Abstract
Surgical biopsy is the gold standard for diagnosing central nervous system (CNS) lymphomas. However, reliable liquid biopsy methods for diagnosing CNS lymphomas have quickly developed and have been implicated in clinical decision-making. In the current report, we introduce two patients for whom liquid biopsy was essential for diagnosing CNS lymphomas and discuss the rapidly growing applications of this technology.

Abstract
Triplet regimen comprising proteasome inhibitors, immunomodulatory drugs, and dexamethasone (DEX) is a recommended induction/consolidation therapy for multiple myeloma (MM) patients eligible for transplant. In this Japanese phase II study conducted from 2017 to 2019, newly diagnosed MM patients aged 20-65 received four induction cycles with bortezomib (Bor), lenalidomide (Len), and DEX (VRD), followed by Bor and high-dose melphalan with autologous stem cell rescue. Subsequently, they underwent four consolidation cycles with carfilzomib, Len, and DEX (KRD), followed by Len maintenance until disease progression. A total of 141 patients were analyzed. In an intent-to-treat population, the complete or better response post induction was 19.9%, rising to 39.7%, 58.9%, and 62.4% after transplant, consolidation, and 1-year maintenance, respectively. With a median follow-up of 38 months, the 3-year progression-free survival (PFS) rate was 83.5% and the 3-year overall survival rate was 92.5%. Severe adverse events (≥grade 3) occurred in ~30% of patients; however, there was no treatment-related mortality. These findings clearly showed the tolerability and effectiveness of this protocol. Nevertheless, patients with high-risk cytogenetics showed a trend toward lower 3-year PFS than those without (77.8% vs. 89.4%, p = 0.051), and ultra-high-risk cytogenetics (≥2 high-risk cytogenetics) had an even worse prognosis, with 61.2% 3-year PFS. To overcome this situation, a more potent treatment strategy incorporating novel agents such as the CD38-antibody should be assessed in future studies.

Abstract
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is rare in Japan. We conducted the nationwide, prospective observational study CLLRSG-01 to clarify the current state of CLL in Japan and to make accurate international comparisons by preparing naturally air-dried smears like those used in other countries. Of the 201 untreated patients enrolled and evaluated, 119 were diagnosed with CLL and 82 with non-CLL mature B-cell neoplasms, based on the WHO classification. Of the 119 CLL patients, 90 were classified as typical and 29 as atypical according to FAB classification morphology, with the proportion of atypical CLL consistent with reports from other countries. Immunophenotypic analyses by flow cytometry showed that 55% of Japanese CLL patients had a Matutes score of 4 or higher, which is lower than the rate of about 90% in Europeans. Mutated IGHV was identified in 80% of Japanese CLL patients, which is a higher rate than in Western patients. The most frequent IGHV gene was VH3-30 (15%), followed by VH3-23 (12%) and VH4-34 (10%). VH1-69, the most common gene in Western countries, was identified in only one patient. These results indicate that the pattern of immunophenotypes and IGHV gene usage in Japanese CLL patients differs from that in Western patients.

Abstract
AIM Peripheral T-cell lymphoma not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS) is a heterogeneous disease that can be classified into the PTCL-TBX21 and PTCL-GATA3 subtypes. METHODS In this study, we compared the clinicopathological features of PTCL-NOS in a Japanese cohort, classified using an IHC algorithm. RESULTS One hundred patients with PTCL-NOS were categorized as having PTCL-TBX21 (n = 55), PTCL-GATA3 (n = 24), or PTCL-unclassified (n = 21). When comparing PTCL-TBX21 and PTCL-GATA3, PTCL-TBX21 showed significantly lower CD4 positivity (p = 0.047), lower counts of high endothelial venules (p = 0.032), and a tendency for a better response to initial treatment (p = 0.088). Gene expression analysis using the nCounter system showed higher expression of tumor immunity-related genes, such as PD-L1, LAG3, and IDO1, in PTCL-TBX21 than in PTCL-GATA3. PTCL-GATA3 had significantly worse overall survival (OS) than those with PTCL-TBX21 (p = 0.047), although a similar tendency was observed for progression-free survival (PFS) (p = 0.064). PTCL-GATA3 was a prognostic factor for OS in univariate analysis (HR 2.02; 95% CI, 1.09-3.77; p = 0.027), although multivariate analysis did not show significance (HR 2.07; 95% CI, 0.93-4.61; p = 0.074). In the PFS analysis, PTCL-GATA3 was an independent prognostic factor by univariate analysis (HR 1.96; 95% CI, 1.08-3.56; p = 0.027) and multivariate analysis (HR 2.34; 95% CI, 1.07-5.11; p = 0.032). CONCLUSION The classification of PTCL-NOS into PTCL-TBX21 and PTCL-GATA3 is useful for predicting the prognosis of Japanese patients and stratifying the administration of tumor immune checkpoint inhibitors in clinical practice.

Abstract
Radiation therapy is one of the major treatment modalities for patients with cancers. However, ionizing radiation (IR) damages not only cancer cells but also the surrounding vascular endothelial cells (ECs). Hippo pathway effector genes Yap1 and Taz are the two transcriptional coactivators that have crucial roles in tissue homeostasis and vascular integrity in various organs. However, their function in adult ECs at the steady state and after IR is poorly understood. Here, we report sex- and context-dependent roles of endothelial YAP1/TAZ in maintaining vascular integrity and organismal survival. EC-specific Yap1/Taz deletion compromised systemic vascular integrity, resulting in lethal circulation failure preferentially in male mice. Furthermore, EC-specific Yap1/Taz deletion induced acute lethality upon sublethal IR that was closely associated with exacerbated systemic vascular dysfunction and circulation failure. Consistent with these findings, RNA-seq analysis revealed downregulation of tight junction genes in Yap1/Taz-deleted ECs. Collectively, our findings highlight the importance of endothelial YAP1/TAZ for maintaining adult vascular function, which may provide clinical implications for preventing organ injury after radiation therapy.

