Double-hit lymphoma (DHL) is an aggressive large B cell lymphoma associated with a poor prognosis with R-CHOP chemotherapy. The optimal treatment is unknown, but outcomes might be improved with intensive induction regimens or consolidative high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation (HDT/ASCT). The ...
Diagnostic approaches and future directions in Burkitt lymphoma and high-grade B-cell lymphoma.
Since the 2016 WHO update, progress has been made in understanding the biology of Burkitt lymphoma (BL) and the concept of high-grade B-cell lymphomas (HGBCL) that allows some degree of refinement. The summary presented here reviews in detail the discussions of the Clinical Advisory Committee and expands upon the newly...
SMYD3 promotes aerobic glycolysis in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma via H3K4me3-mediated PKM2 transcription.
Genetic abnormalities in histone methyltransferases (HMTs) frequently occur in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and are related to its progression. SET and MYND domain containing 3 (SMYD3) is an HMT that is upregulated in various tumors and promotes their malignancy. However, to the best of our knowledge, the func...
A Case Report of Primary Extranodal Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma Involving the Masseter Muscle: Histological-Radiological Correlation.
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common type of non- Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL). However, the primary skeletal muscle involvement of DLBCL is extremely rare, comprising less than 1% of all the extranodal lymphoma. To date, only 8 cases of extranodal NHL involving the masticator muscles have been reported...
A novel immune-related epigenetic signature based on the transcriptome for predicting the prognosis and therapeutic response of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
Epigenetic modifications contribute to lymphomagenesis. Here, we performed an expression clustering analysis and identified two epigenetic-related clusters (EC1 and EC2). EC1 presented abundant TP53, MYD88, HIST1H1D, HIST1H1C, KMT2D and EZH2 mutations and an inferior prognosis. Pathways involved in the regulation of DN...
CNS prophylaxis for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
CNS relapse in the brain parenchyma, eyes, or leptomeninges is an uncommon but devastating complication of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. CNS prophylaxis strategies, typically involving intrathecal or high-dose antimetabolites, have been developed in the front-line treatment setting with the aim to reduce this subseque...
Physical activity and the risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma subtypes: A pooled analysis.
Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is composed of a heterogeneous collection of subtypes with considerable differences in genetics, biology and aetiology. Studies to date on physical activity and NHL risk have not had sufficient sample size to evaluate whether associations differ by subtype. We pooled data from nine case-contr...
Apatinib enhances chemosensitivity of ABT-199 in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
To investigate the effect of Apatinib (an inhibitor targeting VEGFR-2) enhances chemosensitivity of ABT-199 on diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Viability assay and flow cytometric assay for determining apoptosis, cell cycle, mitochondrial membrane potential, reactive oxygen species and immunoblotting were used to...
Detection of DLBCL by pixel purity index and iterative linearly constrained minimum variance into hyperspectral imaging analysis.
It is unclear whether a hyperspectral imaging-based approach can facilitate the diagnosis of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), and further investigation is required. In this study, the pixel purity index (PPI) coupled with iterative linearly constrained minimum variance (ILCMV) was used to bridge this gap. We retr...
Clinical significance of MYD88 non-L265P mutations in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a group of heterogeneous tumors with different molecular traits and clinical features. MYD88 is an oncogene that activates the nuclear factor κB pathway in DLBCL. MYD88 L265P mutation frequently occurs in DLBCL with poor prognosis, while the clinical significance of non-L265P mu...
Bile duct MALT lymphoma diagnosed with direct cholangioscopy: a case report.
Extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT lymphoma) extremely rarely arise in extrahepatic biliary tract. Here, we report a case of bile duct MALT lymphoma diagnosed with direct cholangioscopy. The patient was an 80-year-old female with history of esophageal cancer, and had been occas...
Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound Parameters and D-Dimer: New Prognostic Parameters for Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma.
To investigate the predictive role of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) plus D-dimer levels in the prognosis of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). CEUS was applied to assess lymph nodes in 186 patients with confirmed DLBCL. The clinical data and laboratory indicators were collected from these p...
Pharmacologic screen identifies active combinations with BET inhibitors and LRRK2 as a novel putative target in lymphoma.
Inhibitors of the Bromo- and Extra-Terminal domain (BET) family proteins have strong preclinical antitumor activity in multiple tumor models, including lymphomas. Limited single-agent activity has been reported in the clinical setting. Here, we have performed a pharmacological screening to identify compounds that can i...
Targetable alterations in primary extranodal diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
Primary extranodal diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (PE-DLBCL) is a heterogeneous subgroup of DLBCL. We investigated the prevalence and prognostic value of surface expression of PD-L1, PD1, and CD30, copy number of 9p24.1 (PD-L1 region), and mutations in
An integrated prognostic model for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma treated with immunochemotherapy.
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), the most frequent non-Hodgkin's lymphoma subtype, is characterized by strong biological, morphological, and clinical heterogeneity, but patients are treated with immunochemotherapy in a relatively homogeneous way. Here, we have used a customized NanoString platform to analyze a se...
Low lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio predicts poor outcome in high-risk aggressive large B-cell lymphoma.
Low lymphocyte-to-monocyte-ratio (LMR) has been associated with unfavorable survival in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). To date, however, the impact of LMR on survival has not been examined in a uniformly treated cohort of patients with high-risk aggressive large B-cell lymphoma. We collected perip...
An artificial intelligence system applied to recurrent cytogenetic aberrations and genetic progression scores predicts
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), the most common type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, is characterized by
