Dramatic Response with Single-Agent Ibrutinib in Multiply Relapsed Marginal Zone Lymphoma with MYD88L265P Mutation
The B-cell receptor signaling pathway is important in the lymphomagenesis of many lymphomas, including marginal zone lymphoma (MZL). Herein we describe a case of extranodal MZL refractory to multiple lines of therapy. The presence of an IgM paraprotein prompted further evaluation, and the patient was found to have an MYD88L265P mutation. Treatment with ibrutinib led to a dramatic response with ...
متن کاملEvaluation of FOXP1 gene expression in pediatric B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia patients at remission induction therapy
Background: Transcription factors (TFs) play a key role in the development, therapy, and relapse of B-cell malignancies, such as B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL). Given the essential function of Forkhead box protein P1 (FOXP1) transcription factor in the early development of B-cells, this study was designed to evaluate FOXP1 gene expression levels in pediatric BCP-ALL pat...
متن کاملRituximab plus chemotherapy in children with relapsed or refractory CD20-positive B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
We treated three children with relapsed or refractory CD20 positive B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia with rituximab in combination with chemotherapy, which produced a decreasing or persistent low positive minimal residual disease load. Two children subsequently underwent allogeneic stem cell transplantation and remain in complete remission at days +399 and +332.
متن کاملA literature review of single agent treatment of multiply relapsed aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
To analyze the available literature describing the treatment of relapsed aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) with single-agent chemotherapies, several comprehensive electronic and manual inspections of the literature were performed for the period from 1966 to the present. Each paper was examined to capture the following data: study type; patient demographics and characteristics; study endpo...
متن کاملDistal Renal Tubular Acidosis with Grade 4 Vesicoureteral Reflux in a Child with Single Kidney
Introduction Renal tubular acidosis (RTA) is a non-uremic defects of urinary acidification. It is characterized by a normal anion gap hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis; plasma potassium may be normal, low or high-depending on the type of RTA. These syndromes differ from uremic acidosis which is associated with a high anion gap, decreased glomerular filtration with enhanced proton secretion b...