Abstract
To elucidate the long-term outcomes of non-anthracycline-containing therapies and central nervous system (CNS) events in patients with extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type (ENKTL), the clinical data of 313 patients with ENKTL diagnosed between 2000 and 2013 in a nationwide retrospective study in Japan were updated and analyzed. At a median follow-up of 8.4 years, the 5-year overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were 71% and 64%, respectively, in 140 localized ENKTL patients who received radiotherapy and dexamethasone, etoposide, ifosfamide, and carboplatin (RT-DeVIC) in clinical practice. Nine (6.4%) patients experienced second malignancies. In 155 localized ENKTL patients treated with RT-DeVIC, 10 (6.5%) experienced CNS relapse (median, 12.8 months after diagnosis). In 5 of them, the events were confined to the CNS. Nine of the 10 patients who experienced CNS relapse died within 1 year after CNS relapse. Multivariate analysis identified gingival (HR, 54.35; 95% CI, 8.60-343.35) and paranasal involvement (HR, 7.42; 95% CI, 1.78-30.89) as independent risk factors for CNS relapse. In 80 advanced ENKTL patients, 18 received dexamethasone, methotrexate, ifosfamide, L-asparaginase, and etoposide (SMILE) chemotherapy as first-line treatment. Patients who received SMILE as their first-line treatment tended to have better OS than those who did not (P = 0.071). Six (7.5%) advanced ENKTL patients experienced isolated CNS relapse (median, 2.6 months after diagnosis) and died within 4 months of relapse. No second malignancies were documented in advanced ENKTL patients. In the entire cohort, the median OS after first relapse or progression was 4.6 months. Twelve patients who survived 5 years after PFS events were disease-free at the last follow-up. Of those, 11 (92%) underwent hematopoietic SCT. Our 8-year follow-up revealed the long-term efficacy and safety of RT-DeVIC and SMILE. The risk of CNS relapse is an important consideration in advanced ENKTL. This article is protected by copyright.

Abstract
A 68-year-old male patient with lung adenocarcinoma, who was treated with chemotherapy and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), developed lymphadenopathy during treatment. His para-aortic lymph nodes increased to 2.0 cm in diameter. Both inguinal lymph nodes were 1.5 cm in diameter, and multiple hepatic masses appeared. After the ICI readministration, both inguinal lymph nodes increased to 2.0 cm in diameter, but the para-aortic lymph nodes and hepatic masses remained. Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) diagnosis was established after the right inguinal lymph node biopsy, which was accompanied by an infiltration of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-encoded small ribonucleic acid-positive B-cells. After the ICI discontinuation, the inguinal lymph nodes decreased to 1.5 cm in diameter, but the para-aortic lymph nodes remained, and hepatic masses increased. Hepatic lesions were possibly lung cancer metastasis. The ICI administration and EBV reactivation were potentially associated with AITL development in the present case. The natural shrinkage of lymphoma after the ICI cessation implied the immunological mechanism like that of the methotrexate-related lymphoproliferative disease.

Abstract
There are limited real-world data on the treatment practices and healthcare resource utilization associated with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) in Japan. In this study (CLIMBER-DBR), we performed retrospective analyses of the Japanese Medical Data Vision database, and extracted data for 2562 patients with newly diagnosed CLL (CLL-1 cohort) and 930 patients receiving CLL treatment (CLL-2 cohort) registered between March 1, 2013 and February 28, 2018. The median follow-up in the CLL-1 cohort was 721 (quartile 1-3: 363-1267) days and the median time to initial (first-line) treatment was 1331 (quartile 1-3: 189-not reached) days. In the CLL-2 cohort, the most frequently used regimens were fludarabine alone (17.7%), cyclophosphamide alone (13.7%), and bendamustine/rituximab (8.2%). The median (quartile 1-3) times to second-line and third-line treatments were 1066 (273-not reached) and 1795 (631-not reached) days, respectively. The CLIMBER-DBR was the first database research study to assess current treatment practices for CLL in Japan, where the treatment patterns were driven by the approval/reimbursement status of drugs in the study period. Our study provides an important benchmark for future studies of CLL in Japan.

Abstract
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) accounts for approximately 3% of all cases of malignant
lymphoma in Japan. The CLIMBER-DBR (Treatment practices and patient burden in chronic
lymphocytic leukemia and mantle cell lymphoma patients in the real world: An observational
database research in Japan) study examined the clinical characteristics, treatment
patterns, and healthcare resource utilization of MCL in a real-world clinical setting in
Japan. Using the Japanese Medical Data Vision database, we extracted data for 1130
patients with MCL (ICD-10 code C83.1) registered between March 1, 2013 and February 28,
2018. The date of first MCL diagnosis was taken as the index date. The mean (standard
deviation) age, body weight, and modified Charlson Comorbidity Index were 71.4 (10.9)
years, 58.3 (11.7) kg, and 1.9 (1.6), respectively, and 24.6% were ≤65 years old. The
median follow-up period was 654 days (first–third quartile 290.5–1049 days). A total of
802 patients (71.0%) underwent first-line treatment. The most common first-line treatment
was bendamustine/rituximab (BR; 27.8%), followed by
rituximab/cyclophosphamide/doxorubicin/vincristine/prednisolone (R-CHOP; 15.6%) and
rituximab/tetrahydropyranyl-adriamycin/cyclophosphamide/vincristine/prednisolone
(R-THP-COP; 6.5%). The median (95% confidence interval) times to initial (first-line),
second-line, and third-line treatments were 45 (36–62), 687 (624–734), and 1188
(1099–1444) days, respectively. Treatment practices for MCL in Japan are consistent with
trends observed in Western countries. Our study can serve as a benchmark to assess future
MCL treatments in Japan.

