Background: There are inconsistencies in the results of the studies investigating the association between inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and lymphoma.
Aims: The aim of this study is to systematically appraise the risk of lymphoma development in patients with IBD.
Methods: We searched Embase, PubMed and Scopus from inception to 30 April 2024 to identify population-based cohort studies that evaluated the risk of lymphoma in patients with IBD in comparison with those without IBD. We carried out random-effects meta-analyses and estimated pooled relative risks (RRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs).
Results: We identified 23 eligible studies reporting 2078 lymphoma events in 656,731 patients with IBD. Patients with IBD had 30% higher odds of lymphoma (RR = 1.30 [95% CI: 1.21-1.40]). The risk of developing both Hodgkin's lymphoma (nine studies, RR = 1.29 [95% CI: 1.06-1.53]) and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (16 studies, RR = 1.31 [95% CI: 1.20-1.42]) was increased in patients with IBD (p for interaction = 0.881). The increased risk of lymphoma was observed in both Crohn's disease (17 studies, RR = 1.54 [95% CI: 1.27-1.80]) and ulcerative colitis (20 studies, RR = 1.22 [95% CI: 1.09-1.35]) (p for interaction = 0.026). Meta-regression demonstrated that mean age of patients, study year, mean study follow-up duration, and percentages of immunomodulators and biologics use did not influence study outcome.
Conclusions: The risk of lymphoma is only modestly increased in patients with IBD, with Crohn's disease having a slightly higher risk than ulcerative colitis. In IBD, there appears to be no difference between the risks of Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) is a promising biomarker for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) risk stratification and treatment response assessment, but real-world studies were limited. Using a targeted sequencing approach (521-gene panel), we showed that (1) baseline ctDNA level correlated with tumour burden and was an independent predictor of treatment outcome, (2) achievement of minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity was associated with a better treatment outcome and (3) interim MRD-positivity combined with positron emission tomography/computed tomography scan-positivity identified a high-risk subgroup of DLBCL patients. Baseline ctDNA level and treatment related achievement of MRD negativity are valuable prognostic tools in DLBCL to improve risk stratification in routine clinical practice.

An 84-year-old man with a history of amputation and follicular lymphoma developed a non-healing ulcer on his stump, initially diagnosed as a pressure ulcer cause by the clinic and lack of B-symptoms. Despite wound care, the lesion worsened. A biopsy revealed de novo diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), non-germinal center subtype.

Blinatumomab is a bispecific T-cell engager that has recently transformed front-line treatment for many patients with Philadelphia chromosome (Ph)-negative B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). It was originally studied in relapsed/refractory disease, then moved to targeting measurable residual disease (MRD), and has since been shown to improve outcomes for almost every age group when added to consolidation chemotherapy. The evidence supporting blinatumomab is most robust in adult and standard-risk pediatric age groups, but its benefit in adolescents and young adults and high-risk pediatric patients is not yet understood.

Background: Phase 1 trials may expose pediatric oncology patients to potential adverse effects beyond drug-related toxicity, including delays in advance care planning and suboptimal quality of end-of-life (EoL) care. Pediatric palliative care (PPC) can provide symptom management support and assist with EoL planning and care for patients and families enrolling in Phase 1 trials; however, little is known about children with cancer who enroll in Phase 1 studies.
Methods: A retrospective medical record review of pediatric oncology patients enrolled on a Phase 1 clinical trial over a 9-year period was completed at an academic cancer hospital.

Valemetostat is a dual inhibitor of EZH2/1 approved in Japan for the treatment of relapsed/refractory (R/R) adult T-cell lymphoma/leukemia (ATLL) and R/R peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL). It is administered orally once daily (QD) at 200 mg. Here, we present comprehensive population pharmacokinetic (PPK) and exposure-response (ER) analyses of valemetostat.
