Hodgkin Variant Richter's Transformation in the Absence of Classical Risk Factors: A Rare Case With Spinal Manifestation. (PubMed, Cureus)
After receiving six cycles of brentuximab+doxorubicin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine (A+AVD) therapy at our Department of Hematology (University of Debrecen), the patient achieved complete metabolic remission (CMR) and remains in good condition. HL-RT in CLL is relatively rare and generally associated with poorer outcomes, though it is typically more favorable than DLBCL-RT. In this case report, we highlight not only an uncommon anatomical location of HL-RT but also the absence of typical predisposing factors, such as a TP53 mutation, unmutated immunoglobulin heavy chain (IGHV) status, or a lack of 13q deletion.

Absence of CD38 Expression in Mantle Cell Lymphoma Correlates with Distinct Pathological and Genetic Features. (PubMed, Hum Pathol)
Biologically, CD38-negative cnMCLs appear to be more likely driven by CD38-independent, alternative signaling pathways. From a clinical perspective, identification of CD38-negative cnMCLs by flow cytometry may help recognizing patients at increased risk for adverse genetic features, including TP53 inactivation.

Wogonin derivative V8 enhances bortezomib efficacy in gastric carcinoma by disrupting lysosome-mediated drug resistance. (PubMed, World J Gastroenterol)
Lysosomes mediate BTZ resistance in GC; V8 overcomes this by disrupting lysosomes, enabling BTZ to target proteasomes. V8 + BTZ is a safe, effective strategy against GC.

Exome sequencing of Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin composite lymphomas identifies shared somatic mutations indicative of common founding precursors. (PubMed, Cancer Genet)
Our data suggest a common precursor in these two cases of composite lymphoma. The shared somatic variants we identified may represent early events in lymphomagenesis and potential therapeutic targets.

Proteogenomic features define subtypes of mantle cell lymphoma. (PubMed, Blood Adv)
This study provides the first comprehensive proteogenomic profile of MCL, offering novel insights into its molecular mechanisms and clinical behavior. The identification of molecular subtypes and prognostic protein signatures underscores the potential of proteomics to guide precision medicine strategies for MCL.

TCR T cells targeting IgA- and IgG-expressing multiple myeloma. (PubMed, Blood)
These findings establish immunoglobulin constant domains as viable TCR targets in MM, potentially making ~40% of patients of European descent eligible for TCR T cell therapy, and extension to additional HLA alleles could further broaden eligibility. The approach may also be applicable to lymphoma and antibody-mediated autoimmune diseases.

A comprehensive analysis of common cytogenetic abnormalities in multiple myeloma: from basic research to clinical applications. (PubMed, Pathology)
Among patients receiving bortezomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone (VRd) induction therapy, those with cytogenetic abnormalities showed significantly lower deep response rates (complete response + very good partial response). Furthermore, RB1 deletion or D13S319 deletion combined with other high-risk indicators further shortened PFS. These findings indicate that integrating expanded cytogenetic markers optimises MM risk stratification and provides a basis for individualised treatment strategies.

Integrated RNA-seq and RT-qPCR Workflow Identifies Non-IGH Fusion Transcripts as Individualized Molecular Markers for Monitoring Multiple Myeloma. (PubMed, Biomedicines)
These findings suggest that individualized fusion transcripts serve as robust molecular markers for MRD surveillance. The proposed RNA-seq-RT-qPCR pipeline offers a clinically practical strategy to enhance precision diagnosis and personalized treatment in MM.
