Peripheral T-cell lymphoma is a heterogenous non-Hodgkin Lymphoma with historically poor outcomes. Currently, response rates remain poor with traditional chemotherapy and many of those responding to initial therapy will relapse. Belinostat (Beleodaq, Spectrum Pharmaceuticals) is a histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACi) approved for use in relapsed or refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL). Belinostat is metabolized hepatically through cytochrome P-450 enzymes 3A4, 2C9, and 2A6; however, no empiric dosage adjustments of belinostat are recommended during concurrent use of inhibitors or inducers of these enzymes. Belinostat's efficacy has been evaluated in a clinical trial showing an overall response rate (ORR) of 25.8% and a median duration of response of 8.4 months. Belinostat is generally well tolerated, with the most common adverse reactions (>25%) being nausea, vomiting, fatigue, pyrexia, and anemia in patients with relapsed or refractory PTCL. Belinostat is a safe and effective treatment option for relapsed and refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma, with many future applications currently being investigated.

Abdominal multiple extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP) is a rare disease. CD38-negative relapsed/refractory EMP after treatment with daratumumab has never been reported. In 2020, a patient with jaundice was diagnosed with plasmacytoma in another hospital, which progressed one year after receiving multiline therapy.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is widely recognized as the third most prevalent malignancy globally and the second leading cause of cancer-related mortality. Traditional treatment modalities for CRC, including surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, can be utilized either individually or in combination. However, these treatments frequently result in significant side effects due to their non-specificity and cytotoxicity affecting all cells.

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) poses a significant challenge due to its high relapse rate despite initial chemotherapy. Cell therapy plays an important and promising role in refractory ALL cases. The aim is to present a complex case of a 20-year-old male patient with relapsed ALL and to explore the different therapeutic options of cellular therapy - allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, donor lymphocyte infusion, and chimeric antigen receptor T - detailing the collection, processing, and infusion, as well as the associated complications and management strategies.

Purpose: Childhood cancer survivors (CCS) are at risk for therapy-related late effects. Physical activity (PA) can minimize some late effects risk, but rates of PA are low in CCS. We aimed to determine how perception of survivor health status and presence of chronic conditions are associated with patient- or proxy-reported PA.
