While a few lymphoid neoplasms were characterized by a predominant gene mutation (e.g. Waldenström's macroglobulinemia and hairy cell leukemia), the majority demonstrated a highly diverse genomic landscape with a high number of recurrent mutations. These studies have not only furthered our understanding of the onset and evolution of lymphoid malignances, but also provided us with new biomarkers that can improve diagnostics, prognostication as well as guide clinical decision-making in lymphoid malignancies. In this lecture, I will highlight clinically relevant diagnostic, prognostic and predictive biomarkers that are used today in clinical diagnostics of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), one of the most frequent lymphoid malignancies, also as a basis for treatment decisions on novel targeted therapies. I will also highlight future directions in this rapidly evolving field.","PeriodicalId":154960,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Angiotherapy","volume":"269 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116840123","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Treatment itself often carries significant morbidity and impairs quality of life. There have been few actionable targets for squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck, notably anti-epidermal growth factor receptor monoclonal antibody cetuximab and antiPD1 immunotherapy that have reached clinical use. We studied a polymorphism in the extracellular semaphorin domain of C-MET in the context of SCC head/neck and lung, uncovering a novel mechanism conferring biological aggressiveness and potential for therapeutic intervention. TP53 mutations are the most common somatic mutations in SCCHN and we studied the gain of function mutation p53R158G in the S4 strand of the DNA binding domain, uncovering the mechanism of carcinogenicity. In South East Asia including Malaysia and Singapore, nasopharyngeal carcinoma is associated with EBV and is the commonest head and neck malignancy, with a propensity for recurrence and metastases. We have interest in development of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor therapy as a means to overcome treatment resistance, and some of this work will be described in this presentation.","PeriodicalId":154960,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Angiotherapy","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128935619","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The first immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) anti-CTLA4Ig was approved in 2011 and the first CAR T cell therapy approved in 2017. Since then, 6 more ICIs have been approved across many cancer indications. Tumour mutational burden and microsatellite instability form critical biomarkers for the use of ICIs. In 2022, we are seeing a rise in combination therapies involving ICI. In cell therapy, CAR T cell therapy has made early important inroads in blood cancers. In solid tumours, challenges exist in reaching optimal clinical efficacy. Still, we see glimmers of hope. T Cell Receptor and tumour infiltrating lymphocyte T cell therapy have shown some striking benefit in some patients refractory to further treatments with little further alternatives. Other exciting developments are in the therapeutic areas of T cell engager, antibody drug conjugates and therapeutic cancer vaccines. – where clinical benefits have been achieved. Central in the development of new immunotherapies and generally cancer treatment is a deeper dissection and understanding of the tumour microenvironment, to better elucidate mechanisms, biomarkers, resistance and new targets. Immunotherapy now forms a vital pillar of cancer therapy with a trend towards more combinations showing greater impact. Challenges remain for cost of treatment and manufacturing capabilities. With more supersurvivors and complete remissions with such treatment even in advanced disease, we will surely see a better tomorrow for cancer patients.","PeriodicalId":154960,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Angiotherapy","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131300548","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
