Published: December 2013

CNS involvement by systemic Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is quite rare, but the disease limited to the CNS is an exceptionally rare entity. The incidence of CNS-HL has been estimated at 0.2-0.5% of cases, but a more recent study has modified that figure to less than 0.02%. Like the conventional form, the diagnosis of primary CNS-HL rests upon distinct morphological and immunohistochemical characteristics, including diagnostic Reed-Sternberg cells, in addition to staging studies demonstrating a lack of disease elsewhere. The paucity of cases in the literature precludes reliable clinical and demographic data, as well as a consensus on treatment and prognosis. We present two cases of primary cerebellar HL, one with 10-year follow-up, and a relevant review of the literature.

Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, highly invasive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The main pathogenesis of MCL is associated with the formation of the IgH/CCND1 fusion gene and nuclear overexpression of cyclin D1, which accelerates the cell cycle, leading to tumorigenesis. The prognosis with current standard chemotherapy is still unsatisfactory.

Background: Fatty liver disease may be associated with increased risks of intrahepatic and extrahepatic cancers. Our objective was to investigate associations between new subcategories of steatotic liver disease (SLD) recently proposed by nomenclature consensus group and cancer risk.

Methods: A total of 283 238 participants from the UK Biobank were included.

Zandelisib, a selective, potent PI3Kδ inhibitor, demonstrated favourable outcomes in patients with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma in a global phase II study. This phase II study evaluated the efficacy and safety of zandelisib for relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma or marginal zone lymphoma. Sixty-one patients received zandelisib orally at 60 mg daily continuously in the first two 28-day cycles, followed by intermittent dosing on Days 1-7 following each cycle until progressive disease or unacceptable toxicity.

Reduced CAR T expansion post infusion is associated with poor survival in patients with large B cell lymphoma after two or more therapies.

Transplant Cell Ther

Institute of Haematology, Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, SLHD, Sydney, NSW, Australia; Faculty of Medicine and Health, The University of Sydney, NSW, Australia.

CD19 directed chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy is now standard of care for relapsed/refractory large B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Despite good overall response rates, many patients still experience disease progression and therefore it is important to predict those at risk of relapse following CAR T-cell therapy. We performed a prospective study using a flow cytometric assay at a single treatment centre to assess early CAR T-cell expansion in vivo 6 - 9 days after CAR-T cell infusion.

Purpose: Continuous advancements in cancer management have resulted in increased long-term survival rates amongst cancer survivors and in turn have exposed the full extent of radiotherapy-associated morbidities. Radiation-induced coronary heart disease (RICHD) is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in cancer survivors, particularly in those having undergone mediastinal radiation. While mediastinal radiation has been shown to substantially reduce both recurrence and mortality rates in multiple thoracic malignancies, the risk for the development of RICHD is of significant concern.
