Introduction: Allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is a curative option for relapse/refractory (R/R) lymphomas that have failed autologous transplantation or for high-risk lymphomas in the upfront setting. We conducted a retrospective analysis on consecutive lymphoma patients who underwent allo-HSCT over a 20-year period (2003- 2022) at Singapore General Hospital and National University Hospital Singapore.
Method: A total of 121 patients were included in the study.
Introduction: Lymphoma is a common malignancy among adolescents and young adults (AYAs) which is generally defined as 15-39 years. Relative to other age groups, lymphoma in AYAs remains understudied with heterogeneous treatment options.
Methods: We performed a retrospective review of patients aged 18-60 years in the Australasian Lymphoma and Related Diseases Registry (LaRDR) with new diagnoses of the common subtypes of lymphoma in AYAs between January 2016 and April 2023.

Introduction: Burkitt lymphoma (BL) is a rare and aggressive subtype of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Several studies have identified prognostic factors (PFs) for disease progression and mortality among adults with BL. However, there is no consensus on risk stratification based on PFs.

Purpose: This study aims to identify and summarize evidence on the effectiveness of exercise-based interventions on muscle mass, muscle strength, functional performance, aerobic capacity, health-related quality of life (HRQoL), feasibility of the interventions, in patients with malignant lymphoma undergoing chemotherapy.
Methods: A systematic search was conducted in six electronic databases and trials registers on November 15, 2023. Peer-reviewed randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing exercise intervention with controls/usual care in adults (≥18 years) diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma undergoing chemotherapy were considered for inclusion.
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and a sizable fraction of the DLBCL patients presents with advanced, relapsed, and refractory disease, demonstrating poor response to standard chemotherapy regimens. Radioimmunotherapy (RIT) has shown to be clinically effective in refractory DLBCL. We present the case of a patient with DLBCL with [18F]FDG-avid widespread skeletal as well as splenic involvement as poor prognostic extranodal disease on FDG PET/CT.
