Treatment of HIV-Associated Lymphomas: The Latest Approaches for Optimizing Outcomes

In those with DLBCL, Burkitt lymphoma, and Hodgkin lymphoma, cure is often achieved. Furthermore, in the salvage setting, whether auto-HCT or allo-HCT is used, the same appears to be true. A great deal of progress has been made in the treatment of lymphoma in patients with HIV infection, but more remains to be done before outcomes are comparable to those of the general population.

DLBCL Trials May Exclude Patients Who Need Novel Therapies Most

In this interview we discuss how a short diagnosis-to-treatment interval in newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is associated with worse outcomes and how this could lead to trials favoring patients with a longer diagnosis-to-treatment interval and better expected outcomes.

Woman With Rare Cause of Rectal Bleeding

A 56-year-old Caucasian woman presented to her primary care physician with a 3-month history of intermittent bright red rectal blood with defecation. At her initial visit, a digital rectal examination, anoscopy, and a pelvic examination with DNA testing for high-risk HPV were performed; all results were negative. She was referred for a colonoscopy, which revealed an abnormal area with a 3 × 4–cm mass in the rectum at a distance of 10 cm from the anal verge.

Fear of Cancer Recurrence: A Practical Guide for Clinicians

With increasing cancer survival, fear of cancer recurrence (FCR) is becoming a prominent clinical issue. FCR is prevalent, distressing, and long-lasting, and can negatively impact patients’ quality of life, use of health services, and adherence to follow-up recommendations. Novel targeted therapies may increase risk of FCR because of longer treatment duration and follow-up, increased prognostic precision, and omission of treatment based on genomic status.
