DLBCL 1L-What to Expect beyond R-CHOP? - PubMed

DLBCL 1L-What to Expect beyond R-CHOP? - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35326604/

The R-CHOP immunochemotherapy protocol has been the first-line (1L) standard of care (SOC) for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients for decades and is curative in approximately two-thirds of patients....


Conclusion/Relevance: Novel agents and their mode of action will be discussed in light of the molecular landscape of DLBCL and personalized 1L perspectives for the challenging patient population not cured by the SOC.

B-cell receptor dependent phagocytosis and presentation of particulate antigen by chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells

B-cell receptor dependent phagocytosis and presentation of particulate antigen by chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells

Source : https://www.explorationpub.com/Journals/etat/Article/100270

Aim: T-helper cells could play an important role in the pathogenesis of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), a common B-cell neoplasm. Although CLL cells can present soluble antigens targeted from


Conclusions: CLL cells can internalize and present antigen from anti-IgM beads. This capacity of CLL cells may be particularly important for recruitment of T-cell help in vivo in response to particulate antigens.

Relapsed/Refractory Mantle Cell Lymphoma: Beyond BTK Inhibitors - PubMed

Relapsed/Refractory Mantle Cell Lymphoma: Beyond BTK Inhibitors - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35330376/

Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare mature B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL) with historically poor outcomes. Virtually all patients will eventually experience refractory or relapsed (R/R) disease, with a virulent...


Conclusion: Outcomes after progression on BTKi are extremely poor, with a median overall survival (OS) of 6 to 10 months. Certain therapies, such as chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells, have shown promising results after BTKi failure. The preferred combination and sequencing of therapies beyond BTKi remain unestablished and are currently...

Dual BTK/SYK inhibition with CG-806 (luxeptinib) disrupts B-cell receptor and Bcl-2 signaling networks in mantle cell lymphoma - PubMed

Dual BTK/SYK inhibition with CG-806 (luxeptinib) disrupts B-cell receptor and Bcl-2 signaling networks in mantle cell lymphoma - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35296646/

Aberrant B-cell receptor (BCR) signaling is a key driver in lymphoid malignancies. Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors that disrupt BCR signaling have received regulatory approvals in therapy of mantle cell...


Conclusion: In sum, dual BTK/SYK inhibitor CG-806 disrupts BCR signaling and induces metabolic reprogramming and apoptosis in MCL. The Bcl-2 network is a key mediator of sensitivity to CG-806 and combined targeting of Bcl-2 demonstrates synergy with CG-806 warranting continued exploration in lymphoid malignancies.

Critical Role of Flow Cytometric Immunophenotyping in the Diagnosis, Subtyping, and Staging of T-Cell/NK-Cell Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma in Real-World Practice: A Study of 232 Cases From a Tertiary Cancer Center in India

Critical Role of Flow Cytometric Immunophenotyping in the Diagnosis, Subtyping, and Staging of T-Cell/NK-Cell Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma in Real-World Practice: A Study of 232 Cases From a Tertiary Cancer Center in India

BackgroundT-cell/NK-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (T/NK-NHL) is an uncommon heterogeneous group of diseases. The current classification of T/NK-NHL is mainly based on histopathology and immunohistochemistry. In practice, however, the lack of unique...


Conclusion: AITL was the most frequently diagnosed T/NK-NHL in this study. FCI provided a distinct advantage in detecting BM involvement by T/NK-NHL, especially in patients with low-level involvement. Overall, our study concluded that FCI plays a critical role in the diagnosis, subtyping, and staging of T/NK-NHL in real-world practice.
