Abstract
Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) is invariably accompanied by some degree of immune failure, and CLL patients have a high rate of second primary malignancy (SPM) compared to the general population. We comprehensively documented the incidence of all forms of SPM including skin cancer (SC), solid organ malignancy (SOM), second haematological malignancy (SHM) and separately Richter's syndrome (RS) across all therapy eras. Among the 517 CLL/small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) patients, the overall incidence of SPMs with competing risks was SC 31.07%, SOM 25.99%, SHM 5.19% and RS 7.55%. Of the 216 treated patients, 106 (49.1%) had at least one form of SPM, and 63 of 106 (29.2% of treated patients) developed an SPM 1.5 years (median) after treatment for their CLL. Melanoma accounted for 30.3% of SC. Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), including eight metastatic SCCs, was 1.8 times more than basal cell carcinoma (BCC), a reversal of the typical BCC:SCC ratio. The most common SOMs were prostate (6.4%) and breast (4.5%). SHM included seven acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) and five myelodysplasia (MDS) of which eight (four AML, four MDS) were therapy-related. Any SPM occurred in 32.1% of 53 Monoclonal B-lymphocytosis (MBL) patients. Age-adjusted standardised rates of SPM (per 100,000) for CLL, MBL and the general Australian population were 2648, 1855 and 486.9, respectively. SPMs are a major health burden with 44.9% of CLL patients with having at least one SPM, and apart from SC, associated with significantly reduced overall survival. Dramatic improvements in CLL treatment and survival have occurred with immunochemotherapy and targeted therapies, but mitigating SPM burden will be important to sustain further progress.

Mavridou D, Psatha K, Aivaliotis M. Proteomics and Drug Repurposing in CLL towards Precision Medicine. Cancers (Basel) 2021; 13:cancers13143391. [PMID: 34298607 PMCID: PMC8303629 DOI: 10.3390/cancers13143391] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2021] [Revised: 06/25/2021] [Accepted: 06/29/2021] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary Despite continued efforts, the current status of knowledge in CLL molecular pathobiology, diagnosis, prognosis and treatment remains elusive and imprecise. Proteomics approaches combined with advanced bioinformatics and drug repurposing promise to shed light on the complex proteome heterogeneity of CLL patients and mitigate, improve, or even eliminate the knowledge stagnation. In relation to this concept, this review presents a brief overview of all the available proteomics and drug repurposing studies in CLL and suggests the way such studies can be exploited to find effective therapeutic options combined with drug repurposing strategies to adopt and accost a more “precision medicine” spectrum. Abstract CLL is a hematological malignancy considered as the most frequent lymphoproliferative disease in the western world. It is characterized by high molecular heterogeneity and despite the available therapeutic options, there are many patient subgroups showing the insufficient effectiveness of disease treatment. The challenge is to investigate the individual molecular characteristics and heterogeneity of these patients. Proteomics analysis is a powerful approach that monitors the constant state of flux operators of genetic information and can unravel the proteome heterogeneity and rewiring into protein pathways in CLL patients. This review essences all the available proteomics studies in CLL and suggests the way these studies can be exploited to find effective therapeutic options combined with drug repurposing approaches. Drug repurposing utilizes all the existing knowledge of the safety and efficacy of FDA-approved or investigational drugs and anticipates drug alignment to crucial CLL therapeutic targets, leading to a better disease outcome. The drug repurposing studies in CLL are also discussed in this review. The next goal involves the integration of proteomics-based drug repurposing in precision medicine, as well as the application of this procedure into clinical practice to predict the most appropriate drugs combination that could ensure therapy and the long-term survival of each CLL patient.

Abstract
B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most prevalent leukemia in the United States, and its diagnosis can have many dermatologic implications. For one, the cutaneous manifestations of CLL include several entities, most notably leukemia cutis, eosinophilic dermatosis of hematologic malignancy, and a heightened risk of skin infections. Additionally, CLL patients are at an increased risk of secondary malignancies, most commonly of the skin. Furthermore, a number of commonly utilized treatments for CLL have cutaneous implications which should be considered in the interdisciplinary management of CLL patients. In this review, we will provide an update on the diverse cutaneous manifestations of CLL and CLL-directed therapies in order to help guide dermatologic management of this increasingly prevalent patient population.

The Pattern of Use of PET/CT Scans in the Clinical Management of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia. CLINICAL LYMPHOMA MYELOMA & LEUKEMIA 2021; 21:558-563. [PMID: 34011485 DOI: 10.1016/j.clml.2021.04.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2021] [Revised: 03/28/2021] [Accepted: 04/06/2021] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The study aimed to evaluate the utilization patterns of positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) patients and to investigate whether the results of these scans influenced treatment decisions. PATIENTS and Methods: In this observational study, we analyzed patients with CLL or small lymphocytic leukemia (SLL) who underwent at least one PET/CT scan from 2007 to 2018. Patients were divided into two groups: (1) patients who had at least one fluorodeoxyglucose-avid PET/CT scan, and (2) patients who had all negative scans. PET/CT results were retrieved from patients' medical files and were revised by an expert radiologist according to visual score scale, SUVmax/SUVliver mean ratio, and the SUVmax. RESULTS Of the 524 patients, 160 patients (30.5%) had PET/CT scans, and 120 patients met the inclusion criteria. A total of 219 eligible scans were analyzed; 62 of these scans (28.3%) were reported as positive, and 167 of these scans (76.3%) were performed for staging. There was a significant association between PET/CT results and change of therapy (P < .001); however, 62.9% of the positive PET/CT scans were not followed by a change of treatment. Survival time was not different between the two groups. The SUVmax/SUVliver mean ratio was negatively significantly associated with lymphocytes percent (r = -0.237, P = .042) and positively associated with lactate dehydrogenase levels (r = 0.338, P = .008) among CLL patients. CONCLUSION Despite the fact that the use of surveillance PET/CT for patients with CLL/SLL is not in the guidelines and that it is not useful for disease management, in practice the test is in frequent use in Israel.

Abstract
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is associated with perturbed immune function and increased risk for second primary malignancies (SPM). Ibrutinib and acalabrutinib (BTKi) are effective therapies for CLL resulting in partial restoration of immune function. The incidence of and risk factors for SPM in CLL patients receiving BTKi are not yet characterized. We retrospectively determined the incidence of SPM in CLL patients treated with ibrutinib or acalabrutinib at our institution between 2009 and 2017, assessed for association between baseline characteristics and SPM incidence, and compared the observed to expected cancer incidence among age, sex, and year matched controls without CLL. After a median of 44 months follow-up, 64/691 patients (9%) were diagnosed with SPM (excluding non-melanoma skin cancer [NMSC]). The three-year cumulative incidence rate was 16% for NMSC and 7% for other SPM. On multivariable analysis, smoking was associated with increased SPM risk (HR 2.8 [95% CI: 1.6–4.8]) and higher baseline CD8 count was associated with lower SPM risk (HR 0.9 for 2-fold increase [95% CI: 0.8–0.9]). The observed over expected rate of SPM was 2.2 [95% CI: 1.7–2.9]. CLL patients treated with BTKi remain at increased risk for SPM, and secondary cancer detection is an important consideration in this population.
