    Beyond R-CHOP: The rise of antibody-drug conjugates in DLBCL. (PubMed, Blood Rev)
    Recently, ADCs have expanded the DLBCL therapeutic landscape, with the approvals of CD79b-targeted polatuzumab vedotin and CD19-directed loncastuximab tesirine for R/R and even frontline disease. However, the clinical application of ADCs is accompanied by challenges, including the management of characteristic toxicities, understanding and overcoming mechanisms of resistance. This review systematically synthesizes the mechanisms of action, updated clinical evidence, toxicity profiles, and resistance mechanisms of ADCs in DLBCL, while also discusses management strategies and provides perspectives on future directions.

    Have Fixed-Duration (FD) Regimens Delivered on Their Promise in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia and What Is the Future of FD Regimens? A Narrative Review. (PubMed, Adv Ther)
    Successful fixed-duration regimens in CLL should achieve deep remission (i.e., undetectable minimal residual disease), sustain long-term progression-free survival, decrease the burden of treatment-related adverse events, and allow for re-treatment with minimal risk of drug resistance. Although fixed-duration treatment represents a positive step forward for most patients with CLL/SLL, the currently approved regimens often fall short in patients at high risk of progression. Continued research and development of next-generation drugs is essential to enhance efficacy and safety, ultimately improving outcomes in all patients with CLL/SLL.

    An Intestinal Intravascular Large B-Cell Lymphoma Presenting as Small Bowel Ischemia: A Case Report and Literature Review. (PubMed, Cureus)
    The patient was transferred to the hematology department to initiate chemotherapy with the R-CHOP regimen...Intestinal IVLBCL, a rare malignant lymphoma characterized by the selective proliferation of tumor cells within the lumen of small- to medium-sized blood vessels, represents a GI manifestation of IVLBCL. This case report describes a 78-year-old man who presented with vomiting and abdominal pain and was diagnosed with IVLBCL.
