I would like to learn your approach if you had a 78YM ECOG 1 with pT3N0M0 transverse colon adenocarcinoma s/p R hemicolectomy and not a CEA secretor and the only risk feature identified on path being moderately to poorly differentiated adeno. Would you offer adjuvant chemo? Would you obtain ctDNA?

Would you treat this case of PNH as PNH with hemolysis or PNH with bone marrow failure? I was thinking of giving a trial of Eculizumab/Ravulizumab in PNH with BMF while waiting for transplant, however, it is not expected to work.

My pt was diagnosed with intermediate risk AML (FLT3-ITD) she finished Induction with 7+3+Midaustaurin then 4 cycles HiDAC+Midaustaurin, pt won't get transplant (due to social situation). For maintenance should I do HMA (Po azacitidine)? Or quizartinib? Can I do quizartinib even if she didn't receive it during induction or maintenance (we used midaustaurin). NCCN specifically says quizartinib.
