First-in-class ultralong-target-residence-time p38α inhibitors as a mitosis-targeted therapy for colorectal cancer.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) constitutes the second leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide and advanced CRCs are resistant to targeted therapies, chemotherapies and immunotherapies. p38α (Mapk14) has been suggested as a therapeutic target in CRC; however, available p38α inhibitors only allow for insufficient target inhibition. Here we describe a unique class of p38α inhibitors with ultralong target residence times (designated ULTR-p38i) that robustly inhibit p38α downstream signaling and induce distinct biological phenotypes.

Refining Diagnostic Subtypes of Peripheral T-Cell Lymphoma Using a Multiparameter Approach.

Peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) is a heterogeneous group of neoplasms, with many cases remaining unclassifiable and categorized as PTCL-not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS). Gene expression profiling (GEP) has delineated 2 prognostic subtypes within PTCL-NOS, PTCL-TBX21 and PTCL-GATA3, characterized by distinctive transcriptomes and a different prognosis. To further evaluate the pathologic features of these subgroups, 101 PTCL cases that did not meet specific criteria for well-defined T-cell lymphoma entities underwent detailed pathologic, immunophenotypic (including T follicular helper [T] biomarkers), and GEP analyses, separating them into PTCL-NOS (n = 63) and PTCL-TFH (also known as nodal PTCL-TFH, NOS, and TFH lymphoma, NOS) (n = 38).

Histomorphologic spectrum of nodal marginal zone lymphoma as defined by its methylome.

Objectives: Primary nodal marginal B-cell lymphoma (NMZL) is rare and histologically very variable. Its large-cell presentation is difficult to distinguish from nodal diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (nDLBCL) due to the absence of specific markers for nodal marginal zone lymphomas in general.

Methods: Using a comprehensive cohort of NMZLs and a control cohort of nDLBCLs, we conducted a methylome analysis on subgroups of both.

Perioperative Predictive Factors for Tumor Regression and Survival in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Patients Undergoing Neoadjuvant Treatment and Lung Resection.

Our study aimed to identify predictors for the effectiveness of tumor regression in lung cancer patients undergoing neoadjuvant treatment and cancer resections. Patients admitted between 2016 and 2022 were included in the study. Based on the histology of the tumor, patients were categorized into a lung adenocarcinoma group (LUAD) and squamous cell carcinoma group (SQCA).

Identification, risk factors, and clinical course of CNS relapse in DLBCL patients across 19 prospective phase 2 and 3 trials-a LYSA and GLA/ DSHNHL collaboration.

Progression or relapse in the central nervous system (CNS) remains a rare but mostly fatal event for patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). In a retrospective analysis of 5189 patients treated within 19 prospective German and French phase 2/3 trials, we identified 159 patients experiencing a CNS event (relapse: 62%, progression: 38%). Intracerebral, meningeal, intraspinal, or combined involvement was reported in 44%, 31%, 3%, and 22% of patients, respectively.
