Bone marrow transplantation · 2026
Cellular therapies, namely autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (autoHCT), allogeneic HCT (alloHCT) and more recently, chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapies (CART), play a major role in state-of-the-art treatment of mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). With numerous therapeutic innovations currently entering the MCL treatment landscape, guidance for indication, sequencing and application of cellular therapies is of key importance. To address this practical need, the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) Practice Harmonisation and Guidelines Committee convened an international expert meeting in Berlin on Sept 29/30, 2025. EBMT provided funding and logistical suppor…

In recent classifications several cutaneous lymphomas were reclassified as lymphoproliferative disorder (LPDs). These include primary cutaneous CD4+ small/medium T-cell LPD (PCSM-TCLPD), primary cutaneous acral CD8+ T-cell LPD (acral CD8+ TCLPD) and primary cutaneous marginal zone lymphoma/LPD (PCMZL/LPD). The latter is still classified as primary cutaneous marginal zone lymphoma (PCMZL) in the 5th edition of the World Health Organization classification. A survey was previously carried out among 30 cutaneous lymphoma centres on the effects of this new terminology on clinical management. The results revealed considerable heterogeneity and emphasized the need to develop uniform recommendations…

The management of large B-cell lymphomas (LBCL) has undergone major changes over the last 5 years. These changes reflect the availability of new therapies (immunotherapies, cell therapies, targeted molecules), but also a better compartmentalization of the entities and their specific clinical characteristics. Numerous first-, second- and third-line therapeutic strategies are available, and each practitioner is committed to selecting the treatment that offers the best balance between efficacy and toxicity. Advances in the understanding of LBCL biology, coupled with improvements in diagnostic and monitoring tools and therapeutic approaches, have significantly enhanced patient outcomes in recent…

Journal of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network : JNCCN · 2026
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a heterogenous subtype of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). The treatment landscape of newly diagnosed MCL has evolved in recent years with the incorporation of covalent BTK inhibitors, sensitive assays for the assessment of measurable residual disease (MRD), and predefined maintenance or continuous therapy. Covalent BTK inhibitor-based regimens are also appropriate options for patients with previously untreated classic MCL with TP53 mutations. Pirtobrutinib (a highly selective noncovalent BTK inhibitor) and CAR T-cell therapy (brexucabtagene autoleucel or lisocabtagene maraleucel) have emerged as effective treatment options for refractory or progressive diseas…
PMID 42753811Is tattooing associated with an increased risk of cancer? A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Clinical & translational oncology : official publication of the Federation of Spanish Oncology Societies and of the National Cancer Institute of Mexico · 2026
BACKGROUND: Tattoo inks may contain carcinogenic compounds, and pigment migration to lymphatic tissues raises concerns regarding potential cancer risk. Epidemiological evidence remains inconclusive. OBJECTIVES: To assess the association between tattoo exposure and the incidence of skin cancer and hematological malignancies. METHODS: PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library were searched from inception to January 2026 for cohort and case-control studies comparing cancer incidence in tattooed versus non-tattooed adults. Random-effects meta-analyses using restricted maximum-likelihood estimators were performed to pool odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Heterogeneity was quan…
PMID 42250187Long-term cardiovascular risk in survivors of hematologic malignancies: a meta-analysis.
BMC cancer · 2026
BACKGROUND: The survival rate for hematologic malignancies is steadily improving. With the encouraging trend and the aging of these survivors, there is an ever-increasing responsibility for identifying adverse cardiovascular outcomes associated with carcinogenesis and/or anti-cancer therapies across the span of their lives. However, prospective studies have yielded inconsistent results. METHODS: We performed a meta-analysis to summarize the evidence regarding the association between leukemia, Hodgkin lymphoma (HL), and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) in relation to later risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Relevant literatures were identified from PubMed and Web of Science databases through May…
