    Abstract Background: Fibrinogen-like protein 2 (FGL2) is a serine protease capable of converting prothrombin into thrombin (i.e., prothrombinase-like activity) while bypassing the classic coagulation cascade. It has been reported to be expressed by mononuclear blood cells and endothelial cells. There are multiple reports that FGL2 supports tumor development and metastasis. However, in the blood, the origin and functional significance of FGL2 has not been established.
    Objective: To determine if FGL2, a malignancy related enzyme, is present in platelets.
    Methods: Peripheral blood samples were collected in K2 EDTA tubes. Blood cells and platelets were separated and thoroughly washed to produce plasma-free samples. Procoagulant activity was measured in the cell lysates using a thrombin generation test or an adjusted prothrombin time (PT) test in plasma deficient of factor X. The findings were further supported by confocal microscopy, immunoprecipitation, flow cytometry, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays and specific inhibition assays.
    Results: FGL2 protein was readily detected in platelets. Also, despite being expressed by lymphocytes, FGL2 prothrombinase-like activity was solely detected in platelet samples, but not in white blood cell samples. Quiescent platelets were shown to contain the FGL2 protein in an active form. Upon activation, platelets secreted the active FGL2 into the milieu.
    Conclusions: Active FGL2 is found in platelets. This suggests another role for the involvement of platelets in malignancies.

    Abstract Treatment with high-dose chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) is considered standard of care (SOC) second-line treatment for relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL). However, outcomes remain suboptimal. A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials comparing efficacy and safety of SOC versus chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy as second-line for patients with LBCL refractory or relapsing within 12 months. Outcomes included overall survival (OS), event-free survival (EFS), overall response rate (ORR) and safety. Three trials published in 2021 (involving 865 participants) fulfilled the eligibility criteria. EFS as well as OS were significantly improved with CAR-T therapy as compared to SOC, hazard ratio (HR) 0.57 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.49-0.68) and HR 0.77 (95% CI 0.60-0.98) respectively. CAR-T therapy was associated with significantly better ORR, relative risk (RR) 1.55 (95% CI 1.12-2.13, p = 0.001). The risk of Grade III/IV adverse event was comparable between the two arms, RR 1.03 (95% CI 0.93-1.14). In summary, CAR-T therapy has superior outcomes as compared to SOC in patients with LBCL refractory or relapsing within 12 months, without excess of toxicity. Longer follow-up is needed to confirm these results and determine the optimal sequencing of CAR-T therapy in the management of LBCL.

    Abstract Primary cardiac lymphoma is a rare and lethal tumor. We describe a patient with right coronary artery floating sign, a specific radiologic sign. Despite rapid diagnosis and guideline-directed medical therapy, disease relapsed and the patient died. Nevertheless, this case highlights the crucial role of imaging in cardiac tumors. (

    Abstract Background: Treatment with rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP) is standard of care first line treatment for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), though outcomes remain suboptimal.
    Methods: We performed a systemic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials comparing the efficacy and safety of R-CHOP vs. R-CHOP + X (addition of another drug to R-CHOP) as first line treatment for DLBCL. We searched Cochrane Library, PubMed and conference proceedings up to September 2020.
    Results: Our search yielded ten trials including 4206 patients. The added drug was bortezomib or lenalidomide in three trials each, and gemcitabine, bevacizumab and ibrutinib, each drug in one trial. R-CHOP + X was associated with statistically significant improved disease control (HR 0.88, 95% CI 0.78-0.99). The point estimate was in favor of improved overall survival with R-CHOP + X (hazard ratio (HR) 0.87, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.75-1.00), although this was not statistically significant. Subgroup analysis revealed improved disease control with the addition of lenalidomide and in patients younger than 60 years. R-CHOP + X was associated with an increase in serious adverse events and grade III/IV hematologic toxicity.
    Conclusion: The addition of another drug to frontline R-CHOP treatment for DLBCL did not result in a significant improvement in OS, although we did observe improved disease control compared to R-CHOP, perhaps most evident with the addition of lenalidomide. Yet, RCHOP + X was associated with an increased risk for serious and hematological adverse events. Further studies could reveal subgroups that would benefit most from augmentation of standard R-CHOP.

    Abstract Almost half of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) have relapsed/refractory (R/R) disease after frontline immunochemotherapy. Although guidelines recommend histological confirmation of R/R disease, repeat biopsies are not always performed. We conducted a two-part study: a nationwide case-vignette survey among treating hematologists, and a single center retrospective analysis. In the survey part, all 64 participating physicians opted not to perform a repeat biopsy in at least one scenario, more often in refractory cases. In the retrospective part, 116 episodes of R/R aNHL among 61 patients were identified. Repeat biopsy was not performed in 72%, more often in refractory episodes, mostly due to low likelihood of alternative diagnoses or problematic location for biopsy. Our study suggests that many patients do not undergo repeat biopsy in R/R DLBCL, especially in refractory cases. Future studies and recommendations should address the necessity of repeat biopsy, according to patient and disease related characteristics.

    Abstract Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is a rare disease with an incidence of 0.4/per 100,000 person-years. As there is a limited number of prospective randomized trials in PCNSL, large retrospective studies on this rare disease may yield information that might prove useful for the future design of randomized clinical trials. We retrospectively analyzed the data of 222 newly diagnosed PCNSL patients treated in five referral centers in Israel between 2001 and 2020. During this period, combination therapy became the treatment of choice, rituximab has been added to the induction therapy, and consolidation with irradiation was largely laid off and was mostly replaced by high-dose chemotherapy with or without autologous stem cell transplantation (HDC-ASCT). Patients older than 60 comprised 67.5% of the study population. First-line treatment included high-dose methotrexate (HD-MTX) in 94% of patients with a median MTX dose of 3.5 g/m