Abstract
Polatuzumab vedotin (pola) is a CD79b‐targeted antibody‐drug conjugate delivering a potent antimitotic agent (monomethyl auristatin E) to B cells. This was an open‐label, single‐arm study of pola 1.8 mg/kg, bendamustine 90 mg/m2, rituximab 375 mg/m2 (pola + BR) Q3W for up to six cycles in patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) diffuse large B‐cell lymphoma (DLBCL) who received ≥1 prior line of therapy and were ineligible for autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) or experienced treatment failure with prior ASCT. Primary endpoint was complete response rate (CRR) at the end of the treatment (EOT) by positron emission tomography–computed tomography (PET‐CT) using modified Lugano Response Criteria. Secondary endpoints included efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics. Thirty‐five patients (median age 71 [range 46‐86] years) were enrolled. Twenty‐three (66%) patients had refractory disease, and 23 (66%) had ≥2 prior lines of therapy. At a median follow‐up of 5.4 (0.7‐11.9) months, patients received a median of five treatment cycles. CRR was 34.3% (95% confidence interval [CI] 19.1‐52.2) at EOT. Overall response rate was 42.9% at EOT, and median progression‐free survival was 5.2 months (95% CI 3.6‐not evaluable). Median overall survival was not reached. No fatal adverse events (AEs) were observed. Grade 3‐4 AEs were mainly hematological: anemia (37%), neutropenia (31%), white blood cell count decreased (23%), thrombocytopenia/platelet count decreased/neutrophil count decreased (20% each), and febrile neutropenia (11%). Grade 1‐2 peripheral neuropathy (PN; sensory and/or motor) was reported in 14% of patients; there were no ≥grade 3 PN events. This study (JapicCTI‐184048) demonstrated the efficacy and safety of pola + BR in Japanese patients with R/R DLBCL who were ineligible for ASCT.

Abstract
Objective Fludarabine, cyclophosphamide and rituximab (FCR) is the standard regimen for fit patients with untreated CD20-positive chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). However, this combination is unavailable in Japan because rituximab is not approved for CLL. We investigated the efficacy and safety of FCR in this single-arm, multicenter study designed as a bridging study to the CLL8 study by the German CLL Study Group. Methods The study enrolled previously untreated patients with CLL of Binet stage B or C with active disease. Patients with a Cumulative Illness Rating Scale score of ≤6 and creatinine clearance of ≥70 ml/min were eligible. Patients received 6 cycles of FCR every 28 days and were followed for up to 1 year. Results Seven patients were enrolled. The best overall response rate according to the 1996 NCI-WG Guidelines, the primary endpoint of the study, was 71.4% (95% confidence interval, 29.0–96.3%), with one patient achieving complete response. No deaths or progression occurred during follow-up. The main adverse event was hematotoxicity. CD4-positive T-cell count decreased in all patients; most patients showed no reduction in serum immunoglobulin G. Conclusion Although the number of patients was limited, FCR appears to be effective with manageable toxicity for treatment-naïve fit Japanese patients with CD20-positive CLL. Clinical trial number JapicCTI-132285.

Abstract
High-grade B-cell lymphoma with MYC and BCL2 and/or BCL6 rearrangements, also known as double-hit lymphoma, has been reported as refractory to R-CHOP therapy and requires more intensive regimens. However, intensive and safe regimens for patients with renal dysfunction are unknown. Herein, we report the successful use of DA-EPOCH-R therapy for double-hit lymphoma in a 64-year-old man with renal dysfunction. The patient had lymphoma-induced bilateral ureteral obstruction. Although renal dysfunction remained after removing the obstruction using R-CHOP therapy, we completed six cycles of DA-EPOCH-R therapy without any major adverse events. DA-EPOCH-R therapy may be a safe regimen for renal dysfunction patients.

Abstract
Bendamustine and rituximab (BR) are widely used in patients with follicular lymphoma (FL) previously treated with conventional immunochemotherapy, but the role of consolidation radioimmunotherapy in these patients is unknown. This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of consolidation with 90 Yttrium-ibritumomab tiuxetan (90 Y-IT) after re-induction therapy with BR in patients with previously treated FL. This study included adult patients with relapsed FL who had undergone one or two prior therapies. Re-induction therapy with BR was administered every 4 weeks up to 4-6 cycles. If patients achieved at least partial response, 90 Y-IT was administered as consolidation therapy. The primary endpoint was 2-year progression-free survival (PFS) after consolidation. A total of 24 FL patients (median age 60 years) who had undergone one (n = 17) or two (n = 7) prior treatments received BR. After BR therapy, 22 patients proceeded to consolidation with 90 Y-IT, resulting in an overall 88% response rate to the protocol treatment. Within a median observation period of 46.8 months, the estimated 2-year PFS rate after the consolidation among the 22 patients receiving 90 Y-IT was 59% (95% confidence interval [CI], 38%-77%). Patients whose remission after previous treatment had lasted ≥2 years had a significantly higher 2-year PFS rate than patients whose remission after previous treatment had been <2 years (68% vs. 33%, Wilcoxon p = 0.0211). Major adverse events during the protocol treatment and within 2 years after the consolidation were hematological toxicities, but they were generally acceptable. Consequently, the estimated 2-year overall survival after the consolidation was 95% (95% CI, 74%-99%). In conclusion, in a subset of patients with previously treated FL, 90 Y-IT consolidation after BR re-induction conferred a durable remission, indicating that consolidation therapy using 90 Y-IT may be a novel therapeutic option for patients with relapsed FL (UMIN000008793).

