[Rare tumors: Angiosarcoma]

Angiosarcomas are a rare subtype representing 1-2% of soft tissue sarcomas. Risk factors are rarely elucidated but radiotherapy and lymphedema are the most common ones, usually following local treatment for local breast cancer. Despite the improvement of our knowledge, the prognosis remains poor with 35-40% of 5 year-overall survival. Local treatment when feasible should include a R0 surgery completed with adjuvant radiation. When metastatic, front lines chemotherapies include doxorubicine or weekly paclitaxel. If possible, in oligometastatic patients, metastasectomy should always be considered allowing the best responses. The knowledge of angiosarcoma's biology is rapidly increasing and new biomarkers are emerging. The use of immunotherapy in particular subtypes including head and neck angiosarcomas shows promising results. The model of the angiosarcoma project, a patient-participating study, seems to be an excellent way to study rare tumors. We should focus our efforts on understanding the underlying molecular biology to propose the best precision medicine for those patients.

[Bispecific antibodies in onco-hematology: Applications and perspectives]

Bispecific antibodies are novel approaches of immunotherapy engaging immune cells to destroy tumor cells. Their structure is variable and underlies their pharmacocinetic properties. These coumpounds are now being evaluated across multiple hematological malignancies. The anti-CD3/CD19 antibody blinatumomab is the first in class and have been approved for the treatment of patients with Ph-negative B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Other emerging applications are lymphoma, multiple myeloma and acute myeloid leukemia. The safety profile of bispecific antibodies is acceptable while limited by neurotoxicity and cytokine-release syndrome. The present review aims to depict the landscape of emerging bispecific antibodies currently in development for hematological malignancies.
