Abstract
Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) is the most common haematological malignancy in Australia and New Zealand (ANZ). Considerable changes to diagnostic and management algorithms have occurred within the last decade. The availability of next-generation sequencing and measurable residual disease assessment by flow cytometry allow for advanced prognostication and response assessments. Novel therapies, including inhibitors of Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTKi) and B-cell lymphoma 2 (BCL2) inhibitors, have transformed the treatment landscape for both treatment-naïve and relapsed/refractory disease, particularly for patients with high-risk genetic aberrations. Recommendations regarding appropriate supportive management continue to evolve, and special considerations are required for patients with CLL with respect to the global SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. The unique funding and treatment environments in Australasia highlight the need for specific local guidance with respect to the investigation and management of CLL. This consensus practice statement was developed by a broadly representative group of ANZ experts in CLL with endorsement by peak haematology bodies, with a view to providing this standardised guidance.

Abstract
Caralluma europaea (Guss.) is an important medicinal plant widely used in Morocco for various traditional purposes. Our work aimed to evaluate the phenolic composition, wound healing, antinociceptive, and anticancer activities of C. europaea extracts. Moreover, this study assessed the beneficial effect of C. europaea phytocompounds on the TRADD, cyclooxegenase-2, Wnt/β-catenin, and tyrosine kinase signaling pathways. The wound healing effect of C. europaea formulations against skin burn was evaluated for 21 days. The cytotoxic effect of the C. europaea extracts was evaluated against human leukemic (K562 and HL60) and liver cancer cell lines (Huh-7) using the MTT test. All the phytoconstituents identified by UHPLC in the polyphenols were docked for their inhibitory power on protein casein kinase-1, glycogen synthase kinase-3-β, cyclooxegenase-2, tyrosine kinase, and TRADD. Luteolin and kaempferol are the main compounds identified in C. europaea polyphenols. The group treated with polyphenols showed the greatest wound contractions and all tested extracts presented a significant antinociceptive effect. Polyphenols showed a remarkable antitumoral activity against the K562, HL60 and Huh-7 cell lines. Saponins exerted an important cytotoxic effect against the Huh-7 cell line, whereas no cytotoxicity was observed for the hydroethanolic and flavonoids extracts. Hesperetin and trimethoxyflavone presented the highest docking G-score on tyrosine kinase and cyclooxygenase, respectively.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Individuals with a prior diagnosis of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) have a higher risk of developing melanoma (MM) and exhibit poorer outcomes when compared to patients without CLL. However, there are limited data reporting the clinicopathological features of MM diagnosed in patients with CLL. OBJECTIVES To review clinicopathological characteristics of patients with co-existing diagnoses of MM and CLL. METHODS A retrospective review was undertaken for patients with co-existing diagnoses of MM and CLL between 2005-2015 in 11 centres in the UK and Ireland. RESULTS Overall, 46 cutaneous MM identified in 45 patients were included. In 28 (62.2%) patients, MM was diagnosed after an existing diagnosis of CLL. In this group, mean Breslow thickness was 2.7 mm (range = 0.2-25 mm). Ten (35.7%) tumors developed locoregional recurrence and 8 (28.6%) developed distant metastases. Melanoma-specific mortality was 5/28 (17.9%) and all-cause mortality was 13/28 (46.4%). In 17 patients, MM was diagnosed before CLL. In this group, mean BT was 2.9 mm (range = 0.4-14 mm), 5 (29.4%) developed locoregional recurrence and 3 (17.6%) distant metastases. Melanoma-specific mortality was 1/17 (5.8%) and all-cause mortality was 5/17 (29.4%) in this group. CONCLUSIONS To our knowledge, this is the first and largest cohort study to report clinicopathological data of co-existing melanoma and CLL in the UK and Ireland. Although the thickness of primary melanoma was not different before or after a CLL diagnosis, melanoma recurrence and melanoma-specific mortality appear to be more common in patients with a prior diagnosis of CLL.

