The role of CAR-T cell therapy as second line in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

For approximately three decades, autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (auto-HCT) has been the standard of care for patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) after frontline therapy. This approach is limited due to the intensity of chemotherapy and the proportion of patients who relapse after auto-HCT. Since the approval of anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy and novel agents, the treatment paradigm for DLBCL has changed remarkably. Anti-CD19 CAR-T therapy was first approved for relapsed DLBCL after two or more previous lines o

Sarcopenia does not predict outcome in patients with CNS lymphoma undergoing systemic therapy.

Low skeletal muscle mass as a proxy parameter for sarcopenia acts as a non-invasive imaging marker that is associated with poor prognosis in numerous types of cancer. The present study aimed to assess the influence of body composition parameters on overall survival (OS) and progression free survival (PFS) in patients diagnosed with primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL). A total of 98 patients with PCNSL treated at University Hospital Magdeburg (Magdeburg, Germany) from 2013-2019 were retrospectively studied. Patients with a pre-treatment staging computed tomography (CT) scan that inc

Amiloride ameliorates muscle wasting in cancer cachexia through inhibiting tumor-derived exosome release.

BACKGROUND: Cancer cachexia (CAC) reduces patient survival and quality of life. Developments of efficient therapeutic strategies are required for the CAC treatments. This long-term process could be shortened by the drug-repositioning approach which exploits old drugs approved for non-cachexia disease. Amiloride, a diuretic drug, is clinically used for treatments of hypertension and edema due to heart failure. Here, we explored the effects of the amiloride treatment for ameliorating muscle wasting in murine models of cancer cachexia. METHODS: The CT26 and LLC tumor cells were subcutaneously in

Targeting neuroinflammation: 3-monothiopomalidomide a new drug candidate to mitigate traumatic brain injury and neurodegeneration.

BACKGROUND: Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is a major risk factor for neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's disease (PD) and Alzheimer's disease (AD), with neuroinflammation playing a critical role in the secondary cell death that exacerbates the initial injury. While targeting neuroinflammation holds significant therapeutic promise, clinical trials of available anti-inflammatory agents have fallen short. 3-Mono-thiopomalidomide (3-MP), a novel immunomodulatory imide drug (IMiD), was designed to curb inflammation without the adverse effects of traditional IMiDs and was evaluated across

Characteristics and outcomes of patients with lymphoma who developed therapy-related acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome - a retrospective analysis of the Polish Adult Leukemia Group.

IntroductionEnhancing lymphoma outcomes increases the risk of therapy-related neoplasms such as acute myeloid leukemia (t-AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (t-MDS).Material and methodsOur study, conducted at seven Polish hematology centers between 2011 and 2018, explores clinical features, outcomes, and prognostic factors of t-AML and t-MDS arising after initial lymphoid neoplasms.ResultsThe analysis included 57 patients of median age 65 with t-MDS (n = 38) and t-AML (n = 19). The median time to the onset of t-MDS/AML was 58.7 months. The median overall survival (OS) was 16.1 months. The prese

Mutated IKZF1 is an independent marker of adverse risk in acute myeloid leukemia.

Genetic lesions of IKZF1 are frequent events and well-established markers of adverse risk in acute lymphoblastic leukemia. However, their function in the pathophysiology and impact on patient outcome in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) remains elusive. In a multicenter cohort of 1606 newly diagnosed and intensively treated adult AML patients, we found IKZF1 alterations in 45 cases with a mutational hotspot at N159S. AML with mutated IKZF1 was associated with alterations in RUNX1, GATA2, KRAS, KIT, SF3B1, and ETV6, while alterations of NPM1, TET2, FLT3-ITD, and normal karyotypes were less frequent.

This study aimed to determine the prevalence and relationship of geriatric syndromes according to the ECOG-PS in older cancer patients.ResultsThe mean age of 218 participants was 73.0 ± 5.6 yea

Sphingolipid metabolism and hematologic disorders: current understanding and future directions.

Sphingolipids are not only key structural components of cell membranes but also serve as important signaling molecules, and their metabolic homeostasis is essential for the maintenance of cellular functions. In recent years, with the advancement of technologies such as metabolomics, studies have revealed that sphingolipid metabolic abnormalities are extensively involved in the occurrence and development of various hematological disorders, including immune thrombocytopenia, myeloproliferative neoplasms, graft-versus-host disease, hereditary hematological diseases, and hematologic malignancies.

Exploring the Impact of the Obesity Paradox on Lung Cancer and Other Malignancies.

There is a paradoxical relationship between obesity, as measured by BMI, and many types of cancer, including non-small-cell lung cancer. Obese non-small-cell lung cancer patients have been shown to fare better than their non-obese counterparts. To analyze the multifaceted effects of obesity on oncologic outcomes, we reviewed the literature on the obesity paradox, methods to measure adiposity, the obesity-related derangements in immunology and metabolism, and the oncologic impact of confounding variables such as gender, smoking, and concomitant medications such as statins and metformin. We anal

Impact of epoetin beta on quality of life in patients with malignant disease.

This open-label, prospective study was conducted to compare the impact of epoetin beta vs standard care on quality of life (QoL) in anaemic patients with lymphoid or solid tumour malignancies. A total of 262 anaemic patients (haemoglobin [Hb]or=2 g dl(-1) increase in Hb level without need of transfusion after the initial 4 weeks of treatment.

Common drug review recommendations for orphan drugs in Canada: basis of recommendations and comparison with similar reviews in Quebec, Australia, Scotland and New Zealand.

BackgroundPublic payer reimbursement for non-oncology drugs in Canada, including orphan drugs, is based on recommendations by the Common Drug Review (CDR) (with the exception of Quebec). CDR has been criticized for negative recommendations for orphan drugs and contributing to delays in patient access to these drugs. However, it is unclear how CDR makes recommendations for orphan drugs and the role clinical and economic factors play in decision making. The objective of the present study was to analyze the basis for CDR orphan drug recommendations and to compare recommendations to those in other

Heterogeneity in precision oncology.

Precision oncology is a rapidly evolving concept that holds great promise in cancer treatment. However, a cancer complexity attributed to genomic and acquired tumour heterogeneity limits treatment effectiveness and increases toxicity. These limitations refer to both systemic therapies and radiotherapy, which are two mainstays of non-invasive cancer treatment. By understanding cancer heterogeneity and utilising advanced tools to personalise treatment strategies, precision oncology has the potential to revolutionise cancer care. In this article, we review the current status of precision oncology
