Dr. Daobin Zhou’s Team: Zanubrutinib combined with R-CHOP regimen demonstrates efficacy and safety in primary treatment of Intravascular Large B-Cell Lymphoma

Intravascular Large B-Cell Lymphoma (IVLBCL) is a subtype of large B-cell lymphoma, characterized by large tumor B-cells aggregating inside blood vessels. This disease is extremely rare and highly malignant, often involving the central nervous system, lungs, and skin. Its prognosis is poor and clinical treatment challenging. At the recently concluded 28th European Hematology Association (EHA) Annual Meeting, a study (Abstract Number: P1185) from Dr. Daobin Zhou's team at Peking Union Medical College Hospital was selected. This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of the Zanubrutinib combined with R-CHOP regimen in treating initial IVLBCL, attracting widespread attention. To further understand this study, the Oncolgy Fronter invited Dr. Zhou for a detailed interpretation and analysis, summarized as follows:

Interview with Dr. Andreas Rimner: The Role of Radiotherapy in the Treatment of Stage III Thymoma

Thymoma is one of the most common primary tumors in the anterior mediastinum, representing a group of diseases originating from different thymic epithelial cells, characterized by unique clinical and pathological features, often accompanied by various paraneoplastic syndromes. During the "Multidisciplinary Oncology Committee" session held at the 2023 European Lung Cancer Congress (ELCC), several experts discussed the treatment strategies for Stage III thymoma based on a case study. Dr. Andreas Rimner from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center presented on "The Timing of Radiotherapy in the Treatment of Stage III Thymoma." In an interview with Oncology Frontier, Andreas Rimner shares insights into the role of radiotherapy in the treatment of Stage III thymoma.
