The banked sperm of 5 of 13 Hodgkin patients was thawed for assisted reproduction. The post-thaw sperm characteristics were extremely impaired. Nevertheless, in 80% of all trials fertilization in vitro was obtained and conceptus could be transferred. All spouses became pregnant and seven healthy infants were born. One could recommend every Hodgkin patient to bank his sperm before chemotherapy. In vitro fertilization techniques with this frozen-thawed sperm reveal promising results in comparison with artificial insemination to maintain the reproductive capacity of male Hodgkin patients.

Body Composition at Diagnosis and Early Response in Pediatric Hodgkin Lymphoma.
Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev
January 2025
University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, AL, United States.
Background: The association between skeletal muscle and adipose tissue (body composition) and early response using positron emission tomography (PET) in pediatric Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) remains unstudied.
Methods: Patients enrolled on Children's Oncology Group studies AHOD0031 (intermediate-risk HL) and AHOD0831 (high-risk HL) with digital abdominal computed tomography (CT) scans at diagnosis and PET scans after 2 cycles (PET2) were included. Two consecutive slices at the third lumbar vertebra were identified and skeletal muscle index (SMI, in cm2/m2) and total adipose tissue index (TATI, in cm2/m2) were calculated using sliceOmatic (Magog, Canada) and height at diagnosis.

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.

Introduction: Data on the optimal management of patients with hematologic malignancies and chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) are lacking, particularly for multiday chemotherapy regimens. We report our institutional experience in patients with B-cell lymphoma receiving multiday dose-adjusted R-EPOCH chemotherapy utilizing two CINV prophylaxis strategies.
Methods: We performed a retrospective, single-center, cohort study evaluating hospitalized patients with aggressive non-Hodgkin B-cell lymphoma receiving DA-R-EPOCH (April 2016 to October 2022).
Simple Method to Predict Lymphocyte Collection for Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-Cell Engineering.
Transfus Clin Biol
January 2025
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.
