Objectives: This study aimed to provide evidence on the epidemiology, real-world treatment patterns, overall survival, and economic burden of Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM).

Methods: A retrospective analysis of an anonymized large German claims database from January 1, 2010, to June 30, 2022, identified incident WM cases based on a 12-month diagnosis-free period before the first confirmed WM diagnosis (ICD-10-GM code C88.0).

Background: Primary pulmonary extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT lymphoma) localized in the trachea and bronchus is rare and diagnostically challenging due to nonspecific clinical and radiological features.

Case Description: We present two cases of primary endobronchial MALT lymphoma incidentally diagnosed via bronchoscopy. We assessed the characteristic bronchoscopic finding of endobronchial MALT lymphoma, radiological examinations and overall treatment strategies.

Aim: Total neoadjuvant therapy (TNT) for locally advanced rectal cancer improves oncological outcomes and organ preservation rates, but the impact on patient quality of life (QoL) is not known. This cohort study compares the quality of life (QoL) of post-TNT watch-and-wait (W&W) patients to a historical cohort of patients that underwent standard care.

Method: Patients managed with a W&W approach following a personalised TNT (pTNT W&W group) were compared with historical group patients who had undergone standard treatment but who would have been eligible for pTNT under our current protocol (STD group).

Background: The therapeutic efficacy and mode of combining immunotherapy with neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy in proficient mismatch repair (pMMR)/microsatellite stable (MSS) locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) remain uncertain.

Methods: In this multicenter, randomized, seamless phase 2/3 trial (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT05484024), eligible participants were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive short-course radiotherapy (SCRT) (5 Gy × 5), followed by 4 cycles of capecitabine and oxaliplatin or 6 cycles of leucovorin, oxaliplatin, and fluorouracil, with (iTNT group) or without (total neoadjuvant therapy [TNT] group) 4 cycles of sintilimab.

Background: Total neoadjuvant therapy is increasingly utilized for locally advanced rectal cancer. However, the optimal interval between total neoadjuvant therapy and surgery remains unclear. Existing trials report intervals ranging from 2-4 weeks to 11-18 weeks, and many surgeons believe surgery becomes more difficult after a certain point, but the exact timing and its impact on complications are unknown.
