A robust prognostic and biological classification for newly diagnosed follicular lymphoma (FL) using molecular profiling remains challenging. FL tumors from patients treated in the RELEVANCE trial with rituximab-chemotherapy (R-chemo) or rituximab-lenalidomide (R2) were analyzed using RNA sequencing, DNA sequencing, immunohistochemistry (IHC), and/or fluorescence in situ hybridization. Unsupervised gene clustering identified 2 gene expression signatures (GSs) enriched in normal memory (MEM) B cells and germinal center (GC) B-cell signals, respectively.

Objective: Improving care transitions for older adults can reduce emergency department (ED) revisits, and the strain placed upon caregivers. We analyzed whether caregivers felt a change in burden following a care transition, and what may be improved to reduce it.

Methods: This mixed-methods observational study nested within LEARNING WISDOM included caregivers of older patients who experienced an ED care transition.

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.

Introduction: Patient-centred care is more than just an aspiration, it represents a fundamental shift in the way healthcare must be delivered. Patient-centred emergency care is important for improving the patient and clinician experience and is essential for optimizing health outcomes. Creating a patient-centred emergency department emphasizes the importance of the patient's experience, preferences, and values.
