Lymphoma can be broadly defined as a cancer of mature lymphocytes. Our understanding of the biology of normal lymphocytes and lymphoma has grown at a tremendous pace, and this is now directly translating into changes in clinical practice. This became evident with the introduction of one of the first therapeutic monoclonal antibodies into cancer medicine, the CD20-directed antibody rituximab, which has led to significant benefit for patients with B-cell lymphomas. Since then, a raft of novel agents has entered clinical practice, including targeted small molecules, antibody-drug conjugates, bispecific antibodies, and chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells. This new edition of 'Fast Facts: Lymphoma' has been updated to include recent changes in our understanding of lymphoma biology as well as improvements in diagnostics and therapeutics.

The peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCLs) are a heterogenous group of rare entities. Whilst cytogenetic and molecular identifiers are being identified, accurate diagnosis remains challenging, requiring careful, expert integration of the clinical and pathological findings. The treatment of PTCL is also challenging. Protocols for the different subtypes are only just beginning to emerge, hindered by the complexities of conducting trials in such uncommon and varied conditions. While first-line treatment with conventional chemotherapy is seldom curative, patients who achieve remission may be eligible for stem cell transplantation, offering the possibility of long-term disease control if not cure. Targeted biologics are also being developed as unique cytotoxic markers are identified. 'Fast Facts: Peripheral T-Cell Lymphomas' is a new title in the Fast Facts extensive hemato-oncology library, written by experts in this emerging field. This handbook will be useful to anyone involved in the care of patients with PTCL, including haematologists, oncologists, specialist nurses and primary care providers, raising awareness of these rare lymphomas and the current – and emerging – approaches to diagnosis and treatment.

Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) has been described as a 'great mimicker'. The correct diagnosis hinges on effective collaboration between clinicians and pathologists to correlate pathological and clinical findings. The patient's history, lesion description and diagnostic work-up will help the pathologist interpret the histopathology, whilst the clinician’s diagnosis is aided by a clear understanding the terminology used in the pathology report. The treatment of early and advanced mycosis fungoides and its variants is potentially lifelong, with patients typically cycling among treatments, interspersed with periods of expectant therapy providing palliation and symptomatic relief. Effective management requires knowledge of the wide range of options, how they are used, and their side-effect profile, in order to tailor treatment to the individual patient.

Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) is one of the 'great mimickers'. To be certain of the diagnosis, there must be clear correlation between the pathological and clinical findings, making collaboration between clinicians and pathologists essential. Knowing the patient's history, lesion description and diagnostic work-up will help the pathologist make a more informed decision with respect to the histopathology under the microscope. Likewise, understanding the terminology used in the pathology report will improve the clarity of the clinician’s diagnosis. 'Fast Facts: Diagnosing Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma' is designed to help primary care providers, dermatologists and pathologists speak the same language. With over 100 superb clinical and pathological images, this concise, practical handbook will ensure clear communication with respect to the clinical presentation, histopathology and immunophenotyping of: • early and advanced mycosis fungoides and its variants • Sézary syndrome • other non-mycosis fungoides CTCLs. It is therefore essential reading for all pathologists, non-specialist clinicians and dermatology trainees.

Waldenström macroglobulinemia (shortened to WM) is a rare blood cancer. WM usually progresses slowly; some people do not show symptoms for several years after diagnosis. A person who does not have symptoms usually does not need treatment, but active monitoring is essential so that treatment can be started as soon as it is needed. Although there is no cure for WM, different treatment options can keep the disease under control for many years in a lot of people. Eventually, the treatments tend to lose their effect. New therapies are being tested in clinical trials across the world, with promising results. Table of Contents: • What is Waldenström macroglobulinemia? How will WM affect me? Who is in my care team? What tests will I need to have? Common feelings when diagnosed • Helping yourself • Active monitoring • Starting treatment • Types of treatment • What are supportive treatments? How do I know if treatment has worked? Follow-up after treatment • When WM comes back • Research and new treatments • Understanding WM

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most diagnosed leukemia in the Western world, accounting for approximately 25% of all new leukemia diagnoses. In recent years, remarkable progress has been made in our understanding of both the pathophysiology and genetics of CLL. While the disease generally affects older adults and initially follows an indolent course, cytogenetic and molecular profiling have helped to predict clinical outcomes. Greater prognostication, alongside the development of an increasing armamentarium of novel targeted therapies, has enabled us to provide more personalized management options for patients. 'Fast Facts: Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia' covers the epidemiology, etiology, diagnosis and staging of the disease, and the molecular and genetic aspects that underpin treatment and prognosis. It provides a concise overview of treatment options, in both the front-line and relapsed/refractory settings, with particular focus on the novel targeted agents that have overcome many adverse prognostic factors, improving overall survival. Table of Contents: • Epidemiology and etiology • Molecular biology and genetics • Diagnosis, staging and prognosis • Management • Research directions
