Similar Survival Between Non-Western Immigrant Patients and Danish-Born Patients with Lymphoma: A Danish Population-Based Study.

Purpose: This nationwide Danish cohort study compared overall survival (OS) between non-Western immigrant patients and Danish-born patients with lymphoma in Denmark. Furthermore, differences in clinical and socioeconomic variables were compared, and mediators of OS differences were explored to explain possible outcome differences.

Patients And Methods: The study included a total of 540 non-Western patients and 16,294 Danish-born patients diagnosed with lymphoma in the period 2000-2020.

Epcoritamab plus GemOx in transplant-ineligible relapsed/refractory DLBCL: results from the EPCORE NHL-2 trial.

Patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) have poor outcomes. Gemcitabine + oxaliplatin (GemOx) with rituximab, a standard salvage therapy, yields complete response (CR) rates of approximately 30% and median overall survival (OS) of 10-13 months. Patients with refractory disease fare worse, with a CR rate of 7% for subsequent therapies and median OS of 6 months.

Impact of Trial Eligibility Criteria on Outcomes of 1183 Patients With Follicular Lymphoma Treated in the Real-World Setting.

The development of new first-line treatments for patients with follicular lymphoma (FL) is becoming increasingly challenging due to already excellent survival outcomes. The present study investigated the outcomes of patients with FL who underwent contemporary first-line therapies but would not have been eligible for inclusion in recent trials and explored how commonly used in/exclusion criteria impacted their survival outcomes. This study included adult patients diagnosed with FL in the period 2000-2018 registered in the Danish Lymphoma Registry.

The Significance of Detecting an Unusual Myeloblast Immunophenotype in a Presumptive Clinical Diagnosis of Myelodysplastic Syndromes.

Context.—: Blasts in myelodysplastic syndromes (MDSs) typically have a primitive myeloid immunophenotype (CD34+CD117+CD13+CD33+HLA-DR+). On rare occasions, blasts were found to be CD34 negative or minimally expressed in a presumptive MDS.