Abstract
With new, effective treatments for chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) the impact of second malignancies is increasingly important. We performed a retrospective case‐controlled study examining the effect of CLL and its treatment on melanoma‐specific survival and recurrence. A total of 56 patients with melanoma with CLL were matched 1:1 to patients without CLL for age, date of diagnosis, gender and melanoma tumour, node, metastasis (TNM) stage. Multivariate analysis found CLL was associated with significantly worse melanoma‐specific mortality (hazard ratio [HR] 2.46, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.27–4.74, p = 0.007) and recurrence (HR 3.44, 95% CI 1.79–6.63, p < 0.001). Patients with CLL had poor immunotherapy tolerance and prior CLL treatment was not associated with melanoma outcomes.

Abstract
Little is known about the comorbidities in actinic keratosis patients. To evaluate the association of actinic keratosis with certain malignancies. All patients with actinic keratosis (n = 61,438) and age- and sex-matched control subjects (n = 307,190) at a 5:1 ratio were enrolled using data from the Korean National Health Insurance Service between the years 2007 and 2014. In subjects with actinic keratosis, overall cancer incidence was higher than that for controls after income level, habitat, diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia were adjusted (Hazard Ratio [HR] = 1.43 [95% confidence interval 1.38–1.47]). The positive association of specific cancers were observed in the following order: skin cancer (HR = 3.43 [2.47–4.75]), oral cavity and pharyngeal cancer (HR = 1.99 [1.57–2.52]), lymphoma (HR = 1.59 [1.28–1.96]), leukemia (HR = 1.35 [1.03–1.77]), prostate cancer (HR = 1.35 [1.21–1.51]), renal cancer (HR = 1.29 [1.02–1.63]), liver cancer (HR = 1.21 [1.09–1.35]), thyroid cancer (HR = 1.20 [1.05–1.38]), and gastric cancer (HR = 1.13 [1.03–1.23]). Although further research on pathologic mechanism is needed, the implications of a positive correlation between actinic keratosis and internal organ malignancies has great significance.

Abstract
The epidemiologic correlation of melanoma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)
has been the subject of several population studies. In the present article,
through the presentation of five illustrative cases of patients with melanoma
and CLL, several aspects of this complex relationship are highlighted, with a
focus on the increased incidence of melanoma in patients with CLL, its
speculated etiology, and the impact of CLL stage and disease duration on the
incidence and prognosis of melanoma. Furthermore, the rare entity of the
synchronous diagnosis of melanoma and CLL in biopsied lymph nodes is discussed,
along with its implications on the diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. In
addition, the available data on the treatment choices in patients with melanoma
and CLL are presented and the efficacy and safety of fludarabine, anti-CD20
monoclonal antibodies, new targeted therapies for CLL, and checkpoint inhibitors
are further discussed. Finally, since no formal guidelines are available for the
management of this group of patients, guidelines are proposed for skin-cancer
screening in patients with CLL, for the correct interpretation of
BRAF mutation analysis in lymph-node specimens with
‘collision of tumors,’ and for the optimal use of imaging studies in the
diagnosis of metastatic disease in patients with CLL and melanoma, while a
treatment approach for such patients is also suggested. The information and
proposed guidelines provided in the present article comprise a useful guide for
physicians managing such patients, focusing on diagnostic challenges and
therapeutic dilemmas posed by the coexistence of the two disease entities.

Abstract
B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), a low-grade malignancy consisting of CD5(+), CD23(+), and CD43(+) small B lymphocytes, is the most frequent leukemia in the western world. Patients with CLL may exhibit skin changes characterized by histopathologic evidence of infiltration by atypical B lymphocytes, also known as "specific cutaneous infiltrates of CLL"; in addition, CLL is known to be associated with an increased risk of second cancers, including Kaposi sarcoma (KS). The combination of KS and CLL within the same cutaneous biopsy specimen has only rarely been described. We report a peculiar case of KS occurring in a patient with CLL, in which histopathological evaluation of KS lesions revealed prominent accumulation of CLL lymphocytes within neoplastic vascular spaces. We believe that our findings represent a novel example of intravascular colonization of vascular neoplasms by neoplastic lymphoid cells, further expanding the evergrowing spectrum of specific cutaneous infiltrates of CLL.
