Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the efficacy of rituximab maintenance in 60- to 75-year-old patients with advanced follicular lymphoma responding to brief first-line chemoimmunotherapy followed by rituximab consolidation. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 234 treatment-naive 60- to 75-year-old patients began chemoimmunotherapy with four monthly courses of rituximab, fludarabine, mitoxantrone, and dexamethasone (R-FND) followed by four weekly cycles of rituximab consolidation. Of these, 210 patients completed the planned treatment, and 202 responders were randomly assigned to rituximab maintenance (arm A) for 8 months, once every 2 months for a total of four doses, or to observation (arm B). RESULTS Median ages in arms A and B were 66 and 65 years, respectively. After induction and consolidation therapy, the overall response rate was 86%, with 69% complete remissions (CR). After a 42-month median follow-up from diagnosis, 3-year progression-free survival (PFS; the primary end point) and overall survival (OS) were 66% (95% CI, 59% to 72%) and 89% (95% CI, 85% to 93%), respectively. After randomization, 2-year PFS was 81% for rituximab maintenance versus 69% for observation, with a hazard ratio of 0.74 (95% CI, 0.45 to 1.21; P = .226), although this was not statistically significant. No differences between the two arms were detected for OS. Overall, the regimen was well-tolerated. The most frequent grade 3 to 4 toxicity was neutropenia (25% of treatment courses), with 13 infections. Two toxic deaths (0.8%) occurred during induction treatment. CONCLUSION A brief R-FND induction plus rituximab consolidation achieved excellent results with high CR and PFS rates, supporting the feasibility of this regimen in patients older than 60 years. A short rituximab maintenance did not achieve a statistically significant PFS improvement over observation.

Abstract
B cell-chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), the commonest adult leukemia in western world, is today most often diagnosed at early-stage, following the accidental detection of lymphocytosis during a routine blood analysis. Moreover, the expectations of CLL patients have dramatically changed in the past decade and for the first time a significant overall survival improvement has been demonstrated in the disease--at least in the younger and fit patients--with the use of the FCR regimen, which combines rituximab fludarabine and cyclophosphamide. New drugs and new regimens are currently being developed for the relapsed patients and for those too old or too frail to receive aggressive treatments. Some of these promising compounds will likely be part of the future front-line treatments. Additionally, the increasing knowledge on the molecular features that predict the clinical outcome may soon result in a molecular classification of the disease. These acquisitions are producing a migration from palliative care to a curative and individually-tailored approach. In this review we tried to summarize the advances achieved in the past decade and help the specialists in internal medicine and the general practitioners to understand the completely changed scenario in which the disease should nowadays be managed.

Abstract
The identification of patients at high risk of relapse is a critical goal of modern translational research in oncohematology. Minimal residual disease (MRD) detection by polymerase chain reaction-based methods is routinely employed in the management of patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Current knowledge indicates that it is also a useful prognostic tool in several mature lymphoproliferative disorders and particularly in follicular lymphoma (FL). Based on this evidence clinical trials employing MRD-based risk stratification are currently ongoing in FL. In this review the 'state of the art' of MRD evaluation in FL is discussed. A short description of technical issues and recent methodological advances is provided. Then, the bulk of the review focuses on critical take-home messages for clinicians working in the field. Finally, we discuss future perspectives of MRD detection and more generally outcome prediction in FL.

Abstract
Telomere shortening, a well-known marker of aging and cellular stress, occurs under several conditions in the hematopoietic compartment, including aplastic anemia and following iatrogenic noxae. We decided to verify whether pathological telomere erosion also arises in restored Philadelphia-negative (Ph-negative) hematopoiesis following successful treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Eighty-one CML patients in complete cytogenetic remission were compared to 76 age-matched healthy subjects. Myeloid cells of CML patients had shorter telomeres than controls (6521 bp vs 7233 bp, p<0.001). This difference was specific for the myeloid compartment, since it was not observed in lymphoid cells (6774 bp vs 6909 bp, p=0.620). Acquired Ph-negative cytogenetic abnormalities (p=0.010), lack of complete molecular remission (p=0.016) and age (p=0.013) were independent predictors of telomere shortening. Telomere dynamics were assessed over a median follow-up period of 22 months. We documented accelerated non-physiological ongoing telomere shortening in 17/59 CML patients (28%). Patients experiencing grade 2-4 hematological toxicity, during CML remission possessed significantly shorter telomeres compared to those lacking toxicity (p=0.005 for any toxicity, p=0.007 for anemia). CML patients suffer from significant and often ongoing telomere stress resulting in premature and selective aging of the myeloid compartment which might have long-term consequences on function and integrity of Ph-negative hematopoiesis.

Abstract
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is associated with some B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B cell-NHLs). Patients with HCV infection frequently show co-infections with GB virus C (GBV-C, formerly known as hepatitis G virus), and some studies have suggested a higher incidence of GBV-C infection in patients with B cell-NHLs. The aim of this study was to prospectively evaluate the association between HCV and/or GBV-C infection and B cell-NHLs in different geographic areas. One hundred thirty-seven lymphoma cases and 125 non-lymphoma matched controls were enrolled in an international case-control study conducted in Switzerland (Bellinzona), Spain (Barcelona) and England (Southampton) on samples collected from 2001 to 2002. In Bellinzona (41 cases and 81 controls), the overall prevalence of HCV was 3.3% (4.9% in NHLs), and the overall prevalence of GBV-C was 24% (22% in NHLs). In Barcelona (46 cases and 44 controls), the prevalence of HCV was 10% (8.7% in NHLs) and the prevalence of GBV-C 20% (13% in NHLs). There was no statistically significant difference in the frequency of both infections between patients with NHL and controls. In Southampton, 50 NHL cases were analysed, none of them was found to be HCV-positive; therefore, no control group was analysed and GBV-C analysis was not performed, too. Both in Bellinzona and in Barcelona, the seropositivity rate was significantly lower for HCV than for GBV-C, suggesting that their transmission can be independent. The incidence of HCV was significantly higher in Barcelona than that in Bellinzona. This study confirmed the existence of marked geographic differences in the prevalence of HCV in NHL but cannot provide any significant evidence for an association between HCV and/or GBV-C and B-cell NHLs.

Abstract
The telomeric checkpoint is emerging as a critical sensor of cellular damage, playing a major role in human aging and cancer development. In the meantime, telomere biology is rapidly evolving from a basic discipline to a translational branch, capable of providing major hints for biomarker development, risk assessment and targeted treatment of cancer. These advances have a number of implications in the biology of lymphoid tumours. Moreover, there is considerable interest in the potential role of telomeric dysfunction in the wide array of immunological abnormalities, grouped under the definition of 'immunosenescence'. This review will summarize the impact of recent advances in telomere biology on the physiology and pathology of the B lymphocyte, with special interest in immunosenescence and lymphomagenesis.
