Lymphoma non hodgkin

Chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapy (CAR-T) has revolutionized treatment for relapsed/refractory (r/r) B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). Robust biomarkers and a complete understanding of CAR-T cell function in the post-infusion phase remain limited. Here we used a 37-color spectral flow cytometry panel to perform high dimensional single cell analysis of post-infusion samples in 26 patients treated with CD28 co-stimulatory domain containing commercial CAR-T (CD28-CAR-T) for NHL and focused on computationally gated CD8+ CAR-T cells...

BACKGROUND: Asparagine is an amino acid that can be converted into aspartic acid and ammonia by the enzyme L-asparaginase. Some forms of cancer, such Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia (ALL) and Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL), respond well to this enzyme when employed as a chemotherapeutic drug. The purpose of this research was to find bacteria that can manufacture the enzymes L-asparaginasein marine slattern sediment which can be employed in commercial and industrial scale production. METHODS: All of the strains were identified as Bacillus niacini spp ...

Chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapy, as an adoptive immunotherapy, is playing an increasingly important role in the treatment of malignant tumors. CAR-T cells are referred to as "living drugs" as they not only target tumor cells directly, but also induce long-term immune memory that has the potential to provide long-lasting protection. CD19.CAR-T cells have achieved complete response rates of over 90% for acute lymphoblastic leukemia and over 60% for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. However, the response rate of CAR-T cells in the treatment of solid tumors remains extremely low and the side effects potentially severe...

OBJECTIVE: Vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) is an emerging surgical procedure that combines the advantages of the vaginal approach with laparoscopic vision and instrumentation [1]. Shorter hospitalization and lower postoperative pain associated to vNOTES [2] may be explained by the advantages of this innovative surgical approach (such as absence of abdominal incisions, shorter operating time, lower insufflation pressure) [2;3]. Ovarian tissue cryopreservation allows to preserve reproductive and endocrine functions in young women with oncological disease at risk of premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) caused by gonadotoxic treatments [4]...

OBJECTIVE: Primary extranodal non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (PE-NHL) of the head and neck is the second common site of extranodal lymphoma, accounting for approximately one-third of all extranodal non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (E-NHL). However, in recent years, large-scale PE-NHL case studies in China and worldwide are rare and not comprehensive enough. This work analyzed the clinical manifestations, pathological features, immunophenotypes and diagnosis of PE-NHL, as well as the factors affecting the treatment and prognosis...

DESIGN: Retrospective cohort analysis using the Virtual Pediatric Systems (VPS, LLC) between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2019. SETTING: One hundred thirteen North American PICUs participating in VPS...

Burkitt's lymphoma (BL) is considered an aggressive form of a non-Hodgkin B-cell lymphoma, representing less than 5% of all pediatric malignancies and 30% of pediatric lymphomas. However, intestinal BL may present as a lead point, causing intussusception. Surgery continues to be the gold standard for the treatment and identification of localized tumors to ensure complete removal with proper margin. In this report, we describe a hidden BL presenting as intestinal intussusception in an eight-year-old Arab boy...

Parsaclisib, a potent and highly selective phosphoinositide 3-kinase δ inhibitor, has shown clinical activity in relapsed/refractory (R/R) B-cell lymphoma. The phase 1 CITADEL-112 (NCT03424122) study assessed safety and efficacy of parsaclisib in combination with investigator choice standard of care (SOC; rituximab [Treatment A], rituximab plus bendamustine [Treatment B], or ibrutinib [Treatment C]) in 50 patients with R/R B-cell lymphoma. The most common treatment-emergent adverse events included neutropenia (62...

INTRODUCTION: This study aimed to investigate the association between obesity and cancer risk as well as site-specific cancer risks in adults with HIV using a nationwide health screening database in Korea.

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy has dramatically shifted the landscape of treatment especially for Non-Hodgkin-Lymphoma (NHL). This study evaluates the role of fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) in NHL treated with CAR T-cell therapy concerning response assessment and prognosis.We evaluated 34 patients with NHL who received a CAR T-cell therapy between August 2019 and July 2022. All patients underwent a pre-therapeutic FDG-PET/CT (PET-0) 6 days prior and a post-therapeutic FDG-PET/CT (PET-1) 34 days after CAR T-cell therapy...

UNLABELLED: Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is a common cancer in both men and women and represents a significant cancer burden worldwide. Primary effusion lymphoma (PEL) is a subtype of NHL infected with Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV). PEL is an aggressive and lethal cancer with no current standard of care, owing largely to its propensity to develop resistance to current chemotherapeutic regimens. Here, we report a reliance of KSHV-positive PEL on the mitotic kinase, NEK2, for survival...

BACKGROUND: Primary central nervous system lymphoma(PCNSL) is an aggressive, rare form of Non-Hodgkin lymphoma, characterized by the absence of systemic disease. There are limited data and no strictly defined guidelines for management of PCNSL. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to report a 10 year experience of PCNSL treatment, to evaluate treatment outcomes and asses Progression Free and Overall Survival of these patients. METHODS: Study was conducted on the Haematology Clinic, Clinical center University of Sarajevo, BH, in the period from January 2012...

The conditioning regimen is an important part of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (ASCT). We explored the efficacy and safety of an optimized BEAC (adjusted-dose, intermediate-dose cytarabine and reduced-dose cyclophosphamide, AD-BEAC) conditioning regimen for non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). A total of 141 NHL patients received AD-BEAC or a standard-dose BEAC (SD-BEAC) conditioning regimen from January 2007 to December 2017, and 104 patients were included in the study after 1:1 propensity matching...

Lymphoma represent the third most common malignant disease in childhood and adolescence. They are divided into pediatric Hodgkin lymphoma (P-HL) and pediatric non-Hodgkin lymphoma (P-NHL). In P-HL, excellent cure rates are achieved through combined modality treatment using chemotherapy and radiotherapy. For more than 20 years, FDG-PET has been an integral part of the treatment and guides its intensity through improved staging and precise assessment of chemotherapy response. In P-NHL, good cure rates are achieved with chemotherapy alone...

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a heterogeneous and prevalent subtype of aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma that poses diagnostic and prognostic challenges, particularly in predicting drug responsiveness. In this study, we used digital pathology and deep learning to predict responses to immunochemotherapy in patients with DLBCL. We retrospectively collected 251 slide images from 216 DLBCL patients treated with rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP), with their immunochemotherapy response labels...

BACKGROUND: The application of CD19-directed chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR T) cell therapy has improved outcomes for thousands of patients with non-Hodgkin B cell lymphoma (NHL). The toxicities associated with various CAR T cell products, however, can be severe and difficult to anticipate. METHODS: In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we set out to determine whether there are measurable differences in common toxicities, including cytokine release syndrome (CRS), immune effector cell associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS), cytopenias, and infections, between CAR T products that are commercially available for the treatment of NHL...
