Article Abstract
Background: Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) includes pathologies of different clinical courses, treatments, outcomes. Our study aims to investigate the late effects of NHL survivors (NHLS).
Materials And Methods: Among 59 NHL cases, 50 survivors completed their NHL treatment between 2003 and 2019. Out of 59 patients, the cumulative survival rates and event-free survival rates after 10 years since diagnosis were 82.9% ±5.2% and 84.1% ±5.2%, respectively. In addition, we compared the data related to chronic health and psychosocial conditions with their siblings (n = 61).
Results: The age and gender ratios were similar in the NHLS (n = 50) and the control group (n = 61). The rate of nephrotoxicity (P = 0.02) and the frequency of admission to the hospital (P < 0.01) were significantly higher in the survivors than in the control group. Cardiotoxicity is detected in 3 (6%) of NHLS with cumulative anthracycline dose <300 mg/m. The social status (being married [P < 0.01], having children [P = 0.003]) is impaired in NHLS. The alcohol and smoking habits, education status, and health conditions (endocrinologic, cardiac, neurological, and pulmonary) were similar in both groups. One patient had acute myeloid leukemia as a secondary malignancy. Twenty NHLS took rituximab, two of them took brentuximab vedotin plus chemotherapy. NHLS have impairment in health status, social life.
Conclusion: Nephrotoxicity is a statistically more common late effect than the others in the survivors. We observe cardiotoxicity in low cumulative doses of anthracycline. A more significant number of patients is required to reveal late side effects on novel drugs.

Beyond The Basics: Unveiling Superior Vena Cava Compression in Hodgkin's Lymphoma.

Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) is a malignancy of the lymphocytes in the lymph nodes and presents with non-specific systemic symptoms like fever, night sweats, and weight loss. While HL often involves the mediastinum, it rarely causes superior vena cava (SVC) syndrome, and eosinophilia is noted in approximately 15% of cases. Here, we report a unique presentation of HL in a 52-year-old male with a history of chronic pruritus, chronic kidney disease, and inactive hepatitis B.

Background: Relapsed/Refractory (R/R) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) represents a subgroup with a high incidence and dismal prognosis. Currently, there is a lack of robust models for predicting R/R DLBCL. Therefore, we conducted a retrospective study to identify key determinants to be incorporated into a novel nomogram to enhance the identification of DLBCL patients at elevated risk of refractoriness/recurrence.

Through catalyzing the transfer of methyl groups onto the guanidinium of arginine, protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) was essential to the cell growth of cancer cells. By utilizing a scaffold hopping strategy, a novel series of 3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-1()-one derivatives were designed and synthesized. Through a systematic SAR study, demonstrated excellent PRMT5 inhibitory activity, potent antiproliferative activity against Z-138, favorable pharmacokinetic profiles, and low hERG toxicity.

A poorer prognosis is thought to be associated with "double expressor lymphomas," which are a subtype of diffuse large B cell lymphomas (DLBCL) that co-express MYC and BCL2. While the role of ubiquitin-specific peptidase 37 (USP37) in lung cancer, where it mediates the deubiquitination and stabilization of c-myc, has been well-documented, its involvement in DLBCL remains unexplored. The use of RT-PCR, immunohistochemistry, or WB test allowed for the detection of elevated USP37 in DLBCL tissues and cells.

Background: Concurrent ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and acute ischemic stroke (AIS) are extremely rare, and their management remains perplexing due to the absence of high-quality evidence and limited resources. For the first time, we report a rare, preventable, and suboptimally managed case of concurrent AIS and STEMI in a patient with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) who received cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisolone (CHOP) chemotherapy.
Case Presentation: A 59-year-old postmenopausal woman of African origin with a background history of type 2 diabetes mellitus presented to the Jakaya Kikwete Cardiac Institute with sudden onset of left-sided weakness and typical ischemic chest pain for 3 days.
