Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Lymphoma is one of the most common malignant tumors, with an increasing number of cases year by year. Lymphomas are classified into more than 100 subtypes in the current WHO classification. This year, the WHO established criteria for the classification of hematolymphoid tumors based on recent advances in the clinicopathological and genomic/genetic findings. At the same time, the Clinical Advisory Committee also published the International Consensus Classification (ICC). These two classifications are similar in view of the progress to date, but there are several differences in the nomenclature of the types and definitions of disease subtypes. In the future, these two classifications will be utilized in parallel, recognizing their differences and the developing hematopathology.

This Special Issue focuses on recent advances in lymphomas, particularly those composed of large cells, irrespective of lineage. We seek expert review articles as well as research articles on recent advances in large-cell lymphomas.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Cancers is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2900 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Abstract
A subset of patients with rheumatoid arthritis receiving methotrexate develop immune deficiencies and dysregulation-associated lymphoproliferative disorders. Patients with these disorders often exhibit spontaneous regression after MTX withdrawal; however, chemotherapeutic intervention is frequently required in patients with classic Hodgkin lymphoma arising in immune deficiency/dysregulation.

A subset of patients with rheumatoid arthritis receiving methotrexate develop immune deficiencies and dysregulation-associated lymphoproliferative disorders. Patients with these disorders often exhibit spontaneous regression after MTX withdrawal; however, chemotherapeutic intervention is frequently required in patients with classic Hodgkin lymphoma arising in immune deficiency/dysregulation. In this study, we examined PD-L1 expression levels and 9p24.1 copy number alterations in 27 patients with classic Hodgkin lymphoma arising from immune deficiency/dysregulation. All patients demonstrated PD-L1 protein expression and harbored 9p24.1 copy number alterations on the tumor cells. When comparing clinicopathological data and associations with 9p24.1 copy number features, the copy gain group showed a significantly higher incidence of extranodal lesions and clinical stages than the amplification group. Notably, all cases in the amplification group had latency type II, while 6/8 (75%) in the copy gain group had latency type II, and 2/8 (25%) had latency type I. Thus, a subset of the copy-gain group demonstrated more extensive extranodal lesions and higher clinical stages. This finding speculates the presence of a genetically distinct subgroup within the group of patients who develop immune deficiencies and dysregulation-associated lymphoproliferative disorders, which may explain certain characteristic features.

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common aggressive lymphoma. Approximately 60% of patients are cured with R-CHOP as a frontline treatment, while the remaining patients experience primary refractory or relapsed disease (R/R). The prognosis for R/R DLBCL patients who are neither eligible for autologous stem-cell transplantations nor CAR-T-cell treatment is poor, representing an important unmet need. Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have dramatically improved therapeutic options in anti-cancer strategies, offering new opportunities to overcome chemo-refractoriness in this challenging disease, even in cases of primary non-responder DLBCL. Several novel mAbs, characterized by different mechanisms of action and targets, are now available for R/R DLBCL. Unbound mAbs induce an immune response against cancer cells, triggering different mechanisms, including antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC), activation of antibody-dependent cell-mediated phagocytosis (ADCP) and complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC). Antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs) and radioimmunotherapy (RIT), respectively, deliver a cytotoxic payload or a beta-emitter radionuclide to the targeted cells and nearby bystanders. Bispecific T-cell engagers (BiTes) and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) redirect and enhance the immune response against tumor cells. Here, we review therapeutic strategies based on monoclonal antibodies for R/R DLBCL. Full article
