In the past few years, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the central nervous system has been the object of increasing attention because of the recent rise in its incidence. Part of this increase can clearly be attributed to the AIDS epidemic. This tumor responds unsatisfactorily to the traditional treatments. Various studies to determine the most effective treatment modality have yielded inconclusive results. A concise review of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the central nervous system is presented along with a case study of cerebellar non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Background: Recently, microRNAs (miRNAs) have been applied as biomarkers for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients. Early diagnosis and management of DLBCL can improve patient survival and prognosis.

Aims: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the diagnostic and prognostic accuracy of miRNA biomarkers in DLBCL patients.

Background: Research into the intratumoral microenvironment in lymphoma has been escalated along with improved survival and new targeted therapies with an intent to refine risk stratification and prognostication. Various studies have reported significance of quantitative DCE-MRI parameters for predicting biological behaviour of various tumors. This study is an endeavour to supplement the existing literature on quantitative DCE-MRI in nodal lymphoma.

B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL) is a highly heterogeneous group of lymphopoietic malignancies that account for 85% to 90% of all non-Hodgkin lymphomas. In recent years, CD19 Chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR T) cell immunotherapy has significantly improved the cure rate of B-NHL patients, but there are still some patients who cannot achieve remission after treatment, or relapse after remission. Therefore, it is of great importance to overcome the drug resistance of CD19 CAR T cells after B-NHL treatment and reduce the recurrence rate of CD19 CAR T cells after B-NHL treatment.

Nova Scotia (NS) began offering CAR T-cell therapy as a third-line standard of care for eligible patients with relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma (r/r LBCL) in 2022. Recipients of CAR T-cell therapy often experience acute toxicities, including cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS), which require close monitoring and prompt management. This retrospective review aimed to describe the characteristics of adult patients with r/r LBCL deemed eligible to receive CAR T-cell therapy with axicabtagene ciloleucel in NS between January 2022 and June 2024, the toxicities experienced and toxicity management, hospital visits and intensive care unit (ICU) admissions, the utilization of toxicity management guidelines, and general efficacy outcomes.

Methotrexate (MTX), an antimetabolite targeting certain autoimmune conditions and various hematologic malignancies, has been associated with iatrogenic lymphoproliferative disease (LPD) primarily of B-cell lineage. Less commonly are T-cell neoplasms where primary skin involvement is considered rare. Three cases were encountered in the medical practice of one of the authors.
