The prognosis is dismal (2-year overall survival less than 25%) for childhood, adolescent, and young adult (CAYA) with relapsed and/or refractory (R/R) non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Novel targeted therapies are desperately needed for this poor-risk population. CD19, CD20, CD22, CD79a, CD38, CD30, LMP1 and LMP2 are attractive targets for immunotherapy in CAYA patients with R/R NHL. Novel anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies, anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody, antibody drug conjugates and T and natural killer (NK)-cell bispecific and trispecific engagers are being investigated in the R/R setting and are changing the landscape of NHL therapy. A variety of cellular immunotherapies such as viral activated cytotoxic T-lymphocyte, chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cells, NK and CAR NK-cells have been investigated and provide alternative options for CAYA patients with R/R NHL. Here, we provide an update and clinical practice guidance of utilizing these cellular and humoral immunotherapies in CAYA patients with R/R NHL.

Background: Physical function assessment is key for the management of knee musculoskeletal conditions. There are a wide variety of self-reported outcome measures (SROMs) and performance-based outcome measures (PBOMs) to assess physical function of individuals with knee conditions. However, the content of these measures has not been explored.

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells are a major new treatment option for children, adolescents, and young adults (CAYA) patients with relapsed and refractory (R/R) B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). Therefore, accumulating evidence from real-world experiences of CAR-T outcomes in various regions worldwide is important, particularly when comparing outcomes of patients with differing medical and ethnic backgrounds. More than 5 years have passed since tisagenlecleucel was approved in Japan.

Article Synopsis
  • Carriers of BRCA1/2 pathogenic variants were studied to determine their risk of developing cancers during childhood, adolescence, and young adulthood (CAYA).
  • Analysis of data from over 47,000 individuals revealed that while young women with BRCA1/2 mutations had a significantly increased risk of breast cancer in their 20s, no increased risk was found for other types of CAYA cancers.
  • The study concluded that there's little evidence to support routine genetic testing for children of BRCA1/2 carriers or for young cancer patients, as the overall cancer risk appears low aside from breast cancer in young women.

Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) represents the fourth most common malignant disease among children and adolescents. Current disease classifications, including the most recent World Health Organization (WHO) classification and the International Consensus Classification (ICC), rely on a combination of clinical, epidemiological, histologic, immunophenotypic, and molecular data to define discrete clinicopathologic entities. There is growing evidence that children, adolescents, and young adults (CAYA) with B-cell NHL display unique clinical and epidemiologic characteristics.

Objective: Anthracycline chemotherapy agents have significant dose-dependent cardiotoxic effects. -Carnitine, a non-essential amino acid, is involved in long chain fatty acid oxidation, and carnitine deficiency can result in cardiomyopathy and cardiac arrhythmias. If administered concurrently with chemotherapy, carnitine supplementation could be a potential strategy to prevent cardiotoxicity.
