Mantle cell lymphoma in 2022 - A comprehensive update on molecular pathogenesis, risk stratification, clinical approach, and current and novel treatments - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35266562/

The field of mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) has witnessed remarkable progress due to relentless advances in molecular pathogenesis, prognostication, and newer treatments. MCL consists of a spectrum of clinical subtypes....


Conclusion/Relevance: Complex pathogenesis and the management of patients with progression after treatment with BTK/Bcl2 inhibitors and CAR-T (triple-resistant MCL) remains a challenge. Next-generation clinical trials incorporating newer agents and concurrent translational and molecular investigations are ongoing. This article provides a...

Cystoid macular edema secondary to ibrutinib

Cystoid macular edema secondary to ibrutinib

Source : https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2451993622001827?via=ihub

To describe a unique case of cystoid macular edema associated with Ibrutinib treatment for Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL). A 73-year-old male patient presented to the ophthalmology clinic complaining of decreased...


Conclusions and Importance: Several novel oncologic therapies have been associated with CME in recent years. This case demonstrates an association between Ibrutinib an oral, irreversible inhibitor of Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase (BTK), and the development of CME. CME was resistant to topical treatment but resolved after treatment cessation. Along...

Do reduced numbers of plasmacytoid dendritic cells contribute to the aggressive clinical course of COVID-19 in chronic lymphocytic leukemia? - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35244285/

Infections with SARS-CoV-2 have been unduly severe in patients with hematological malignancies, in particular in those with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Based on a series of observations, we propose that...


Conclusion/Relevance: Treatment of CLL with Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors increased the number of pDCs, likely secondarily to the reduction of the tumor burden.
