As we bid farewell to the past year and step into a new chapter, the field of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) has seen remarkable progress. Targeted therapies, particularly Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors, have not only significantly improved patient survival outcomes but have also driven a paradigm shift away from traditional immunochemotherapy towards a "chemo-free" treatment model.

At the EHA (European Hematology Association) congress, I witnessed the intellectual collision in the field of hematology. Scholars shared their research findings from the podium, with each presentation being a…

At the European Hematology Association (EHA) congress , Professor Richard Van Wijk from the University Medical Center Utrecht delivered a captivating presentation titled "Activation of pyruvate kinase as a therapeutic option for rare hemolytic anemias." His insightful discussion on the potential of pyruvate kinase activation in treating these rare conditions has sparked significant interest among hematologists and researchers. The innovative approach presented by Professor Van Wijk could pave the way for new treatment strategies in the field of rare blood disorders.
