Book Description
The diagnosis and treatment of Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) have evolved significantly in the past decade. With advances in our understanding of DLBCL through the application of immunophenotypic, molecular cytogenetic analysis and clinical correlation, a growing number of discrete subtypes and entities of DLBCL have been recognised, along with improved prognostic stratification and treatment strategies. A simple diagnosis of DLBCL and standard chemotherapy are no longer appropriate for every individual patient anymore. Pathologists and practicing clinicians need to be familiar with current literature in order to achieve the best treatment of their patients. This book aims to provide the most up-to-date knowledge of the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment strategies of DLBCL. Each chapter focuses on a different subject of DLBCL: pathology, prognosis, chemotherapy regimens and future directions, role of radiation therapy and hematopoietic stem cell transplant, and treatment strategies, as well as special considerations in the treatment of the most common subtypes of DLBCL. The authors are practicing physicians in major medical centers and university hospitals, and are familiar with the challenges of diagnosing and treating patients with DLBCL. The book is written for practicing physicians and provides practical information and advice for their daily practice. Residents, fellows and physicians in their early career development will also find the contents of this book useful for their education and board preparation. The authors hope that the material covered in this book will serve as a foundation for readers to keep up with future developments in this specific field of study.

B Cell Receptor Signaling
Author: Tomohiro Kurosaki
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319261339
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 233
Book Description
This volume details our current understanding of the architecture and signaling capabilities of the B cell antigen receptor (BCR) in health and disease. The first chapters review new insights into the assembly of BCR components and their organization on the cell surface. Subsequent contributions focus on the molecular interactions that connect the BCR with major intracellular signaling pathways such as Ca2+ mobilization, membrane phospholipid metabolism, nuclear translocation of NF-kB or the activation of Bruton’s Tyrosine Kinase and MAP kinases. These elements orchestrate cytoplasmic and nuclear responses as well as cytoskeleton dynamics for antigen internalization. Furthermore, a key mechanism of how B cells remember their cognate antigen is discussed in detail. Altogether, the discoveries presented provide a better understanding of B cell biology and help to explain some B cell-mediated pathogenicities, like autoimmune phenomena or the formation of B cell tumors, while also paving the way for eventually combating these diseases.

Hematology
Author: Margarita Guenova
Publisher: BoD – Books on Demand
ISBN: 178923350X
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 212
Book Description
Hematology has constantly been advancing in parallel with technological developments that have expanded our understanding of the phenotypic, genetic, and molecular complexity and extreme clinical and biological heterogeneity of blood diseases. This has in turn allowed for developing more effective and less toxic alternative therapeutic approaches directed against critical molecular pathways. The continuous and rather extensive influx of new information regarding the key features and underlying mechanisms as well as treatment options in hematology requires a frequent update of this topic. The primary objective of this book is to provide the specialists involved in the clinical management and experimental research in hematological diseases with comprehensive and concise information on some important theoretical and practical developments in the biology, clinical assessment, and treatment of patients, as well as on some molecular and pathogenetic mechanisms and the respective translation into novel therapies.

Fast Facts: CAR T-Cell Therapy in Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma
Author: R.J. Buka
Publisher: Karger Medical and Scientific Publishers
ISBN: 3318069353
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 95
Book Description
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common form of high-grade non-Hodgkin lymphoma. While treatment with immunochemotherapy has generally shown good outcomes, specific subgroups of patients with high-risk disease have an unfavorable prognosis. Extensive efforts have been made to improve outcomes in these patients. As such, CD19-targeted chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy has become the new standard of care for patients with relapsed or refractory DLBCL after at least two prior lines of therapy. It is an exciting new therapeutic intervention that is integral to the concept of personalized medicine. Table of Contents: • DLBCL: an overview • CAR T cells • CAR T-cell products • Delivering CAR T-cell therapy and managing patient expectations • CAR T-cell therapy-related toxicities

The Heterogeneity of Cancer Metabolism
Author: Anne Le
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 331977736X
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 186
Book Description
Genetic alterations in cancer, in addition to being the fundamental drivers of tumorigenesis, can give rise to a variety of metabolic adaptations that allow cancer cells to survive and proliferate in diverse tumor microenvironments. This metabolic flexibility is different from normal cellular metabolic processes and leads to heterogeneity in cancer metabolism within the same cancer type or even within the same tumor. In this book, we delve into the complexity and diversity of cancer metabolism, and highlight how understanding the heterogeneity of cancer metabolism is fundamental to the development of effective metabolism-based therapeutic strategies. Deciphering how cancer cells utilize various nutrient resources will enable clinicians and researchers to pair specific chemotherapeutic agents with patients who are most likely to respond with positive outcomes, allowing for more cost-effective and personalized cancer therapeutic strategies.
