Abstract
BACKGROUND Rituximab-hyper-CVAD alternating with rituximab-high-dose methotrexate and cytarabine is a commonly utilized regimen in the United States for mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) based on phase II single institutional data. To confirm the clinical efficacy of this regimen and determine its feasibility in a multicenter study that includes both academic and community-based practices, a phase II study of this regimen was conducted by SWOG. PATIENTS AND METHODS Forty-nine patients with advanced stage, previously untreated MCL were eligible. The median age was 57.4 years (35-69.8 years). RESULTS Nineteen patients (39%) did not complete the full scheduled course of treatment due to toxicity. There was one treatment-related death and two cases of secondary myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). There were 10 episodes of grade 3 febrile neutropenia, 19 episodes of grade 3 and 1 episode of grade 4 infection. With a median follow-up of 4.8 years, the median progression-free survival was 4.8 years (5.5 years for those ≤ 65 years) and the median overall survival (OS) was 6.8 years. CONCLUSIONS Although this regimen is toxic, it is active for patients ≤ 65 years of age and can be given both at academic centers and in experienced community centers.

Abstract
To complement the existing treatment guidelines for all tumour types, ESMO organizes consensus conferences to focus on specific issues in each type of tumour. In this setting, a consensus conference on the management of lymphoma was held on 18 June 2011 in Lugano, next to the 11th International Conference on Malignant Lymphoma. The conference convened ∼30 experts from all around Europe, and selected six lymphoma entities to be addressed; for each of them, three to five open questions were to be addressed by the experts. For each question, a recommendation should be given by the panel, referring to the strength of the recommendation based on the level of evidence. This consensus report focuses on the three less common lymphoproliferative malignancies: marginal zone lymphoma, mantle cell lymphoma, and peripheral T-cell lymphomas. A first report had focused on diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, follicular lymphoma, and chronic lymphocytic leukaemia.

Abstract
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare and aggressive subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. New treatment modalities, including intensive induction regimens with immunochemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplant, have improved survival. However, many patients still relapse, and there is a need for novel therapeutic strategies. Recent progress has been made in the understanding of the role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in MCL. Comparisons of tumor samples from patients with MCL with their normal counterparts (naive B-cells) have identified differentially expressed miRNAs with roles in cellular growth and survival pathways, as demonstrated in various biological model systems. In addition, MCL clinico-pathological and prognostic subtypes can be identified using individual miRNAs or miRNA classifiers. miRNA based therapies have now shown efficacy in animal models, and many efforts are currently being made to further develop these drugs for use in patients. Thus, there is hope that specific targeting of pathogenic miRNAs may be used in cases of MCL when conventional therapies fail. Here, we review the current knowledge about the role of miRNAs in MCL, and highlight the perspectives for clinical use.

Abstract
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is one of the lymphomas with the worse prognosis (median survival 3-5years) as it has an aggressive evolution and at the same time is incurable. Biologically it is characterized by the t(11;14)(q13;q32) translocation leading to overexpression of cyclin D1. This review focuses on a number of controversial issues in the management of this disease, as how to stage patients with a disease which often has extranodal localizations, how to recognize the small subgroup of cases with an indolent course, which treatment is suggested for the young and fit or for the elderly, the role of CNS prophylaxis, rituximab maintenance and radiotherapy, the indications to allogeneic transplantation and the place of new active anti-lymphoma drugs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Treatment of splenic marginal zone lymphoma (SMZL) patients is not standardized. Recent data suggest that rituximab is highly effective and could be considered as initial therapy. AIM To assess the efficacy of rituximab monotherapy in a large series of patients with SMZL and compare these results with splenectomy results. METHODS The studied population included 85 patients. Fifty-eight received rituximab at a dose of 375 mg/m2 per week for 6 weeks as induction followed by maintenance at the same dose every 2 months for 1-2 years, whereas 27 patients were treated using splenectomy only. RESULTS The overall response rate to rituximab 2 months after the end of induction was 95% (complete response [CR], 45%; unconfirmed CR, 26%; partial response, 24%). The median times to hematologic and clinical response were 2 weeks and 3 weeks, respectively. Forty-three of 55 patients already completed the maintenance phase: 28 sustained their initial response, 14 improved their response, and one progressed. Eighty-five percent of splenectomized patients responded, and two were treated with rituximab as consolidation after splenectomy and achieved a CR. The 5-year overall and progression-free survival (PFS) rates for rituximab-treated and splenectomized patients were 92% and 77% (p = .09) and 73% and 58% (p = .06), respectively. Furthermore, maintenance therapy with rituximab resulted in a longer duration of response (at 5 years, PFS was 84% for patients receiving maintenance and 36% for patients without maintenance, p <.0001). CONCLUSIONS Rituximab is a very effective and well-tolerated therapy and may be substituted for splenectomy as the first-line treatment of choice for patients with SMZL.

Reappraising the role of autologous transplantation for indolent B-cell lymphomas in the chemoimmunotherapy era: is it still relevant? Bone Marrow Transplant 2012; 48:1013-21.

Abstract
The role of autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (auto-HCT) in the management of indolent non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL) is shrouded in controversy. The outcomes of conventional therapies for many indolent lymphoma subtypes have dramatically improved over the last several years with the use of monoclonal antibodies, maintenance therapy programs and with the incorporation of radio-immunoconjugates. These significant advances in the armamentarium of lymphoma therapeutics warrant reappraisal of the current role of auto-HCT in the treatment algorithm of indolent NHL. Prospective randomized studies comparing contemporary chemoimmunotherapies against auto-HCT are lacking, leading to significant debate about the role and timing of auto-HCT for indolent NHL in the modern era. Although autografting for follicular lymphoma (FL) in first remission has been largely abandoned, it remains a useful modality for relapsed disease, especially for the subgroup of patients who are not candidates for allogeneic transplantation with a curative intent. Auto-HCT can provide durable disease control in chemosensitive transformed FL and mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) in first remission, with relatively low toxicity, and remains appropriate in chemoimmunotherapy era. Contemporary data are also reviewed to clarify the often underutilized role of autografting in relapsed MCL and other less frequent indolent NHL histologies. The biological basis of the increased risks of second malignancies with auto-HCT are reviewed to identify strategies designed to mitigate this risk by, for example, avoiding exposure to genotoxic agents, planning early stem cell collection/cryopreservation and minimizing the use of TBI with transplant conditioning, and so on. Genetic testing able to identify patients at high risk of therapy-related complications and novel post-transplant immune therapies with the potential of transforming autografting in indolent NHL from a remission-extending therapy to a curative modality are discussed to examine the possibly expanding role of auto-HCT for lymphoid malignancies in the coming years.

Abstract
In most patients, mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) shows an aggressive clinical course with a continuous relapse pattern and a median survival of only 3-5 years. In the current study generation of the European MCL Network, the addition of high-dose Ara-C to R-CHOP (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine and prednisone)-like regimen followed by myeloablative consolidation achieved a significant improvement of progression-free survival in younger patients. In elderly patients, rituximab maintenance led to a marked prolongation of remission duration. Emerging strategies include mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitors, proteasome inhibitors, immune modulatory drugs, Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitors and others, all based on the dysregulated control of cell cycle machinery and impairment of several apoptotic pathways. Combination strategies are currently being investigated in numerous trials, but their introduction into clinical practice and current treatment algorithms remains a challenge. In the current survey, the application of the molecular targeted compounds were collected and evaluated by a representative national network of 14 haematological institutions. Optimised strategies are recommended for clinical routine. Future studies will apply individualised approaches according to the molecular risk profile of the patient.
