High-Throughput immunogenetics for precision medicine in cancer

Andreas Agathangelidis et al.

Summary: Precision medicine aims to overcome the complexity of cancer through integrating information from different 'subsystems'. Immunogenetics, facilitated by high-throughput approaches, enables a comprehensive understanding of the immune repertoire and improves clinical decision making. This article highlights the clinical utility of immunogenetic analysis in lymphoid malignancies, including diagnosis, disease monitoring, and its potential for immunotherapy.

Immunotherapeutic Strategies in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia: Advances and Challenges

Francesca Perutelli et al.

Summary: Immune-based therapeutic strategies have revolutionized the treatment of hematological disorders by enhancing the immune response against tumor cells. However, individual use of immunotherapy has not shown optimal results in terms of disease control due to CLL-related immune dysfunctions. The understanding of the interactions between immune cells and tumor cells has led to the development of novel combination approaches that hold promise for future treatment of CLL.

Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia/Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma, Version 3.2022 Featured Updates to the NCCN Guidelines

William G. Wierda et al.

Summary: The treatment landscape of chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL) has evolved significantly in recent years, with BTK inhibitors and BCL-2 inhibitors emerging as effective chemotherapy-free options. Undetectable minimal residual disease after treatment is becoming an important predictor of progression-free and overall survival for patients receiving BCL-2 inhibitor-based treatment. This study discusses the updates to the NCCN Guidelines for CLL/SLL, specifically focusing on the use of chemotherapy-free treatment options for both treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory disease.

Exploiting B-cell Receptor Stereotypy to Design Tailored Immunotherapy in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

Alessandra Rovida et al.

Summary: The consensus VH CDR3 sequences from CLL stereotyped subsets can be used for immunotherapy approaches, generating specific T cells that can control leukemia development and increase overall survival. Vaccination against defined VH CDR3 peptide epitopes has shown efficacy in controlling CLL development in mice, highlighting the potential of this approach for novel cancer vaccines.

T Cells in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia: A Two-Edged Sword

Elisavet Vlachonikola et al.

Summary: Chronic lymphocytic leukemia remains incurable despite recent progress in management, highlighting the importance of further investigating the underlying pathophysiology. The interactions between malignant CLL cells and the tumor microenvironment play a crucial role in disease progression, with T cell abnormalities and potential therapeutic targets being a key focus in enhancing targeted cytotoxic activity against the malignant clone.

T Cell Defects and Immunotherapy in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

Elisavet Vlachonikola et al.

Summary: The treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is continuously evolving, with immunotherapy emerging as a therapeutic option to boost immune responses against tumors. However, not all patients benefit from this approach, partly due to dysfunctional T cells in CLL. The tumor microenvironment (TME) is also crucial in impacting immune responses and tumor growth, highlighting the importance of understanding T cell defects and finding ways to overcome them for effective immunotherapy in CLL.

CD4+ T cells sustain aggressive chronic lymphocytic leukemia in Eμ-TCL1 mice through a CD40L-independent mechanism

Matteo Grioni et al.

Summary: The presence of CD4(+) T cells is essential for the development of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), while CD8(+) T cells have an antitumor effect in restraining CLL progression. Antigen specificity of CD4(+) T cells has marginal impact on CLL development.