Abstract
The interaction between CD47 and signal‐regulatory protein‐α (SIRPα) inhibits phagocytosis, thus affecting the clinical outcomes of neoplastic diseases. Although CD47 upregulation is associated with poor prognosis in several malignancies, the effect of SIRPα expression and its coexpression with CD47 remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the clinicopathologic effect of CD47 and SIRPα expression in diffuse large B‐cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Immunostaining of 120 biopsy samples showed that CD47 is primarily expressed in tumor cells, whereas SIRPα is expressed in nonneoplastic stromal cells, mostly macrophages. CD47high cases showed higher MYC protein expression and lower MYC translocation. The SIRPαhigh cases presented significantly shorter overall survival (OS) and progression‐free survival (PFS) than SIRPαlow cases in the activated B‐cell (ABC) subtype of DLBCL (P = .04 and P = .02, respectively). Both CD47high and SIRPαhigh presented significantly shorter OS and PFS than other cases among all DLBCL patients (P = .01 and P = .004, respectively), and the ABC type (P = .04 and P = .008, respectively) but not the germinal center B‐cell type. Both CD47high and SIRPαhigh yielded a constant independent prognostic value for OS and PFS in multivariate analysis (hazard ratio [HR], 2.93; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.20‐7.43; P = .02; and HR, 2.87; 95% CI, 1.42‐5.85; P = .003, respectively). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to report that combinatorial CD47 and SIRPα expression is a potential independent prognostic factor for DLBCL. Evaluation of CD47 and SIRPα expression could be useful before CD47 blockade therapy.

Abstract
Advances in the molecular biology of chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL) and development of molecularly targeted therapies have resulted in treatment innovations. Therapeutic approaches for previously untreated CLL/SLL patients are changing from chemoimmunotherapy (CIT) to molecularly targeted drugs. The aim of therapy for CLL patients has been to control the disease; however, FCR (fludarabine, cyclophosphamide, rituximab) has improved outcomes and reduced the high incidence of undetectable minimum/measurable residual disease (MRD) in previously untreated CLL patients with no 17p deletion/TP53 disruption and mutated immunoglobulin heavy chain gene (IGHV). Patients achieving undetectable MRD in the bone marrow are expected to be cured. BTK inhibitors and BCL-2 inhibitors are effective for CLL/SLL patients. However, atrial fibrillation and bleeding are associated with the BTK inhibitor, ibrutinib, while tumor lysis syndrome is an adverse event (AE) of the BCL-2 inhibitor, venetoclax. Although these novel targeted drugs are very useful, they are also expensive. Emergence of resistant clones of CLL cells must also be addressed. Therefore, treatments of indefinite duration until progression have been replaced by fixed-duration treatments. This review introduces advances in the treatment of previously untreated CLL/SLL patients in Europe and the United States.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intravascular large B-cell lymphoma (IVLBCL) is a rare disease for which there is no available standard treatment. We aimed to ascertain the safety and activity of R-CHOP (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisolone) with high-dose methotrexate and intrathecal chemotherapy as CNS-oriented therapy for patients with previously untreated IVLBCL. METHODS PRIMEUR-IVL is a multicentre, single-arm, phase 2 trial at 22 hospitals in Japan. Eligible patients had untreated histologically confirmed IVLBCL, were aged 20-79 years, had an Eastern Cooperative Group performance status of 0-3, and had no apparent CNS involvement at diagnosis. Patients received three cycles of R-CHOP (rituximab 375 mg/m2 intravenously on day 1 [except cycle one, which was on day 8]; cyclophosphamide 750 mg/m2, doxorubicin 50 mg/m2, and vincristine 1·4 mg/m2 [maximum 2·0 mg] intravenously on day 1 of cycle one and day 2 of cycles two and three; and prednisolone 100 mg/day orally on days 1-5 of cycle one and days 2-6 of cycles two and three) followed by two cycles of rituximab with high-dose methotrexate (3·5 g/m2 intravenously on day 2 of cycles four and five) every 2 weeks and three additional cycles of R-CHOP. Intrathecal chemotherapy (methotrexate 15 mg, cytarabine 40 mg, and prednisolone 10 mg) was administered four times during the R-CHOP phase. The primary endpoint was 2-year progression-free survival. Efficacy analyses were done in all enrolled patients; safety analyses were done in all enrolled and treated patients. The trial is registered in the UMIN Clinical Trials Registry (UMIN000005707) and the Japan Registry of Clinical Trials (jRCTs041180165); the trial is ongoing for long-term follow-up. FINDINGS Between June 16, 2011, and July 21, 2016, 38 patients were enrolled, of whom 37 were eligible; one patient was excluded because of a history of testicular lymphoma. Median follow-up was 3·9 years (IQR 2·5-5·5). 2-year progression-free survival was 76% (95% CI 58-87). The most frequent adverse events of grade 3-4 were neutropenia and leucocytopenia, which were reported in all 38 (100%) patients. Serious adverse events were hypokalaemia, febrile neutropenia with hypotension, hypertension, and intracerebral haemorrhage (reported in one [3%] patient each). No treatment-related deaths occurred during protocol treatment. INTERPRETATION R-CHOP combined with rituximab and high-dose methotrexate plus intrathecal chemotherapy is a safe and active treatment for patients with IVLBCL without apparent CNS involvement at diagnosis, and this regimen warrants future investigation.

Abstract
Primary splenic low-grade B-cell lymphoma of the red pulp comprises hairy cell leukemia (HCL) and splenic B-cell lymphoma/leukemia, unclassifiable (SPLL-U). SPLL-U is a rare disease that includes subtypes of a hairy cell leukemia-variant (HCL-v), splenic diffuse red pulp small B-cell lymphoma (SDRPL) and other types that are known as narrow sense SPLL-U (SPLL-U-NS). Notably, limited information is available regarding the BRAF mutation (V600E) and cyclin D3 expression in subtypes of SPLL-U. Therefore, we performed a pathological analysis of the BRAF mutation (V600E) and characterized pathological features of SPLL-U. We reviewed the pathological findings of 12 SPLL-U cases. The 12 cases considered included two cases of HCL-v, six cases of SPLL-U-NS and four undetermined cases. The BRAF mutation (V600E) was detected in three cases, which were all SPLL-U-NS. Cases with the BRAF mutation (V600E) have increased levels of CD103 expression and decreased cyclin D3 and cyclin D1 expression compared with cases that lacked the BRAF mutation. These findings suggest that the BRAF mutation might play a significant role in SPLL-U. Therefore, the significance of the BRAF mutation should be evaluated via genomic or transcriptional analyses of a large cohort of SPLL-U patients.

