Objective: To study the inhibitory effect of chlorophyllin (CHL) on trans-benzo(a)pyrene-trans-7,8-dihydrodiol-9,10-epoxide (BPDE) induced malignant transformation in human bronchial epithelial cell line (16HBE).

Methods: 10, 50 or 100 micro mol/L CHL were added into the media during the cells transformation induced by BPDE, and the malignant degree of transformed cells were identified by the ConA agglutination test and the assay for anchorage-independent growth and tumorigenicity.

Results: After the cells were cultured for 25 times, the time of cells agglutination in groups treated with both CHL and BPDE was increased significantly; the colony formation efficiency in soft agar in groups treated with both CHL and BPDE (7.4 per thousand, 11.4 per thousand and 14.4 per thousand ) showed significant decrease (P < 0.05) in dose-dependent manner, as compared with that in group treated with BPDE alone (19.6 per thousand ). Cells treated with both CHL and BPDE or BPDE alone developed tumor in nude mice, a squamous carcinoma confirmed by histopathological examination. The volume of tumor in groups treated with both CHL and BPDE (0.43 +/- 0.13) cm(2), (0.22 +/- 0.04) cm(2) and (0.10 +/- 0.06) cm(3) was significantly smaller (P < 0.05) and dose-dependent, as compared with that in the group treated with BPDE alone (1.71 +/- 0.37) cm(3).

Conclusion: CHL showed significant antitransforming ability in human bronchial epithelial cell line induced by BPDE.

Aims: The prognostic impact of B lymphocytes surrounding Hodgkin and Reed Sternberg (HRS) cells in classic Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) and pathogenic variants in genes associated with apoptosis regulation remains undefined.

Methods: We have quantified the proportion of B lymphocytes in tumour microenvironment (TME) in 220 diagnostic slides from 110 cHL patients applying computational pathology (CP) and sequenced cases using a targeted panel including 47 genes recurrently mutated in mature B-cell neoplasms. Kaplan-Meier estimators and multivariate Cox regression on overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were assessed following the Transparent Reporting of a multivariable prediction model for Individual Prognosis Or Diagnosis guidelines.

Childhood and adolescent classic Hodgkin Lymphoma (cHL) has long been a model for how we balance improved outcomes with increased toxicities in pediatric cancer. The recognition that unacceptable short- and long-term toxicities come with increasing intensity of treatment has led to a decades-long attempt to better understand the patient-specific factors that dictate responses and outcomes. Targeted immunotherapy has emerged as a promising adjunct to cancer treatment; it has been shown to improve outcomes for poorly responding patients, to salvage relapsed disease, and more recently, to replace more toxic therapy modalities such as chemotherapy and radiation while maintaining excellent outcomes.

Background: Classic Hodgkin lymphoma (CHL) is an extremely common non-acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) defining malignancy and its incidence is rising. CHL is usually present in the lymph node and extranodal involvement is rare. Primary CHL of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is exceedingly rare.

Background: Relapsed/refractory classic Hodgkin lymphoma (R/R cHL) remains challenging to treat, and anti-CD30 chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapy may be effective. This meta-analysis investigates the efficacy and safety of anti-CD30 CAR-T cell therapy for treating R/R cHL.

Methods: A systematic literature search of PubMed, Cochrane, Embase, ClinicalTrials.
