practical conference with international participation Vascular Tumors and Malformations in Children. The conference was held in a hybrid mode.

Today, the personalized therapy for pediatric cancer patients is becoming increasingly relevant and requires the involvement of specialists from various fields in order to make a timely and accurate diagnosis and select the most effective treatment option with minimum toxic effects.

The invited speakers shared their experience in using various tactics and methods, including modern imaging, morphological and molecular genetic testing. They discussed in detail the issues of using targeted therapy in children with various forms of vascular tumors and malformations.

During the conference, the participants presented complex clinical cases that required great efforts both in the verification of the diagnosis and long periods of therapy with a combination of various methods. Vascular surgeons spoke about the possibilities of minimally invasive surgery for vascular tumors in children.

XIII annual international conference on Hybrid Technologies in the Treatment of Cardiovascular Diseases (MICHS-2022)

On March 27-29, the XIII annual international conference on Hybrid Technologies in the Treatment of Cardiovascular Diseases (MICHS-2022) took place in Moscow. The conference traditionally covered the most important issues and achievements of invasive cardiology and cardiovascular surgery: hybrid, minimally invasive and transcatheter procedures for the treatment of structural heart disease, new technologies and surgical methods for diseases of the aorta and its branches, main and peripheral vessels, new innovative imaging techniques for cardiovascular surgery.

Leading experts from more than ten countries spoke about the development of surgical methods in hybrid surgery of the heart, aorta and great vessels.

Presentations were devoted to the natural paradigm shift in the treatment of the aortic arch disease: from open surgery towards minimally invasive total replacement of the aortic arch and its branches, as well as the fast track trend in hybrid surgery for Leriche syndrome. Particular attention was placed on the need to build multidisciplinary teams.

18th Annual Symposium of the European LeukemiaNet

Researchers and hematologists-oncologists of the Almazov Centre continue to actively cooperate with the European Leukemia Network Foundation (ELN).

The specialists of the Research Institute for Immuno-Oncology of the WCRC for Personalized Medicine took part in the meetings of acute and chronic leukemia working parties at the 18th ELN Symposium. They joined the symposium online.

The presentation entitled “Blast crisis and transplantation: one center experience” presented data on the long-term results of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT) in chronic myeloid leukemia in blast crisis (CML‐BC). This retrospective study showed comparable efficacy of alloHSCT from haploidentical and compatible related donors in CML‐BC.

The results of modern treatment methods for CML‐BC, including alloHSCT, cannot be considered optimal and further research is needed to develop new modes of Bridge therapy, conditioning, and improve post-transplant management of patients with CML‐BC. Effective research can only be multicenter.
