Primary cutaneous B-cell lymphomas (PCBCLs) are B-cell lymphomas that can occur in the skin without evidence of extracutaneous involvement. The 2005 WHO/EORTC classification of cutaneous lymphomas and its 2018 update have distinguished three main categories based on clinicopathological, immunohistochemical, and genetic characteristics: primary cutaneous marginal zone lymphoma (PCMZL), primary cutaneous follicle centre lymphoma (PCFCL), and primary cutaneous diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, leg type (PCDLBCL-LT). PCMZL and PCFCL are clinically indolent, while PCDLBCL-LT is an aggressive lymphoma.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, keeps spreading globally. Evidence suggests that a subgroup of patients with severe symptomatology might have cytokine storms, which increases mortality. The use of interleukin-6 (IL-6) inhibitors may help in controlling the pathological immune response to the virus.

Background: Relapsed or refractory (R/R) classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) after autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) remains a challenge. For these patients treatments with different mechanisms of action rather than classical chemotherapy are needed.

Patients And Methods: Patients with R/R cHL after ASCT were recruited in a phase II trial (EUDRA CT: 2009-016588-12).

Relapse is the main cause of therapeutic failure in follicular lymphoma (FL). We set out to evaluate the role of consolidation with Yttrium-90 ibritumomab tiuxetan in patients with intermediate- and high-risk FL after four cycles of CHOP-R (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisone, rituximab) and two cycles of CHOP. Thirty patients were included.

Introduction: Little data is available concerning variations in the clinical characteristics of lymphoid neoplasms at presentation. We decided to investigate whether any variations in these characteristics had occurred in Spain during the last few years.

Materials And Methods: The GOTEL group database is an archive of all new lymphoma cases, regardless of their histological subtype, diagnosed in the hospitals within the group.

Aim: To retrospectively assess the efficacy and safety of bevacizumab plus low-dose metronomic oral cyclophosphamide in heavily pretreated patients with recurrent ovarian cancer.

Patients And Methods: Patients with recurrent ovarian cancer and prior treatment with platinum- and taxane-based chemotherapy were included. Treatment consisted of bevacizumab 10 mg/kg intravenously every 2 weeks plus oral cyclophosphamide 50 mg daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
