The WHO classification of NHL recognizes more than 90 nosological units with peculiar pathophysiology and prognosis. Since the end of the 20th century, our increasing knowledge of the molecular biology of lymphoma subtypes led to the identification of novel druggable targets and subsequent testing and clinical approval of novel anti-lymphoma agents, which translated into significant improvement of patients’ outcome. Despite immense progress, our effort to control or even eradicate malignant lymphoma clones has been frequently hampered by the development of drug resistance with ensuing unmet medical need to cope with relapsed or treatment-refractory disease. A better understanding of the molecular mechanisms that underlie inherent or acquired drug resistance might lead to the design of more effective front-line treatment algorithms based on reliable predictive markers or personalized salvage therapy, tailored to overcome resistant clones, by targeting weak spots of lymphoma cells resistant to previous line(s) of therapy. This review focuses on the history and recent advances in our understanding of molecular mechanisms of resistance to genotoxic and targeted agents used in clinical practice for the therapy of NHL.

Chemo-immunotherapy remains widely used as frontline MCL treatment with multiple targeted therapies available for relapsed disease. The Bruton’s tyrosine kinase in- hibitors (BTKi) ibrutinib, acalabrutinib, and zanubrutinib achieve objective responses in the majority of patients as single agent therapy for relapsed MCL, but differ with regard to toxicity profile and dosing schedule. Lenalidomide and bortezomib are likewise approved for relapsed MCL and are active as monotherapy or in combination with other agents. Venetoclax has been used off-label for the treatment of relapsed and refractory MCL, however data are lacking regarding the efficacy of this approach particularly following BTKi treatment. Anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapies have emerged as highly effective therapy for relapsed MCL, with the CAR-T treatment brexucabtagene autoleucel now approved for relapsed MCL. In this review the authors summarize evidence to date for currently approved MCL treatments for relapsed disease including Citation: Bond, D.A; Martin, P.; sequencing of therapies, and discuss future directions including combination treatment strategies Maddocks, K.J Relapsed Mantle Cell and new therapies under investigation.

  • Indolent Lymphoma in Dogs
    Indolent Lymphoma in Dogs You diagnose indolent lymphoma in a dog. What is indolent lymphoma? What is the prognosis and what are the treatment options? What is indolent lymphoma? Indolent lymphoma (also called small-cell or low-grade lymphoma) is an uncommon form of lymphoma in dogs, representing around 5-29%1 of all canine lymphoma. The subtypes described include follicular lymphoma, marginal zone lymphoma, mantle zone and T-zone lymphoma, which are all derived from B-cells (except for T-zone lymphoma, which is T-cell in origin).2,3 In general, indolent lymphoma is characterised by small lymphocytes, a low mitotic index and slow clinical course of progression. Most dogs with indolent lymphoma present with generalised lymphadenopathy. Some dogs present with solitary lymph node involvement or only splenic involvement. Few dogs present with clinical signs, and if clinical signs are present (including lymphadenopathy), it can wax and wane and is usually mild. T-zone lymphoma (TZL) T-zone lymphoma is the most common subtype in canine indolent lymphoma representing around 60% of dogs with indolent lymphoma.1 TZL is characterised by unique loss of CD45 expression, T-zone distinct histologic pattern and small clear cell cytomorphology.4-6 This subtype is associated with the longest median survival times in dogs with indolent lymphoma.1 Middle-aged to older dogs are primarily affected (median age 8 to 10 years).5 Common breeds affected include Golden retriever (40-50%)6,7 and Shih Tzu.5 There is no apparent gender predilection. Dogs typically present with generalised peripheral lymphadenopathy (that may wax and wane) and/or lymphocytosis with no clinical signs of illness (clinical substage a, 80%).5 If clinical signs are present, it is usually non-specific and mild.
