    In recent years, new progress
    has been made in the research of leukemia.
    As one of the chairs of the leukemia thematic forum of the 3rd China Conference on the Development of Hematology, could you please talk about the current status of leukemia treatment in China and the future development direction?


    Prof.
    Liu Qiqi



    In the past decade, leukemia treatment can be expressed in two words: "precise"
    .
    "Precision" includes precision diagnosis and precision treatment, and China has made more progress
    in these two aspects.
    The first major progress is reflected in the application of imaging, immunology and molecular biology in the diagnosis of leukemia, which has brought the diagnosis of leukemia in China into the era
    of individualized diagnosis.
    For different types of leukemia, different individuals, due to their different genetic backgrounds, we can give different diagnoses
    .


    The second major progress is reflected in precision treatment, which has entered the era
    of precision treatment.
    In the past, chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) required hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) to be cured, but with the deepening of the understanding of CML and the emergence of specific targeted drugs, especially TKI targeted drugs, CML has gradually transformed into controllable chronic medical diseases
    such as hypertension and diabetes.


    In recent years, targeted drugs related to acute leukemia, especially acute myeloid leukemia (AML), have emerged in an endless stream, and the 5-year overall survival rate of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) or acute non-lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) or acute non-lymphoblastic leukemia can reach more than 60% through targeted therapy combined with traditional chemotherapy and precision treatment strategies such as HSCT1,2
    .
    At present, the treatment level of leukemia in China has been in line with international standards, and even related treatment strategies and measures in some aspects are ahead of the international level
    .




    Yimaitong: Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is an important treatment for leukemia, can you please talk about the application status of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in the treatment of leukemia in the era of new drugs based on clinical experience?


    Prof.
    Liu Qiqi



    HSCT is an important means of curing certain blood disorders, including leukemia, or even the only way
    to bring cure to patients.
    Although the era of new drugs has arrived, whether it is HSCT or targeted drugs, it is a part
    of the treatment of leukemia.
    The combined application of HSCT and targeted drugs can significantly improve the cure rate of leukemia, which is the current international and Chinese application status
    of HSCT.




    Yimaitong: Patients who receive hematopoietic stem cell transplantation are prone to co-infection, and need to pay great attention to it, in the high incidence period of new coronavirus infection, how do you think transplant patients should be managed to better prevent and treat infection?


    Prof.
    Liu Qiqi



    During the period of high incidence of new coronavirus infection, how should we manage transplant patients and better prevent and treat infection? This is an important issue
    facing both patients and doctors right now.
    Because the epidemic control and opening up of other countries in the world is earlier than China, providing us with control experience, based on these international experiences and our understanding of the new coronavirus, the prevention and treatment of hematological cancer patients, especially HSCT patients, includes the following aspects: First, regarding the choice of transplantation timing, whether HSCT recipients or donors, strict new crown screening is required, and HSCT or donor stem cell donation
    is usually not recommended during the infection period.
    1-2 weeks after the virus turns negative, it should be safer
    to transplant or donate in the current environment.
    Second, regarding the management and control of HSCT patients, it is necessary to pay regular attention to the new coronavirus infection of patients, that is, regularly check nucleic acid or antigen
    .
    For patients infected with the new crown after HSCT, the treatment for the new crown infection is not significantly different from the general population, and some of the possible differences are that the transplanted patients involve more
    organs than the immunocompetent people.
    Recently, we conducted a statistic that about 60% of patients infected with the new crown after HSCT, the new coronavirus affected the lungs and related lesions, but their lesions tend to be mild and medium-sized, and the proportion of severe disease is low
    .
    It can be seen that patients who have undergone HSCT are not terrified of infection with the new crown, regular monitoring of nucleic acid, once the nucleic acid is found positive and some corresponding lung changes, timely give the patient the corresponding treatment, and there are fewer
    patients who are transformed into severe disease.




    Yimaitong: As a promising innovative therapy for hematological tumors, how is the progress of chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cells in the treatment of leukemia? In what ways can it continue to promote its application in the field of leukemia in the future?


    Prof.
    Liu Qiqi



    Regarding the application of CAR-T in the treatment of hematological tumors, China is at the forefront
    of the world.
    The use of CAR-T, like chemotherapy and HSCT, is a means
    of leukemia treatment.
    At present, CAR-T is mainly used in patients with relapse, and it has not been concluded
    that it can be used as a cure for leukemia.
    How CAR-T can be effectively combined with traditional therapies, including targeted therapy, HSCT, and conventional chemotherapy, in the future to improve the long-term survival and cure rate of patients is an important direction
    for future development.




    Yimaitong: The 3rd China Hematology Development Conference ended successfully, its grand convening has effectively promoted academic exchanges in the field of hematology, and further promoted the construction and development of hematology in China.


    Prof.
    Liu Qiqi



    The China Hematology Development Conference has been held for the third time this year, and I have participated in this conference from the first to the third session, and devoted myself to the construction of the
    blood field.
    The Chinese Conference on the Development of Hematology not only conducts academic exchanges in the field of hematology, but more importantly, the cross-integration of the field of hematology and other disciplines, which has played a great role in promoting the construction and development of hematology in China, and will provide great help for the diagnosis and treatment of hematological tumors in the future, and also plays a good role
    in promoting the transformation of basic medicine to clinical medicine.
