Context And Objective: It is currently asserted that, in industrialized countries, nodular sclerosis is the most frequent type of Hodgkin's lymphoma, in contrast to developing countries, where mixed cellularity and lymphocyte depletion are more frequently seen. The objective was to review histological data from cases of Hodgkin's lymphoma from São Paulo and Campinas cities.
Design And Setting: Cross-sectional histopathological analysis, in four university hospitals and one cancer care center.
Methods: 1,025 cases diagnosed as Hodgkin's lymphoma between 1990 and 2000 were collected from five institutions; 631 of them (61.5%) had been immunophenotyped using antibodies to CD20, CD3, CD15 and CD30. The relative frequencies of histological types (as informed by the contributing authors, who are hematopathologists in their institutions) were determined according to age and gender.
Results: The Hodgkin's lymphoma types were distributed as follows: lymphocyte predominance 4.8%, nodular sclerosis 69.2%, mixed cellularity 21.1% and lymphocyte depletion 4.6%.
Conclusions: The controversy regarding the frequencies of Hodgkin's lymphoma types within the Brazilian setting seems to be due to the small number of cases in previous studies. The present data show a picture close to the situation in the industrialized countries.

Simple Method to Predict Lymphocyte Collection for Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-Cell Engineering.
Transfus Clin Biol

Haematological Unit, Centre Hospitalier Lyon Sud, HCL, Pierre-Bénite, France.
Introduction: T lymphocyte collection is essential for CAR T-cell engineering in refractory hematologic malignancies but needs to be optimised. No guidelines have been established for predicting the amount of T lymphocytes to be collected. The quantity of lymphocytes and especially T cells collected depends on the pre-cytapheresis lymphocyte blood level (pcLBL) and the number of blood volumes (BVs) processed.

Background: HIV infection has been associated with an increased risk of cancer development and Kaposi's sarcoma, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and invasive cervical cancers have been a manifestation of AIDS. With the advent of antiretroviral therapy, a collateral appearance of non-AIDS defining cancers (NADC) has been observed in HIV positive patients.
Methods: From January 1997 to December 2022, we performed an observational cross-sectional study, involving HIV-infected outpatients with both AIDS-defining cancers (ADC) and NADC, followed up in a tertiary hospital in Italy.
Short-term outcome of hodgkin lymphoma patients and its prognostic factors in northeast peninsular Malaysia: A single centre experience.

Introduction: Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is a hematopoietic malignancy characterized by the presence of Reed Sternberg cells, with generally favourable outcomes compared to other hematological malignancies. This study aims to determine the socio-demographic, clinical and treatment characteristics, as well as the short-term overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) rates, of HL patients treated at Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM), a tertiary centre in northeast peninsular Malaysia.
Materials And Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of HL patients treated from January 1, 2006, to December 31, 2018, with follow-up until December 31, 2021.
A Mitochondria-Related Signature in Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma: Prognosis, Immune and Therapeutic Features.
Cancer Med
January 2025
Department of Pharmacology, College of Pharmacy, Jinan University, Guangzhou, China.
Background: Distinctive heterogeneity characterizes diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), one of the most frequent types of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Mitochondria have been demonstrated to be closely involved in tumorigenesis and progression, particularly in DLBCL.
Objective: The purposes of this study were to identify the prognostic mitochondria-related genes (MRGs) in DLBCL, and to develop a risk model based on MRGs and machine learning algorithms.
Isolated Third Cranial Nerve Palsy As the Initial Presentation of Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma: A Rare Case.
Cureus

Department of Ophthalmology, Hospital Sultanah Nur Zahirah, Kuala Terengganu, MYS.
This is an unusual case of primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) with isolated third cranial nerve palsy as the initial manifestation. Neurolymphomatosis (NL) is a rare manifestation of PCNSL. While NL is a rare manifestation of PCNSL, primary vitreoretinal lymphoma (PVRL) can be the presenting feature or a later-involved manifestation.
