The prognostic significance of genetic lesions in T-cell ALL still needs to be elucidated. Karyotyping and FISH were performed in samples from 120 patients with T-cell ALL registered in the trial Moscow-Berlin 2008. Most frequent rearrangements were TLX3 (N = 29; 24%) and TAL1 (N = 18; 15%), followed by KMT2A (N = 6; 5%), TLX1 (N = 5; 4.2%), and 11p13-15 (N = 5; 4.2%). In 16.7% of patients, the karyotype was normal, and in 30.8% 'other' aberrations were seen. Patients with a normal karyotype, TAL1, or KMT2A rearrangements had the most favorable outcome (probability of event free survival (pEFS): 82% ± 6%), while prognosis for patients with TLX3 and TLX1 rearrangements and 'other' aberrations was less favorable (pEFS: 62% ± 6%). Worst outcome was observed for five patients with 11p rearrangements (pEFS: 20% ± 18%). In summary, three subgroups of patients with T-cell ALL with significantly different outcomes could be defined by cytogenetic profiling.

Inhibitors of the PD-1/PD-L1 immune checkpoint have revolutionized cancer treatment. However, the clinical response remains limited, with only 20% of patients benefiting from treatment and approximately 60% of PD-L1-positive patients exhibiting resistance. One key factor contributing to resistance is the externalization of phosphatidylserine (PS) on the surface of cancer cells, which suppresses immune responses and promotes PD-L1 expression, further hindering the efficacy of PD-L1 blockade therapies.

: Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL), including Mycosis fungoides (MF) and Sézary syndrome (SS), is a challenging-to-diagnose lymphoproliferative malignancy characterized by T-cell dysfunction and progressive cutaneous and extra cutaneous involvement. Disease severity assessment in CTCL is crucial for guiding treatment. This study aims to evaluate the interrater agreement and interrater reliability of mSWAT among dermatology residents and identify lesion types most prone to scoring variability.

The treatment of Philadelphia chromosome-positive B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ B-cell ALL) has seen substantial progress over the past two decades. The introduction of tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKIs) has resulted in dramatic improvements in long-term survival. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT), with its curative potential, has always been an integral part of the treatment algorithm of Ph+ ALL.

Richter transformation (RT) is a rare albeit devastating complication of chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL). RT is defined as an aggressive lymphoma, typically diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, in the setting of CLL. A clonal relationship to the preceding CLL clone is detected in the majority of RT cases and confers more aggressive clinicopathologic kinetics, resistance to standard chemoimmunotherapy regimens, and inferior survival.
