Hematological Malignancies

Observational studies have associated use of aspirin and selective cyclooxygenase inhibitors with decreased recurrence and improved survival in patients with colon cancer...This was a post hoc analysis of the phase 3 Cancer and Leukemia Group B (now Alliance)/Southwest Oncology Group 80702 randomized clinical trial (2010-2015) assessing adjuvant celecoxib vs placebo and 3 vs 6 months of adjuvant 5-fluorouracil, leucovorin, and oxaliplatin for stage III colon cancer...The findings of this post hoc analysis suggest that ctDNA status has the potential to inform clinical decision-making among patients with stage III colon cancer who should consider adjuvant celecoxib in addition to conventional chemotherapy. ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT01150045.

We will discuss how these factors may help shape therapeutic choices. Finally, we will highlight innovative research avenues aiming at improving prognostication of CML.

After induction therapy with the lenalidomide-dexamethasone (RD) regimen, ASCT is performed and partial remission is achieved. The pathogenesis of secondary MDS in POEMS syndrome is discussed from three aspects: cytotoxic therapy, genetic predisposition, and SARS-CoV-2 infection. This case underscores the importance of prolonged surveillance for secondary myeloid neoplasms (sMN) in POEMS patients and suggests that early genomic profiling and individualized treatment may improve outcomes.

Patients who achieved CR after induction therapy had a longer RFS (P=0.033). Allo-HSCT is effective in the treatment of MPAL especially in patients who achieved CR after induction therapy or who got MRD-negative pre-HSCT.

Multidisciplinary methods are crucial for diagnosing CML blast crisis. Orelabatinib shows efficacy, and more research on personalized treatment is needed.

CD5+ diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is aggressive, and Rituximab-Cyclophosphamide Hydroxydaunorubicin Vincristine Prednisone (R-CHOP) combined with radiotherapy is recommended, but prognosis is affected by age, Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) levels, and molecular characteristics such as TP53 mutations. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy are the first choice for treatment. It is very important to formulate a reasonable treatment plan according to the results of pathology and molecular analysis.

Gal-9 increased IL-1β level as a critical inflammatory cytokine in the proliferation and resistance of AML cells to therapy. According to this finding, targeting and blocking the TIM-3/Gal-9 autocrine loop can suppress IL-Ιβ production and facilitate AML treatment.

Moreover, FTY720 co-treatment resensitized G12D NRAS -mutated M14(R)701 cells to gilteritinib in vivo. Co-treatment inactivated ERK, transcriptionally downregulated SPHK1, and inactivated downstream AKT, p70S6K and BAD, with inactivation abrogated by constitutive SPHK1 expression. The clinically applicable S1PR modulators fingolimod and mocravimod resensitize NRAS -mutated FLT3-ITD AML cells to FLT3 inhibitors, supporting potential clinical efficacy of these combinations.

Extensive in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrated the micelles' potent catalytic activity, significant inhibition of lymphoma progression, and strong antimetastatic effects. Notably, the use of FDA-approved PLGA and clinically established DOTA chelation highlights the strong translational potential of this platform for future clinical applications.

Here, we show that sotorasib, adagrasib, and the RAS-ON inhibitor RMC-6291 are effective in a neuroblastoma cell line altered by KRAS(G12C). Importantly, sotorasib also decreased ERK phosphorylation in a NRAS(G12C)-altered cell line xenograft model; however, this treatment did not prolong survival as a single agent. These results suggest that combinations of targeted agents that include sotorasib may be required for clinical benefit in pediatric patients with H- or NRAS(G12C)-altered malignancies in addition to those with KRAS(G12C)-altered malignancies.
