Blood is the American Society of Hematology's flagship journal, covering leukaemia, lymphoma, myeloma and transplant biology and trials, plus the ASH annual meeting abstracts.
Blood appears weekly and publishes the science and phase 2 trials of blood cancers (venetoclax, CAR-T, bispecifics, MRD methods), the ASH abstract supplement each November, and 'How I Treat' expert reviews that shape practice. Hybrid access; articles free after 12 months. Sister titles are Blood Advances (open access) and Blood Neoplasia.
One of the most cited trial reports Europe PMC returns for Epcoritamab in Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, so it is a natural first reading for anyone weighing the idea it is linked from. The record was linked automatically by title and abstract; read the abstract above and the paper itself before relying on any figure.
The risk category on an AML report, and therefore whether a patient is steered towards transplant in first remission, comes from these recommendations.
Trial eligibility and risk stratification in AML and MDS often refer to this classification alongside the WHO edition; the two overlap heavily but not completely.

This is the trial behind belumosudil's July 2021 US approval for chronic graft-versus-host disease after two or more lines. For patients it means a once-daily pill with a high response rate in a condition where earlier treatments had failed; the FDA's own analysis, counting responses only through cycle 7 day 1, gave 75 percent.

The treatment rows on the Rosai-Dorfman page, from watchful waiting to cobimetinib, follow these recommendations.

IDH2 mutations, present in about one in eight AML cases, became actionable. Enasidenib is an option at relapse; its role in newly diagnosed disease is less established than ivosidenib's.

This is the trial behind defibrotide's March 2016 US approval, the only approved treatment for hepatic veno-occlusive disease with organ failure after transplant. The historical-control design was accepted because a randomised trial in a condition this lethal and rare was judged unfeasible; the gain is meaningful but most patients still died.
The way OnCo groups the histiocytoses, and the recognition that LCH and ECD are cancers rather than inflammatory conditions, come from this classification.
Azacitidine became the standard low-intensity treatment for older or unfit patients with AML and the control arm for later trials; venetoclax plus azacitidine (VIALE-A) now supersedes azacitidine alone where available.

Children with multisystem LCH receive a year of vinblastine and prednisone, and those in whom the disease does not respond quickly are switched early to salvage therapy.

This is the trial behind the 2008 European authorisation of Ceplene, one of very few maintenance immunotherapies ever approved in acute myeloid leukaemia. The abstract reports no overall survival benefit and the drug is little used today, with oral azacitidine and targeted maintenance filling the space.
The practical form of cell-of-origin classification, used in pathology laboratories worldwide. When a report says germinal-centre or non-germinal-centre, this is almost always the algorithm behind it.
