STUDY MULTICENRIC OBSERVATIONAL, NO-PROFIT FOR THE INCIDENCE AND CHARACTERISTICS OF MALIGNANT NEOPLASIES IN PATIENTS WITH HEMOGLOBINOPATHY FOLLOWED IN ITALY
The Trial aims to increase the information available on the relevance of tumor pathology in hemoglobinopathies, updating the data relating to hepatocarcinoma and investigating which other tumors are more frequent in patients with hemoglobinopathies. Still, in relation to tumor pathology, the study will evaluate any differences between the different types of hemoglobinopathy and will investigate the association between the appearance of neoplasms and risk factors such as age, sex, iron accumulation markers, history of bone marrow transplant, and others.
• Transfusion-dependent or independent beta-thalassemia, hemoglobin H disease, sickle cell anemia and microdrepanocytosis