Abstract
Objective This study aimed to examine the natural course and relapse rate of IgG4-related ophthalmic disease (IgG4-ROD) after debulking surgery in Japanese patients. Methods and analysis This retrospective review included patients with IgG4-ROD who did not undergo further treatment following debulking surgery. The patients were diagnosed between January 2009 and December 2018 at the Department of Ophthalmology and Pathology, Niigata University Medical and Dental Hospital. The main outcome measures included postoperative IgG4-ROD recurrence rate and differences between patients with and without recurrent disease. Results Fifteen patients (six male, 9 female; 61.8±16.2 years) were included. Twelve patients (80.0%) had dacryoadenitis disease and three patients (20.0%) had orbital fat tissue disease. About 70%-100% of the lesion was resected in the debulking surgery and the pathological diagnosis was rendered. A definitive diagnosis was made in 13 cases (86.7%) and a probable diagnosis in 2 cases (13.3%). Patients were followed up for 39.0±25.5 months following operation. All patients had lesion volume reduction and patients with dacryoadenitis had eyelid swelling improvement after surgery. Two patients (13.3%) had disease recurrence and six patients (40.0%) had extraophthalmic lesions. There was no statistically significant difference in clinical features between relapsed and non-recurring cases. Conclusion We observed a 13.3% relapse rate following debulking surgery in patients with IgG4-ROD who did not undergo further treatment. This rate is lower than the documented relapse rate of 30%-70% following oral prednisolone therapy. Therefore, debulking surgery may be a treatment option for IgG4-ROD.

Abstract
The IgG-type neutralizing GM-CSF autoantibody (GMAb) is known to be the causative agent for autoimmune pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (APAP). Previous studies report that serum levels of IgG-GMAb are approximately 50-fold higher in APAP patients than in healthy subjects (HS). Serum levels of IgM-GMAb are also higher in APAP patients than in HS, but this has been assumed to be an etiological bystander. However, the mechanism for the excessive production of IgG-GMAb in APAP remains unclear. To investigate this, we detected putative GMAb-producing B cells (PGMPB) by inoculated B cells from the peripheral blood of APAP patients, HS, and umbilical cord blood mononuclear cells (UCBMNs) with Epstein-Barr virus. Both ELISA and ELISPOT assays showed that IgM-type GMAb was consistently and frequently present in all three groups, whereas IgG-type GMAb was high only in APAP patients, in whom it was exclusively produced in memory B cells and not in naive B cells. Since PGMPB in UCBMNs produced IgM-GMAb, but not IgG-GMAb, to the same extent as in HS and APAP patients, most IgM-GMAb reacted with GM-CSF in a non-specific manner. The memory B cell pool of APAP patients contain higher frequency of PGMPB than that of healthy subjects.

Abstract
Extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma (NKTCL), nasal type (ENKL) that shows no apparent nasal involvement, is termed extranasal NKTCL or non-nasal NKTCL. In this study, we aimed to explore therapeutic approaches and outcomes in patients with extranasal NKTCL in current clinical practice. A data set of patients with newly diagnosed NKTCL who were diagnosed at 31 institutes in Japan between 2000 and 2013 was used for analysis. The patients' fitness for steroid, methotrexate, ifosfamide, L-asparaginase, and etoposide (SMILE) chemotherapy was assessed using the major inclusion criteria of the SMILE phase 2 study. Of 358 patients, 47 (13%) had extranasal NKTCL. The most frequent extranodal sites of involvement in extranasal NKTCL were skin/subcutaneous tissue (n = 18). Six (13%) of the patients with extranasal NKTCL had localized disease and were diagnosed before 2010. With a median follow-up of 5.8 years, the 2-year overall survival (OS) in patients with nasal and extranasal NKTCL was 70% (95% confidence interval [CI], 65-75%) and 34% (95% CI, 21-47%), respectively. OS in patients with nasal NKTCL had a trend toward better according to treatment era (P = 0.063). In contrast, no obvious improvement of OS was observed in extranasal NKTCL (P = 0.43). The major inclusion criteria of the SMILE-P2 were met in 21% (10/47) of patients with extranasal NKTCL and 60% (188/311) of those with nasal NKTCL (P < 0.001). Despite the advent of new treatments for ENKL, OS remains unfavorable in extranasal NKTCL. A more effective therapy is needed for extranasal NKTCL.

Abstract
Hypercalcemia due to malignant tumors including malignant lymphomas is relatively common. Among cancer patients with hypercalcemia, humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy is the most common and accounts for about 80% of all cases with hypercalcemia. 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3(1,25(OH)2D3)-mediated hypercalcemia is relatively rare. Although malignant lymphoma has been also reported to cause 1,25(OH)2D3-mediated hypercalcemia, it is not known whether there is any association between 1,25(OH)2D3-mediated hypercalcemia and any specific histological type of malignant lymphoma. We herein report a case of an anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL), anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) -negative with 1,25(OH)2D3-mediated hypercalcemia, which has never been previously reported. An 80-year-old Japanese man was admitted to our department due to acute exacerbation of hypercalcemia. He was diagnosed with ALCL, ALK-negative. Serum 1,25(OH)2D3 level was high and seemed to be associated with the lymphoma because the serum calcium and 1,25(OH)2D3 levels improved in response to chemotherapy. Histological findings showed that many CD68 positive macrophages were observed in the microenvironment of tumor cells. Lymphoma cells or tumor microenvironmental cells may produce 1,25(OH)2D3 because several previous reports showed the source of 1,25(OH)2D3 can be either lymphoma or tumor microenvironmental cells. Moreover, because 1,25(OH)2D3-mediated hypercalcemia has been reported regardless of the specific histological type of lymphoma, tumor microenvironmental cells may be involved in this condition. However, we could not identify the source of 1,25(OH)2D3 in this case. The association between 1,25(OH)2D3 production and prognosis in malignant lymphomas is yet unknown; further studies are needed to elucidate the clinical characteristics of malignant lymphoma with 1,25(OH)2D3-mediated hypercalcemia.

