Ibrutinib and acalabrutinib are both associated with an increased risk of atrial fibrillation (AF); however, the comparative risk of AF between these 2 BTK inhibitors remains largely unknown. Our primary aim was to evaluate the risk of incident AF in patients exposed to ibrutinib compared to those exposed to acalabrutinib. Using the TriNetX research network database, we established a retrospective cohort of adult patients (≥ 18 years) previously diagnosed with a B-cell malignancy (using ICD-10-CM codes) in whom a first BTKi introduction occurred between January 1st, 2013 (first patient exposed to ibrutinib in TriNetX) and July 1st, 2024.

This post-hoc analysis aimed to detail the outcomes of primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma (PMBL) patients, verified through expert pathological review and the use of gene-expression profiling (GEP) and Next-Generation sequencing. Of the centrally reviewed 620 patients, 138 (22.

We conducted a national retrospective study of MH diagnosed in France between 2000 and 2023. All cases underwent centralized histological review, and several malignant tumors with a stroma highly enriched in histiocytes were excluded.

With the improvement of therapeutics, the issue of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is becoming increasingly crucial for these patients. The aim was to compare HRQoL of NHL survivors with that of the general French population and to identify factors associated with HRQoL in NHL survivors.

This strategy brings many advantages but also entails major risks in securing the care pathway for patients undergoing oral chemotherapy in order to secure medication car, the pharmaceutical team, in collaboration with the medical team, has set up pharmaceutical consultations in the healthcare service. This work presents the process of setting up these consultations and produces a two years review.

Here we show that NK-cell-specific Trp53 disruption in mice leads to the development of NK-cell lymphomas after long latency, which involve not only the hematopoietic system but also the salivary glands. Before tumor onset, Trp53 knockout causes extensive gene expression changes, resulting in immature NK-cell expansion, exclusively in the salivary glands.

Seven-year EFS of patients randomly assigned to alloSCT was 38% (95% CI, 25 to 52) compared with 34% (95% CI, 22 to 47) for patients randomly assigned to autologous transplantation of hematopoietic stem cells (autoSCT); OS was 55% (95% CI, 41 to 69) and 61% (95% CI, 47 to 74). Among patients undergoing alloSCT (n = 26) or autoSCT (n = 41) on study, the cumulative progression/relapse rate was 8% (95% CI, 0 to 19) and 55% (95% CI, 35 to 74).

Bone marrow (BM) eosinophilia, and to a lesser extent blood eosinophilia, is common in systemic mastocytosis (SM), but its significance remains unknown.
Objective: We described blood and BM eosinophil characteristics in SM.
Extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTCL) is an Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-related neoplasm with male dominance and a poor prognosis. A better understanding of the genetic alterations and their functional roles in ENKTCL could help improve patient stratification and treatments. In this study, we performed a comprehensive genetic analysis of 178 ENKTCL cases to delineate the landscape of mutations, copy number alterations (CNA), and structural variations, identifying 34 driver genes including six previously unappreciated ones, namely, HLA-B, HLA-C, ROBO1, CD58, POT1, and MAP2K1.

Despite a usually indolent evolution, most patients will require a treatment over the course of the disease because of cytopenia or symptomatic associated autoimmune disorders. First-line treatment is based on immunosuppressive agents, namely cyclophosphamide, methotrexate and ciclosporin.

Advanced mastocytosis (Adv-SM) is associated with poor survival; in contrast, patients with non-advanced SM (non-Adv-SM) usually have a normal life expectancy but may experience poor quality of life. Despite recent therapeutic progress including tyrosine kinase inhibitors, new treatment options are needed for refractory and/or intolerant patients with both severely symptomatic and Adv-SM.

Advanced SM (AdvSM) comprises three entities: aggressive SM (ASM), mast cell leukaemia (MCL) and SM with an associated hematologic neoplasm (SM-AHN), the latter accounting for 60-70% of all AdvSM cases. Detection of a disease-triggering mutation in the KIT gene (esp.

Six CAR-T cells products are currently available for adult patients with refractory or relapsed high-grade B cell malignancies, but they are associated with severe life-threatening toxicities and side effects that may require admission to ICU.
Objective: The aim of this short pragmatic review is to synthesize for intensivists the knowledge on CAR-T cell therapy with emphasis on CAR-T cell-induced toxicities and ICU management of complications according to international recommendations, outcomes and future issues.

JCO The primary analysis of the Ro-CHOP phase III randomized controlled trial (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT01796002) established that romidepsin (Ro) plus cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisone (CHOP) did not yield an increased efficacy compared with CHOP alone as first-line treatment of peripheral T-cell lymphoma. We report the planned final analysis 5 years after the last patient enrolled.
