Abstract
In the decade since publication of the Lugano Classification (Cheson et al, J Clin Oncol 2014,32:3059–3068; Barrington et al, J Clin Oncol 2014, 32:3048–3058), major advances in lymphoma therapy and assessment, including metabolic tumor volume (MTV) and circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) prompted a workshop at the International Conference on Malignant Lymphoma-17 entitled “Lugano Classification: Looking Toward the Future”, to determine whether a revision was warranted and what it should look like. This report summarizes the conclusions of that workshop and a subsequent questionnaire of the participants. It was concluded that, whereas, minor modifications could be made now, the current classification should remain the standard until the clinical benefit of MTV and ctDNA are firmly established and practical considerations demonstrated. An ICML sponsored standing committee will monitor progress and ensure that a revision of the Lugano Classification will be proposed when warranted.
期刊介绍:
Hematological Oncology considers for publication articles dealing with experimental and clinical aspects of neoplastic diseases of the hemopoietic and lymphoid systems and relevant related matters. Translational studies applying basic science to clinical issues are particularly welcomed. Manuscripts dealing with the following areas are encouraged:
-Clinical practice and management of hematological neoplasia, including: acute and chronic leukemias, malignant lymphomas, myeloproliferative disorders
-Diagnostic investigations, including imaging and laboratory assays
-Epidemiology, pathology and pathobiology of hematological neoplasia of hematological diseases
-Therapeutic issues including Phase 1, 2 or 3 trials as well as allogeneic and autologous stem cell transplantation studies
-Aspects of the cell biology, molecular biology, molecular genetics and cytogenetics of normal or diseased hematopoeisis and lymphopoiesis, including stem cells and cytokines and other regulatory systems.
Concise, topical review material is welcomed, especially if it makes new concepts and ideas accessible to a wider community. Proposals for review material may be discussed with the Editor-in-Chief. Collections of case material and case reports will be considered only if they have broader scientific or clinical relevance.