Abstract
A 61-year-old woman exhibited right inguinal lymphadenopathy and right lower limb edema approximately 1 month prior to hospitalization. She was diagnosed with high grade B-cell lymphoma, and a lymph node biopsy and fluorescence in situ hybridization indicated MYC, BCL2, and BCL6 rearrangements (triple-hit lymphoma). She had progressive disease that was CD20-negative after two courses of rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, methotrexate/ifosfamide, etoposide, high-dose cytarabine (R-CODOX-M/IVAC) therapy. Subsequent etoposide, prednisolone, vincristine, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin (EPOCH) therapy was not effective. However, after two cycles of gemcitabine, dexamethasone, and cisplatin (GDP) therapy, she achieved a complete response and was able to undergo autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation. GDP therapy may be effective as salvage therapy for chemotherapy-resistant triple-hit lymphoma.

Abstract
Erdheim–Chester disease (ECD), a rare form of non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis, is
characterized by the infiltration of foamy CD68+ and CD1a-
histiocytes into multiple organ systems. Central nervous system (CNS) involvement has
recently been reported to be a poor prognostic factor when treating ECD with interferon
alpha. We report the case of a 66-year-old Japanese patient with ECD involving the CNS who
harbored the BRAF V600E mutation and also concomitantly developed
polycythemia vera with the JAK2 V617F mutation. We confirmed
2-chlorodeoxyadenosine (cladribine) therapy to be effective for the patient in this
case.

Abstract
Hairy cell leukemia (HCL) is a rare B-cell lymphoid malignancy that is difficult to distinguish from other morphological variants. The frequency of HCL has not been determined accurately in Japan. Recent studies revealed that the BRAF V600E mutation is the causal genetic event in HCL. We assessed the BRAF mutation in Japanese patients with HCL and related diseases using the quenching probe (QP) method, a single-nucleotide polymorphism detection system, and evaluated the incidence rate of HCL among Japanese patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and related diseases. We identified 18 cases (33.3%) harboring the BRAF mutation among 54 patients diagnosed with, or suspected of having HCL. Of BRAF V600E-positive patients, 7 were only detected using the QP method, not by direct sequencing, whereas 11 were positive using both tests. In a larger cohort of Japanese patients diagnosed with chronic lymphoid leukemia or related diseases, the frequency of HCL was 4%. Patients with the BRAF V600E mutation had a significantly higher frequency of neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, and elevated soluble interleukin-2 receptor and common B-cell surface markers than patients without the mutation. Our results confirm that BRAF V600E-positive HCL is a relatively rare disorder in the Japanese leukemia patient population.

Abstract
Myeloid sarcoma (MS) is a rare condition and is an extramedullary tumour of immature myeloid cells. It is now known that the programmed death 1 (PD-1)/programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) pathway suppresses the host antitumor responses and that these products are expressed on both tumour cells and tumour-infiltrating cells in various malignancies. However, little is known about the significance of PD-1/PD-L1 expression on tumour cells and tumour microenvironmental cells in MS. To investigate the clinicopathological significance of PD-1/PD-L1 expression in MS, we analyzed 98 patients by immunohistochemistry. Of these, 10.2% of cases had neoplastic tumour cells positive for PD-L1 (nPD-L1+ ). However, the rate of nPD-L1+ was <5% (range: 0.27 to 2.97%). On the other hand, PD-L1 expression on 1 or more of stromal cells in the tumour microenvironment (miPD-L1+ ) was observed in 37.8% of cases. Because all nPD-L1+ cases expressed PD-1 on less than 5% of tumour cells, we compared the miPD-L1+ and miPD-L1- groups. There was a correlation between miPD-L1+ status and the number of PD-1-expressing tumour -infiltrating lymphocytes (PD-1+ TILs; P = .0229). miPD-L1+ was found to be associated with poorer overall survival and progression-free survival (P = .00392, P = .00261, respectively). Multivariate analysis also confirmed miPD-L1+ to be an independent poor prognostic factor. In conclusion, our study indicated that the immunotherapy blocking the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway may improve the clinical outcome of MS.

Abstract
A 75-year-old woman suffered a cat bite 10 months after myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) diagnosis. She visited our hospital because the internal bleeding of the wound did not improve. Although the wound was treated, the bleeding did not stop. She was hospitalized for emergency medical treatment because the bleeding volume exceeded 200 ml. Although her platelet count was normal, the platelet function test showed a decrease in collagen and arachidonic acid aggregation. After platelet transfusion, her bleeding stopped. Patients with MDS may potentially have platelet dysfunction. In the case of bleeding without thrombocytopenia, a platelet function test should be performed and treatment intervention, such as platelet transfusion, should be considered.

