Treatment of newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma with rituximab and CHOP (R-CHOP) has been largely unchanged for the last two decades. The Guideline by Fox et al. provides new evidence-based therapeutic strategies informed by positive results of randomised clinical trials. Commentary on: Fox et al. The management of newly diagnosed large B-cell lymphoma: A British Society for Haematology Guideline. Br J Haematol 2024; 204:1178-1192.

Pediatric-type follicular lymphoma (PTFL) is an extremely rare B-cell lymphoma that primarily affects children and young adults, typically in individuals under 25 years old, with a median age of 15 years. Here, we report a rare case of PTFL in a 27-year-old adult male who presented with a slow-growing mass near his left ear. Initial CT scans of the neck revealed two oval-shaped, smooth, well-defined, homogeneously enhancing soft tissue density lesions in the superficial lobe of the left parotid gland.

Background: Primary cardiac lymphoma (PCL) is an exceedingly uncommon type of lymphoma that primarily affects the heart and/or pericardium, or manifests through cardiac symptoms due to myocardial infiltration. The infrequency of PCL, coupled with its non-specific clinical presentations, often complicates early diagnosis. This study aims to fill the existing gap in clinical knowledge regarding PCL by detailing a case of PCL and examining its clinical features, auxiliary examinations, treatment approaches, and prognostic outcomes, thereby facilitating early detection and enhancing patient care.

Background: HA14-1 is a small-molecule, stable B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) antagonist that promotes apoptosis in malignant cells through an incompletely-defined mechanism of action. Bcl-2 and related anti-apoptotic proteins, such as B-cell lymphoma-extra-large [Bcl-XL]), are predominantly localized to the outer mitochondrial membrane, where they regulate cell death pathways. However, the notably short half-life of HA14-1 limits its potential therapeutic application.

Background: Radiomics features extracted from baseline F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (F-FDG PET) scans have shown promising results in predicting the treatment response and outcome of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients. This study aimed to assess the influence of lesion selection approaches and segmentation methods on the radiomics of DLBCL in terms of treatment response and prognosis prediction.
Methods: A total of 522 and 382 patients pathologically diagnosed with DLBCL were enrolled for complete regression and 2-year event-free survival prediction, respectively.

Treatment strategies for early stage diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (ES-DLBCL) include R-CHOP, with a similar schedule to that used in advanced stage, or a reduced number of cycles followed by radiation therapy (RT). We retrospectively analyzed 179 ES-DLBCL patients, managed according to the clinical practice. Treatment regimens include chemoimmunotherapy 4-6 cycles +/- RT as consolidation.
