Abstract
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) represents the most common tumor in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. N-Myc downstream-regulated gene 2 (NDRG2) is a tumor suppressor highly expressed in healthy tissues but downregulated in many cancers. Although cell proliferation-related metabolism rewiring has been well characterized, less is known about the mechanism of metabolic changes with DLBCL. Herein, we investigated the expressions of NDRG2, MYC and Myc-interacting zinc finger protein 1 (MIZ-1) in seven human lymphoma (mostly DLBCLs) cell lines. NDRG2 expression was inversely correlated with the expressions of MYC and MIZ-1. Further, we explored the regulatory mechanism and biological functions underlying the lymphomagenesis involving NDRG2, MYC and MIZ-1. MYC and MIZ-1 promoted DLBCL cell proliferation, while NDRG2 induced apoptosis in LY8 cells. Moreover, NDRG2 methylation was reversed by the 5-Aza-2'-deoxycytidine (5-Aza-CDR) treatment, triggering the downregulation of MYC and inhibiting DLBCL cell survival. MYC interacts with NDRG2 to regulate energy metabolism associated with mTOR. Remarkably, supporting the biological significance, the converse correlation between NDRG2 and MYC was observed in human DLBCL tumor tissues (R = -0.557). Bioinformatics analysis further validated the association among NDRG2, MYC, MIZ-1, mTOR, and related metabolism genes. Additionally, NDRG2 (P = 0.001) and MYC (P < 0.001) were identified as promising prognostic biomarkers in DLBCL patients through survival analysis. Together, our data demonstrate that the MYC/MIZ-1 complex interplays with NDRG2 to influence the proliferation and apoptosis of DLBCL cells and show the characterizations of NDRG2, MYC and MIZ-1 for metabolism features and prediction prognosis in DLBCL.

Abstract
Introduction Cancer exerts a substantial influence on the body's metabolism through varied mechanisms, instigating a metabolic reprogramming that maintains the unchecked growth and survival of cancer cells, consequently perturbing diverse metabolic parameters. The introduction of positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET/CT), delivering detailed insights into both metabolic and morphological aspects, has brought about a revolutionary shift in modern cancer detection. Exploring the potential connection between PET-CT metabolic features and the metabolic parameters of liver enzymes in an individual can unveil novel avenues for cancer diagnosis and prognosis. Materials and methods This study conducted a retrospective analysis of patient records from our institution, covering the period from January 2021 to September 2023, focusing on individuals with various malignancies. The data included information on gender, age, clinical history, and liver serum parameters, which were compiled into tables. Additionally, inflammatory indicators such as ALT (alanine transaminase), ALP (alkaline phosphatase), total protein (TP), ALT/AST ratio, and SUVmax were collected and plotted. The study used Pearson correlation analysis to assess the relationship between each inflammatory variable and SUV (max) as determined by PET-CT. Results In breast cancer, there was a statistically significant positive correlation (R2=0.0651) between serum ALP levels and SUVmax as determined by regression analysis. Hodgkin lymphoma, on the other hand, showed a statistically significant negative correlation between the ALT-to-AST ratio (ALT/AST) and SUVmax (r = -0.45, R2 = 0.204). In non-Hodgkin lymphoma patients, total protein (TP) was negatively correlated with SUVmax (R2=-0.081, r= -0.28), while in lung cancer patients, there was a significant positive correlation with regression correlation coefficients (R2 = 0.026, 0.024, 0.024, and 0.018 for ALT/AST, TP, ALP, albumin, and ALT, respectively). Conclusion Aligning with these results, it can be a recent addition to acknowledge that both the tumor metabolic parameter (SUVmax) and the levels of liver serum enzymes exhibit a potential for predicting patient prognosis in various cancers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Aspartate aminotransferase (AST), an indicator of liver cell damage, was related to the prognosis of certain malignant tumors. OBJECTIVE This study examined the predictive value of AST in patients with extranodal natural killer/T cell lymphoma (ENKTL). METHODS We reviewed 183 cases diagnosed with ENKTL and selected 26 U/L as the optimum cut-off value of AST. We used the univariate and multivariate Cox regression to compare the different AST groups' overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). RESULTS Prior to propensity score matching (PSM), Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that patients in the low AST subgroup had better OS and PFS than the high AST subgroup. Multivariate analysis revealed that AST was an independent indicator for prognosis. After PSM, the low AST subgroup maintained a significantly better OS and PFS than the high AST subgroup. CONCLUSION AST might represent a significant prognostic marker for ENKTL patients.