Abstract
The characteristics of adult patients with chronic active Epstein-Barr virus infection are poorly recognized, hindering early diagnosis and an improved prognosis. We studied 54 patients with adult-onset chronic active Epstein-Barr virus infection diagnosed between 2005 and 2015. Adult onset was defined as an estimated age of onset of 15 years or older. To characterize the clinical features of these adults, we compared them to those of 75 pediatric cases (estimated age of onset <15 years). We compared the prognosis of adult-onset chronic active Epstein-Barr virus infection with that of patients with nasal-type (n=37) and non-nasal-type (n=45) extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma. The median estimated age of onset of these lymphomas was 39 years (range, 16–86 years). Compared to patients with pediatric-onset disease, those in whom the chronic active Epstein-Barr virus infection developed in adulthood had a significantly decreased incidence of fever (P=0.005), but greater frequency of skin lesions (P<0.001). Moreover, hypersensitivity to mosquito bites and the occurrence of hydroa vacciniforme were less frequent in patients with adult-onset disease (P<0.001 and P=0.0238, respectively). Thrombocytopenia, high Epstein-Barr virus nuclear antigen antibody titer, and the presence of hemophagocytic syndrome were associated with a poor prognosis (P=0.0087, P=0.0236, and P=0.0149, respectively). Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation may improve survival (P=0.0289). Compared to pediatric-onset chronic active Epstein-Barr virus infection and extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma, adult-onset chronic active Epstein-Barr virus infection had a poorer prognosis (P<0.001 and P=0.0484, respectively). Chronic active Epstein-Barr virus infection can develop in a wide age range, with clinical differences between adult-onset and pediatric-onset disease. Adult-onset chronic active Epstein-Barr virus infection is a disease with a poor prognosis. Further research will be needed.

Abstract
We retrospectively analyzed clinical and pathological features, treatments, and prognoses in 28 patients with newly diagnosed peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS) in Niigata University Medical and Dental Hospital. Of them, 16 were males and 12 were females, and their median age was 62.5 (range, 26-88) years. The International Prognostic Index was high-intermediate/high in 68% of patients. Twelve patients were treated with CHOP/THP-COP and nine with third-generation chemotherapy regimens. At a median follow-up period of 30 (range: 1-164) months, the 2-year overall survival and progression-free survival rates were 61% and 44%, respectively. Further investigation of novel agents for treating PTCL-NOS is warranted.

Abstract
RATIONALE Myeloid sarcoma (MS) and leukemia cutis (LC) are extramedullary tumors comprising myeloid blasts. They can occur de novo or concurrently with hematological disorders, usually acute myeloid leukemia (AML). AML chemotherapy is generally the initial therapy for MS and LC, and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) can be considered as additional therapy. However, treatment for older patients who are unable to continue intensive chemotherapy is not currently standardized. PATIENT CONCERNS A 71-year-old Japanese woman was diagnosed with multiple MSs associated with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), using bone marrow aspiration and lymph node biopsy. DIAGNOSES Additionally, LC was diagnosed by skin biopsy. Extramedullary MS and LC lesions were formed by massive infiltration of myeloblastic cells. INTERVENTIONS Twenty courses of 5-azacytidine (5-Aza) were administrated as maintenance therapy after induction therapy with daunorubicin and cytarabine. OUTCOMES Myeloblasts decreased in the bone marrow and the LC disappeared after induction therapy. The MSs completely disappeared, except for the palatine tonsil lesion, after 5-Aza maintenance therapy. 5-Aza treatment provided long-term partial response for more than 21 months. LESSONS 5-Aza was well tolerated and may be a good option for the treatment of MS and LC associated with MDS, especially in older patients who cannot receive HSCT.

Abstract
Cryptococcosis is an invasive fungal infection in immunocompromised patients. The clinicopathological characteristics of cryptococcal lymphadenitis are not well known. We analyzed three cases of cryptococcal lymphadenitis and compared their characteristics with those in previous reports. Two patients were human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) carriers, and one patient was a human T-cell leukemia virus type-1 (HTLV-1) carrier. The age of the HTLV-1 carrier with cryptococcosis was much higher than that of the HIV-1 carriers. CD4-positive cell counts in peripheral blood were 5.8/μL (Case 1) and 79.9/μL (Case 2) in the HIV carriers and 3285/μL in the HTLV-1 carrier (Case 3). According to flow cytometric analysis of the lymph nodes of Cases 1, 2, and 3, 50.0%, 87.1%, and 85.9%, respectively, of the T-cells were CD3; 9.8%, 16.3%, and 75.8%, respectively, were CD4; and 35.5%, 77.3%, and 10.2%, respectively, were CD8. Cryptococcus neoformans was detected in tissue culture in all patients. Although gelatinous lesions and numerous fungal cocci were observed in the two HIV patients, the granuloma formation was small. Gelatinous formation and granuloma formation were observed in the HTLV-1 carrier. Necrosis was observed in all cases. In previous reports, granuloma formation, epithelioid cells, and necrotic lesions were observed in most cases. Most of the patients were also immunosuppressed. However, no HTLV-1 carrier was detected. In conclusion, lymphadenopathy in a HTLV-1 carrier may suggest the presence of cryptococcal lymphadenitis. The frequency of cryptococcosis in HTVL-1 carriers may increase with increase in the long-term survival rate of HTLV-1 carriers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Decision-making models for elderly patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) treated with rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP) are in great demand. PATIENTS AND METHODS The Society of Lymphoma Treatment in Japan (SoLT-J), in collaboration with the West-Japan Hematology and Oncology Group (West-JHOG), collected and retrospectively analyzed the clinical records of ≥65-year-old patients with DLBCL treated with R-CHOP from 19 sites across Japan to build an algorithm that can stratify adherence to R-CHOP. RESULTS A total of 836 patients with a median age of 74 years (range, 65-96 years) were analyzed. In the SoLT-J cohort (n = 555), age >75 years, serum albumin level <3.7 g/dL, and Charlson Comorbidity Index score ≥3 were independent adverse risk factors and were defined as the Age, Comorbidities, and Albumin (ACA) index. Based on their ACA index score, patients were categorized into "excellent" (0 points), "good" (1 point), "moderate" (2 points), and "poor" (3 points) groups. This grouping effectively discriminated the 3-year overall survival rates, mean relative total doses (or relative dose intensity) of anthracycline and cyclophosphamide, unanticipated R-CHOP discontinuance rates, febrile neutropenia rates, and treatment-related death rates. Additionally, the ACA index showed comparable results for these clinical parameters when it was applied to the West-JHOG cohort (n = 281). CONCLUSION The ACA index has the ability to stratify the prognosis, tolerability to cytotoxic drugs, and adherence to treatment of elderly patients with DLBCL treated with R-CHOP. The Oncologist 2017;22:554-560 IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: Currently, little is known regarding how to identify elderly patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma who may tolerate a full dose of chemotherapy or to what extent cytotoxic drugs should be reduced in some specific conditions. The Society of Lymphoma Treatment in Japan developed a host-dependent prognostic model consisting of higher age (>75 years), hypoalbuminemia (<3.7 g/dL), and higher Charlson Comorbidity Index score (≥3) for such elderly patients. This model can stratify the prognosis, tolerability to cytotoxic drugs, and adherence to treatment of these patients and thus help clinicians in formulating personalized treatment strategies for this growing patient population.

