Direct-Acting Antivirals as Primary Treatment for Hepatitis C Virus-Associated Indolent Non-Hodgkin Lymphomas: The BArT Study of the Fondazione Italiana Linfomi

Michele Merli et al.

Summary: This prospective study evaluated the use of genotype-appropriate DAAs in HCV-positive patients with indolent lymphomas, achieving a 100% sustained virologic response rate and a non-negligible rate of lymphoma responses. Treatment with DAAs should be considered as the first-line therapy in this setting.

A three-gene signature based on MYC, BCL-2 and NFKBIA improves risk stratification in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma

Enrico Derenzini et al.

Summary: This study identified a three-gene signature (MBN-signature) based on MYC, BCL-2, and NFKBIA, which refined prognostic stratification in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. The high-risk (MBN Sig-high) subgroup identified most double hit cases and a portion of activated B-cell-derived diffuse large B-cell lymphomas. These results were validated in three independent series, showing potential for future precision-therapy approaches.

Simplified Geriatric Assessment in Older Patients With Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma: The Prospective Elderly Project of the Fondazione Italiana Linfomi

Francesco Merli et al.

Summary: The study prospectively validated the use of a simplified geriatric assessment (sGA) for older patients with DLBCL and developed a new Elderly Prognostic Index (EPI) based on the sGA groups, International Prognostic Index, and hemoglobin levels to predict overall survival.