Abstract
The study aims to investigate second primary malignancy (SPM) development and frailty in Turkish geriatric patients with multiple myeloma (MM) and to assess the relationship between overall survival (OS) and various characteristics including SPM and frailty. Seventy-two patients diagnosed with and treated for MM were enrolled in the study. Frailty was determined by the IMWG Frailty Score. Fifty-three participants (73.6%) were found to have clinically-relevant frailty. Seven patients (9.7%) had SPM. Median follow-up was 36.5 (22-48.5) months, and 17 patients died during the follow-up period. Overall (OS) was 49.40 (45.01-53.80) months. Shorter OS was found in patients with SPM (35.29 (19.66-50.91) months) compared to those without (51.05 (46.7-55.4) months) (Kaplan-Meier; p = 0.018). The multivariate cox proportional hazards model revealed that patients with SPM had 4.420-fold higher risk of death than those without (HR: 4.420, 95% CI: 1.371-14.246, p = 0.013). Higher ALT levels were also independently associated with mortality (p = 0.038). The prevalence of SPM and frailty was high in elderly patients with MM in our study. The development of SPM independently reduces survival in MM; however, frailty was not found to be independently associated with survival. Our results suggest the importance of individualized approaches in the management of patients with MM, particularly with regard to SPM development.

Abstract
Monitoring for liver injury remains an important aspect of drug safety assessment, including for oncotherapeutics. When present, drug-induced liver injury may limit the use or result in the discontinuation of these agents. Drug-induced liver injury can exhibit with a wide spectrum of clinical and biochemical manifestations, ranging from transient asymptomatic elevations in aminotransferases (TAEAT) to acute liver failure. Numerous oncotherapeutics have been associated with TAEAT, with published reports indicating a phenomenon in which patients may be asymptomatic without overt liver injury despite the presence of grade ≥3 aminotransferase elevations. In this review, we discuss the occurrence of TAEAT in the context of oncology clinical trials and clinical practice, as well as the clinical relevance of this phenomenon as an adverse event in response to oncotherapeutics and the related cellular and molecular mechanisms that may underlie its occurrence. We also identify several gaps in knowledge relevant to the diagnosis and the management of TAEAT in patients receiving oncotherapeutics, and identify areas warranting further study to enable the future development of consensus guidelines to support clinical decision-making.

Abstract
It is desirable that noninvasive differential diagnosis takes place without lymph node biopsy for histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis (HNL) or malignant lymphoma (ML). In this study, we propose a novel scoring model for the differential diagnosis of these diseases using clinical information and clinical findings. We retrospectively analyzed the data from 15 HNL and 13 ML pediatric patients. First, a univariate analysis identified 14 clinical factors with significant differences. Second, a subsequent analysis using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis identified three factors among them with area under the ROC curve values of >0.95: body temperature (°C), maximum lymph node size (cm), and serum β2-microglobulin level (mg/L). Finally, the cut-off values of each of these three factors were determined and examined for the 28 cases. All 15 HNL cases were within 2–3 of the cut-off values among the three factors, no ML case was within two or more cut-off values. Thus, the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of this novel scoring system were both 100%, indicating that clinical scoring with body temperature, maximum lymph node size, and β2-microglobulin are useful for distinguishing between HNL and ML.
