Journal, HEOR: Exploring the potential cost-effectiveness of precision medicine treatment strategies for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 24, 2018 The subtype-based approach showed a favorable incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of $15,015/quality-adjusted life year compared with RCHOP. Although our exploratory analyses demonstrated a wide range of conditions where subtype-based treatment remained cost-effective, data from phase 3 trials are needed to validate our models' findings and draw definitive conclusions.

Review, Journal: Update on the Treatment of Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma.

The use of targeted therapies and other novel agents have improved outcomes for ALCL patients and in the future can complement or even replace the current standard of care and front-line treatment options.

Journal: Zwitterionic Temperature/Redox-Sensitive Nanogels for Near-Infrared Light-Triggered Synergistic Thermo-chemotherapy. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 16, 2018 Here, we develop zwitterionic temperature/redox-sensitive nanogels loaded with near-infrared (NIR) dye Indocyanine green (ICG) and anticancer drug doxorubicin (I/D@NG)...This nanoplatform for thermo-chemotherapy not only efficiently exerts synergistic cytotoxicity, but also overcomes all the physiological barriers of therapeutic agent, thereby providing substantial in vivo anticancer effect. The multiple functions of I/D@NG provide new insights into designing nanoplatforms for synergistic cancer therapy.

Journal: Anticancer activity of 2'-hydroxyflavanone towards lung cancer. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 15, 2018 Additionally, 2HF inhibited efflux of doxorubicin and increased its accumulation in the cells, but did not add to the transport inhibitory effect of anti-Rlip antibodies alone...Our result suggest that Rlip inhibition is likely a mechanism of action. Our findings are basis of proposing 2HF as therapeutic or preventative drug for lung cancer.

BCG is the only agent associated with decreased progression risk versus TURBT alone, but may be associated with higher risk of adverse events than other intravesical therapies, indicating trade-offs between potential benefits and harms.

Recent interest in genetic biomarkers led to developments of targeted therapies for LMS, although more research is needed to understand the molecular complexities underlying LMS to guide the development of novel treatment strategies.

Review, Journal: DLBCL Cell of Origin: What Role Should It Play in Care Today? (Pubmed Central) - Dec 13, 2018 Numerous studies have investigated novel agents in DLBCL with respect to GCB and ABC (or non-GCB) subtypes, but R-CHOP (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone) remains the standard of care for most patients. Here we review the methods of determining cell of origin (COO); use of COO in clinical practice; clinical trials in DLBCL according to COO; and future directions of tailoring treatment, including alternate categorization of genetic subtypes or clusters in DLBCL.
