This Good Practice Paper podcast provides recommendations for the diagnosis, risk stratification and management of the monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS). It describes the recently recognised entity of the monoclonal gammopathy of clinical significance (MGCS), and recommends how it should be managed. The potential for targeted population screening for MGUS is also discussed.

Guideline session at EHA Conference 2022 on The Use of Next-generation Sequencing in the Diagnosis of Rare Inherited Anaemias: A Joint BSH/EHA Good Practice Paper

- Synchronous CNS and systemic lymphoma at initial presentation (treatment-naïve; TN-SCNSL),
- CNS relapse without recurrent systemic lymphoma (relapsed isolated CNS lymphoma; RI-SCNSL).
- Relapsed concomitant systemic and CNS disease following treatment for systemic lymphoma (RC-SCNSL).
CNS lymphoma (CNSL) is associated with inferior outcomes, which may be attributed to several factors: poor CNS penetrance of chemotherapeutics, including RCHOP (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisolone),1 impaired neurocognitive function and patient performance status (PS) contributing to increased treatment toxicity,2, 3 and recurrent genetic aberrations conferring treatment resistance.4-6 The rarity and heterogeneity of SCNSL also limits the evidence base for treatment recommendations, with poor outcomes potentially attributable at least in part to lack of optimised treatment protocols.
This good practice paper focuses on diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), the most common SCNSL subtype. It covers diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of care for the three SCNSL scenarios and multiply relapsed SCNSL. Treatment recommendations are framed by patient fitness and treatment intent.

Guidelines for thrombophilia testing
Monday Nov 28, 2022
Monday Nov 28, 2022
This guideline updates and widens the scope of the previous British Society for Haematology (BSH) Clinical guidelines for testing for heritable thrombophilia1 to include both heritable and acquired thrombophilia.
The term thrombophilia is generally used to describe hereditary and/or acquired conditions associated with an increased predisposition to thrombosis. Heritable thrombophilia refers to genetic disorders of specific haemostatic proteins. These guidelines focus only on the factors that are identified from laboratory testing and therefore exclude disorders such as cancer, inflammatory conditions and obesity that are associated with thrombosis through multiple mechanisms.
