Background: Adoptive therapy with umbilical cord blood (UCB) T-regulatory (Treg) cells can prevent graft vs. host disease (GVHD). We hypothesize that UCB Tregs can treat GVHD and synergize with ruxolitinib, Jak2 inhibitor, to improve outcomes.

- Progression of disease within 24 months of initial immunochemotherapy (POD24) in follicular lymphoma (FL) is linked to worse patient outcomes, and there is currently no standard treatment for these patients.
- A study of 256 FL patients with POD24 revealed diverse treatment approaches, with bendamustine-rituximab patients mostly receiving R-CHOP therapy and R-CHOP patients opting for aggressive salvage therapy.
- The overall response rate to treatments after POD24 was 66%, with a complete response rate of 40%, while factors like age over 70 and high-risk FLIPI scores worsened overall survival outcomes (73% at 5 years).

- * Between 2004 and 2022, MRI awarded scholarships to 405 individuals, and those who received funding had significantly lower dropout rates compared to national averages: 0% for graduate students and 2.2% for medical students.
- * The initiative also showed that awardees were more likely to stay in the hematology-oncology field than national minority averages, with 14.4% of medical students and 88.5% of early-career
Purpose: Extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTCL) is rare in the Western Hemisphere and is commonly treated with combined modality therapy (CMT).
Methods And Materials: We retrospectively reviewed 35 patients treated with Ann Arbor stage I/II ENKTCL between 1994 and 2015 at a large academic cancer center in the United States.
Results: With 11.
