Background: While R-CHOP has been one of the standard therapies for untreated high-tumor-burden (HTB) follicular lymphoma (FL) for over 2 decades, obinutuzumab plus bendamustine (OB) is also currently regarded as the standard of care since its approval in 2018 in Japan; however, the long-term efficacy and safety of OB in the daily clinical practice has not been thoroughly evaluated.
Methods: We conducted a multicenter retrospective study for the clinical outcome of 53 patients with HTB FL treated by OB as the frontline therapy between 2018 and 2021 in the Kyoto Hematology Clinical Study Group (KOTOSG). All patients had at least 2-year follow-up period.

Individuals with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) have a high risk of developing other malignancies (OMs). The development of OMs may be associated with the advanced age of CLL/SLL patients, presence of a tumor-promoting microenvironment, immune alterations inherent to CLL/SLL, or chemotherapy. Importantly, the occurrence of OMs following frontline fludarabine, cyclophosphamide and rituximab (FCR) treatment is associated with a reduction in the overall survival (OS).

Health-related quality of life measures are underemphasised in clinical trials and particularly valuable in follicular lymphoma as some interventions can result in substantial toxicity with uncertain impact on overall survival. The report by Marzolini and colleagues provides a nuanced discussion on the merits of rituximab monotherapy versus observation in asymptomatic follicular lymphoma patients. Commentary on: Hou et al.

Polatuzumab vedotin plus R-CHP (Pola-R-CHP) is approved as a new standard first-line therapy for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) based on the POLARIX trial. However, real-world data on its efficacy and safety in unselected patients is lacking. We conducted a retrospective cohort study to evaluate Pola-R-CHP versus R-CHOP outcomes in routine clinical practice in China.

Background: Recent breakthrough advances in the treatment of DLBCL, such as the antibody-drug conjugate polatuzumab vedotin, have yielded clinical survival benefit over rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine and prednisolone (R-CHOP) for the first time in 20 years since the advent of the rituximab era. We thus examine the outcomes of standard immunochemotherapy for DLBCL in our multi-ethnic Asian population, so as to determine the real-world clinical need to adopt new therapeutics in this disease entity.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective study involving patients (n = 1071) diagnosed with DLBCL at the National Cancer Centre Singapore from 2010 to 2022, and treated with first-line rituximab-based regimens.
