Management of hematological malignancies is rapidly evolving from chemotherapy-based regimens toward targeted agents and immunotherapies, including bispecific antibodies (BsAbs). These novel and highly active treatments come with new side effect profiles. The hematological toxicities are common and potentially harmful, and the side effects have hitherto not been reviewed. With many BsAbs recently approved and entering routine clinical use, we have reviewed the rather limited published data and propose recommendations on the management of these toxicities. Our review of the available data confirms that hematological toxicities are among the most common toxicities, with potentially harmful consequences for the patients. Fortunately, hemophagocytic lymphohystiocytosis and disseminated intravascular coagulation are rare. Severe neutropenia and hypogammaglobulinemia are manageable, and their timely treatment and prevention may reduce morbidity and mortality.

ScRNA-seq unveils the functional characteristics of glioma-associated macrophages and the regulatory effects of chlorogenic acid on the immune microenvironment-a study based on mouse models and clinical practice.

Introduction: Glioma is the most common primary malignant brain tumor. Despite advances in surgical techniques and treatment regimens, the therapeutic effects of glioma remain unsatisfactory. Immunotherapy has brought new hope to glioma patients, but its therapeutic outcomes are limited by the immunosuppressive nature of the tumor microenvironment (TME).

Background: The management of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is hindered by treatment-related toxicities and complications, particularly cytopenia, which remains a leading cause of mortality. Given the pivotal role of the gut microbiota (GM) in hemopoiesis and immune regulation, we investigated its impact on hematologic recovery during AML induction therapy.
Methods: We profiled the GM of 27 newly diagnosed adult AML patients using 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing and correlated it with key clinical parameters before and after induction therapy.
Rescue RM/CS-AKI by blocking strategy with one-dose anti-myoglobin RabMAb.

Rhabdomyolysis or Crush syndrome-related AKI (RM/CS-AKI) has high mortality, and there is no effective early on-site treatment method. The critical pathogenic factor of RM/CS-AKI is the excessive free myoglobin (Mb) in blood circulation. Here, based on the concept of creating a "mobile barrier", we develop an anti-Mb rabbit monoclonal antibody (RabMAb) with high specificity, affinity, stability, and broad species reactivity.

Background: Although chemoimmunotherapy is recommended for advanced nonsquamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with low programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression, no head-to-head comparisons of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have been performed. Therefore, we compared the effect and safety of regimens in these patients to guide evidence-based treatment.
Methods: This retrospective study included patients with advanced nonsquamous NSCLC with a PD-L1 tumor proportion score of 1% to 49% administered ICI combination platinum-based chemotherapy between May 2018 and May 2023 at 19 institutions in Japan.
Radiotherapeutics, clonal hematopoiesis, and risk of hematologic malignancies: The good, the bad, the ugly.

While radiotherapeutics have demonstrated significant clinical benefit across multiple cancer types including thyroid cancer, neuroendocrine tumors, and prostate cancer, hematological toxicities can be frequent and challenging. It remains unknown to what extent the hematologic toxicity is driven by clonal processes that preexist and are selected for by treatment induced selection pressures. In this review, we discuss the background leading to the adoption of radiotherapeutics in the treatment of solid tumor malignancies, the risk of hematologic toxicities and myeloid neoplasms and the evidence pointing to potential precursor lesions that may predispose patients to hematologic toxicities.
