Localized melanoma in older patients, the impact of increasing age and comorbid medical conditions.
Matthew J Rees,H. Liao,John Spillane,David Speakman,Christopher McCormack,Simon Donahoe,Miklos Pohl,Angela Webb,David E. Gyorki,Michael A. Henderson +9 more
TL;DR: In melanoma patients ≥65 years, the increasing number of medical comorbidities explains much of the age related variations in OS and DSS and should be considered when planning treatment.

Melanoma in the very elderly, management in patients 85 years of age and over
Matthew J Rees,Henry Liao,John Spillane,David Speakman,Christopher McCormack,Simon Donahoe,Miki Pohl,Angela Webb,David E. Gyorki,Michael A. Henderson +9 more
TL;DR: Older patients have thick, mitotically active and frequently ulcerated melanomas, and an excision margin≥10mm should be considered to reduce risk of local recurrence, with increasing age.

High-risk multiple myeloma: Redefining genetic, clinical, and functional high-risk disease in the era of molecular medicine and immunotherapy.
Matthew J Rees,Shaji K. Kumar +1 more
TL;DR: The risk-factors, definitions, and future directions for HRMM are reviewed and a succinct, specific, and clinically meaningful definition for HRMM remains elusive.

The impact of G-CSF alone vs G-CSF and cyclophosphamide mobilisation on autograft immune cell content in multiple myeloma
Matthew J Rees,A. K. Panigrahi,Simon J. Harrison,Andrew Spencer,Tiffany Khong,Simon Gibbs,Jay Hocking,Andrew Grigg,Daniela Zantomio +8 more
TL;DR: The fundamental role immune-cells delivered at the time of myeloablative transplant play in immune-recovery and the establishment of a new state of immune-equilibrium early post-ASCT are supported.

Non-viral pathogens of infectious diarrhoea post-allogeneic stem cell transplantation are associated with graft-versus-host disease.
Matthew J Rees,Alexandra Rivalland,Sarah Tan,Mingdi Xie,Michelle K Yong,David Ritchie +5 more
TL;DR: There was a significant association between infectious diarrhoea within 1 year post-transplant and the occurrence of severe acute lower gastrointestinal graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), and research to examine whether the prevention of infectious diarrhoea via infection control measures or modulation of the microbiome reduces the incidence of GVHD is needed.
