Abstract
Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is a diffuse large B cell lymphoma in which the brain, spinal cord, leptomeninges and/or eyes are exclusive sites of disease. Pathophysiology is incompletely understood, although a central role seems to comprise immunoglobulins binding to self-proteins expressed in the central nervous system (CNS) and alterations of genes involved in B cell receptor, Toll-like receptor and NF-κB signalling. Other factors such as T cells, macrophages or microglia, endothelial cells, chemokines, and interleukins, probably also have important roles. Clinical presentation varies depending on the involved regions of the CNS. Standard of care includes methotrexate-based polychemotherapy followed by age-tailored thiotepa-based conditioned autologous stem cell transplantation and, in patients unsuitable for such treatment, consolidation with whole-brain radiotherapy or single-drug maintenance. Personalized treatment, primary radiotherapy and only supportive care should be considered in unfit, frail patients. Despite available treatments, 15-25% of patients do not respond to chemotherapy and 25-50% relapse after initial response. Relapse rates are higher in older patients, although the prognosis of patients experiencing relapse is poor independent of age. Further research is needed to identify diagnostic biomarkers, treatments with higher efficacy and less neurotoxicity, strategies to improve the penetration of drugs into the CNS, and roles of other therapies such as immunotherapies and adoptive cell therapies.

Abstract
AbstractThe use of cytotoxic chemotherapy in the treatment of malignant and inflammatory disorders is beset by considerable adverse effects related to nonspecific cytotoxicity. Accordingly, a mechanistic approach to therapeutics has evolved in recent times with small molecular inhibitors of intracellular signaling pathways involved in disease pathogenesis being developed for clinical use, some with unparalleled efficacy and tolerability. Nevertheless, there are emerging concerns regarding an association with certain small molecular inhibitors and opportunistic infections, including invasive fungal diseases. This is perhaps unsurprising, given that the molecular targets of such agents play fundamental and multifaceted roles in orchestrating innate and adaptive immune responses. Nevertheless, some small molecular inhibitors appear to possess intrinsic antifungal activity and may therefore represent novel therapeutic options in future. This is particularly important given that antifungal resistance is a significant, emerging concern. This paper is a comprehensive review of the state-of-the-art in the molecular immunology to fungal pathogens as applied to existing and emerging small molecular inhibitors.

Abstract
Mantle cell lymphoma is an aggressive Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that is considered incurable with standard therapies. Most patients treated with frontline immunochemotherapy relapse within a few years and do not usually respond to salvage chemotherapy. Persistent activation of the B-cell receptor pathway is critical to the pathogenesis of mantle cell lymphoma. Inhibition of Bruton's tyrosine kinase, an essential B-cell receptor pathway component with ibrutinib has shown clinical activity and has changed how MCL is treated in the relapsed/refractory setting. However, resistance to ibrutinib is common and response is limited. Novel agents targeting the B-cell receptor pathway along with therapies outside of the pathway will be reviewed in this article. Ongoing and future studies will better define how these agents should be utilized in the ever-changing treatment landscape of mantle cell lymphoma.
