Follicular Lymphoma (Ongoing)

Given our evolving understanding of the pathogenesis and genetic heterogeneity underlying follicular lymphoma, we feel it is important to dedicate a special issue addressing the important topics. Particularly in the current era of a novel targeted agents and novel immunotherapy approaches that are in develop, it is critical that the general oncologist understand the current concepts related to the tumor microenvironment and emerging biomarkers such as measures of minimal residual disease.

Annals of Lymphoma forms partnership with lymphoma research foundation

In 2011, the U.S. Congress declared the month of September to be Blood Cancer Awareness Month. The designation was intended to bring much-deserved attention to the needs of patients and for increased investment in biomedical research. Since that time, more than a half million Americans have received a lymphoma or chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) diagnosis. And despite numerous programs intended to accelerate the pace of cancer research, the need for new resources to support blood cancer research has never been greater.

Welcome to Annals of Lymphoma

During my formative years, a textbook of hematology would contain a single, rather brief, chapter on lymphomas. Within the pages would be clinical and pathologic descriptions in broad terms relating to a limited number of recognized histologic subtypes. As our knowledge increased, the chapters were separated into Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin, and then the latter into B- and T-cell. Treatment strategies from that period relied heavily on radiation therapy, but eventually active systemic treatment was available, although founded on those derivatives of mustard gas, the alkylating agents, as well as corticosteroids, and a series of other non-specific cytotoxic drugs. Means to assess response were rudimentary and variable, including radiographs, lymphangiograms and ultrasounds. It was totally unclear why some patients with a similar histologic morphology would be cured, whereas others were resistant to similar treatments. In this context, the glacial speed of journal publications was sufficient.