Abstract
A 62-year-old man with CHOP refractory adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL) received anti-CC chemokine receptor 4 antibody (mogamulizumab) combined with CHOP and achieved complete remission. At 71 days after the final administration of mogamulizumab, he received umbilical cord blood transplantation (CBT) using reduced intensity conditioning. Umbilical cord blood engraftment was confirmed on day16. Grade II acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) was diagnosed on day60 and was controlled by administration of methylprednisolone. There was no evidence of relapse at 9 months after CBT. Ratios of regulatory T cells in CD4 positive T cells were remarkably low during all of these periods. Since mogamulizumab reduces regulatory T cells, the frequency and severity of acute GVHD were reported to be increased in patients administered mogamulizumab before allogenic stem cell transplantation. Further experiences are needed for selecting optimal donor sources, the portability period and GVHD prophylaxis for patients using mogamulizumab before allogeneic stem cell transplantation.

Abstract
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most frequent adult leukemia in western countries, but it is rare in Japan. Several mutations have been identified in patients with CLL using next-generation sequencing, but disease-specific mutations were not found. Some mutations, such as those in TP53, NOTCH1, SF3B, and BIRC3 are useful for risk stratification and prognosis prediction in patients with CLL. Strategies for treating CLL are rapidly evolving, with targeted agents such as the B-cell receptor signaling pathway inhibitors (ibrutinib, idelalisib), novel anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody (obinutuzumab), and Bcl-2 inhibitor (venetoclax) being approved by the US Food and Drug Administration. Although key drugs such as chlorambucil and rituximab cannot be used in Japan, others such as ibrutinib and bendamustine were recently approved for CLL treatment in Japan.

Abstract
Purpose To elucidate the management and outcomes of patients with extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type (ENKL), who were diagnosed between 2000 and 2013 in Japan. Patients and Methods Data from 358 patients with ENKL diagnosed between 2000 and 2013 from 31 institutes were retrospectively analyzed. Results Patients’ median age was 58 years, and 257 (72%) had localized disease. The most common first-line treatment was radiotherapy with dexamethasone, etoposide, ifosfamide, and carboplatin (RT-DeVIC) (66%) for localized ENKL and L-asparaginase–containing chemotherapy (30%) for advanced ENKL. With a median follow-up of 5.8 years, overall survival (OS) rates at 5 years for localized and advanced ENKL were 68% and 24%, respectively. The prognostic index of natural killer lymphoma was validated in our study, although only 4% of patients with localized ENKL were classified as high risk. With a median follow-up of 5.6 years, OS and progression-free survival at 5 years in the 150 patients who received RT-DeVIC in clinical practice were 72% (95% CI, 63% to 78%) and 61% (95% CI, 52% to 69%), respectively. Toxicities of RT-DeVIC were comparable to those in a previous trial. Multivariate analysis in patients with localized ENKL who received RT-DeVIC identified elevated soluble interleukin-2 receptor as an independent predictive factor for worse OS and progression-free survival (adjusted hazard ratios, 2.28 and 2.46; 95% CI, 1.24 to 4.23 and 1.42 to 4.28; P = .008 and .0014, respectively). Conclusion Favorable OS in response to new treatments was demonstrated in a large number of patients. Improved treatment approaches are needed for localized ENKL exhibiting elevated pretreatment soluble interleukin-2 receptor.

Abstract
Genomic alterations and protein expression levels have been established as prognostic factors for survival in patients with diffuse large B‐cell lymphoma (DLBCL). In particular, double‐hit DLBCL (DHL), which exhibits translocations in MYC and BCL2 and/or BCL6, is known to be associated with a poor prognosis. However, the clinical significance of gene alterations and protein expression levels for MYC, B‐cell lymphoma (BCL)2, and BCL6 are unclear. In this study, we analyzed 61 adult patients diagnosed with DLBCL without DHL, who were treated with rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisolone, or similar regimens. There were no differences in the distribution of MYC expression rates among the different MYC gene statuses. In log–rank tests, MYC translocation was a prognostic factor for overall survival (OS; P = 0.011), whereas BCL2 and BCL6 translocation were not prognostic indicators (P = 0.999 and P = 0.925, respectively). Although the expression levels of MYC and BCL6 were not significantly associated with OS, the expression of BCL2 was a prognostic factor for OS (P = 0.027). Furthermore, copy number gains in the MYC, BCL2, and BCL6 genes did not affect OS. MYC translocation (hazard ratio, 4.769; range, 1.518–14.98; P = 0.007) and BCL2 protein expression (hazard ratio, 3.072; range, 1.002–9.413; P = 0.049) were independent prognostic factors for survival in multivariate analyses. In conclusion, MYC translocation and BCL2 expression may need to be investigated at the initial diagnosis to predict prognosis in patients with DLBCL.

Abstract
Invasive tracheal aspergillosis (ITA) is an infection that is unique to patients who have undergone lung transplantation (LT). Although the activity of this disease often appears on imaging, we encountered a case of ITA that became exacerbated, despite few computed tomography (CT) findings, during rituximab combined chemotherapy for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. ITA developed during immunosuppressive therapy after LT. Because CT findings may show false-negative results, bronchoscopy is recommended for such cases.
