Introduction: Succinate dehydrogenase subunit B (SDHB)-mutated paragangliomas (PGLs) are rare neuroendocrine tumors characterized by increased malignancy, readily metastasizing, and poorer prognosis. Here we report a case of SDHB-mutated metastatic PGL, wherein the patient showed significant tumor shrinkage and complete symptom remission following chemotherapy. We aim to contribute additional evidence to the existing knowledge associated with SDHB-mutated PGLs.

Importance: Serial circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) has emerged as a routine surveillance strategy for patients with resected colorectal cancer, but how serial ctDNA monitoring is associated with potential curative outcomes has not been formally assessed.
Objective: To examine whether there is a benefit of adding serial ctDNA assays to standard-of-care imaging surveillance for potential curative outcomes in patients with resected colorectal cancer.
Design, Setting, And Participants: In this single-center (City of Hope Comprehensive Cancer Center, Duarte, California), retrospective, case cohort study, patients with stage II to IV colorectal cancer underwent curative resection and were monitored with serial ctDNA assay and National Cancer Center Network (NCCN)-guided imaging surveillance from September 20, 2019, to April 3, 2024.

Richter syndrome (RS) represents a major unmet need in the lymphoma field, being refractory to chemoimmunotherapy and targeted agents. The BCL-2 inhibitor venetoclax in combination with dose-adjusted EPOCH-R chemoimmunotherapy showed promising efficacy in patients affected by RS. However, responses were not durable, suggesting the need for further treatment optimization.

Background: Relapsed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (HR-MDS) are associated with a poor prognosis. It is unknown which re-induction therapy provides the highest chance of durable remission. Commonly used therapies are high dose cytarabine (HiDAC) and triple therapy consisting of fludarabine, cytarabine, and idarubicin combined with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (FLAG-IDA).

Introduction: Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) and combination chemotherapy are independently used to treat relapsed/refractory (R/R) lymphoma. In vitro studies suggest that the addition of HDACi to platinum-based chemotherapy is synergistic.
Patients And Methods: We conducted a phase I study of romidepsin, gemcitabine, oxaliplatin and dexamethasone (Romi-GemOxD) in R/R aggressive lymphomas with an expansion cohort in T-cell lymphomas.
