T-Cell and NK-Cell Lymphomas: From Biology to Novel Therapies: Cancer Treatment and Research, cartea 176

en Limba Engleză Hardback – 14 ian 2019

Practica oncologică în domeniul limfoamelor a suferit transformări radicale în ultimul deceniu, trecând de la protocoale de chimioterapie generică la o medicină de precizie, fundamentată pe profilarea moleculară. Considerăm că T-Cell and NK-Cell Lymphomas reprezintă un instrument clinic esențial pentru înțelegerea acestei tranziții, oferind o analiză riguroasă a modului în care biologia sistemului imunitar dictează succesul terapeutic. Volumul, integrat în prestigioasa serie Cancer Treatment and Research, este structurat pentru a răspunde nevoii de specializare într-un domeniu marcat de raritatea și agresivitatea acestor malignități.

Progresia materialului urmează o logică clinică impecabilă: începe cu bazele epidemiologice și patologice, explorează arhitectura genomică și micro-mediul tumoral, pentru ca apoi să dedice capitole individuale subtipurilor specifice, de la PTCL-NOS și AITL la formele rare precum limfomul gamma-delta. Pe linia clinică a lucrării T-Cell Lymphomas de Francine Foss, dar cu un accent mult mai pronunțat pe terapiile biologice noi și pe mecanismele de evadare imunitară, acest volum reușește să sintetizeze date complexe în algoritmi de diagnostic și prognostic. Merită menționată secțiunea finală dedicată transplantului, care oferă o perspectivă actualizată asupra criteriilor de selecție a pacienților și a managementului post-procedural. Stilul este precis, clinic, eliminând ambiguitățile în favoarea datelor bazate pe dovezi, fiind o resursă vitală pentru hematologii care se confruntă cu managementul unor patologii unde standardul de îngrijire este într-o continuă redefinire.

De ce să citești această carte

Recomandăm această lucrare specialiștilor hematologi și oncologi care caută o corelație directă între biologia moleculară și decizia terapeutică la patul bolnavului. Cititorul câștigă o înțelegere profundă a noilor agenți țintiți și a rolului transplantului în limfoamele cu celule T și NK, beneficiind de expertiza unor lideri mondiali în domeniu. Este o investiție necesară pentru rafinarea acurateței prognostice în cazurile complexe de limfoame agresive.

Despre autor

Christiane Querfeld este un expert recunoscut internațional în domeniul limfoamelor cutanate și al biologiei celulelor T, activând în cadrul unor instituții de prestigiu unde coordonează cercetări axate pe micro-mediul tumoral. Steven T. Rosen este un nume de referință în oncologia mondială, cu o carieră dedicată dezvoltării de noi terapii pentru cancer și editării unor serii fundamentale de literatură medicală la editura Springer. Împreună cu Jasmine Zain, aceștia reunesc în acest volum o echipă de specialiști care definesc standardele actuale în hematopatologie și oncologie clinică.

Descriere scurtă

In this book, a group of internationally distinguished lymphoma experts provide a comprehensive review of the most important advances in the biology, diagnosis, and therapy of T cell and NK cell malignancies. In particular, it demonstrates in detail how advances in our understanding of the tumor microenvironment and molecular biology have helped to elucidate the pathogenesis of these lymphomas, improve diagnostic and prognostic accuracy, and develop novel therapies that promise improved patient outcomes. Individual chapters are devoted to particular tumor types and subtypes, and all aspects of transplantation for patients with T cell and NK cell lymphomas are discussed. As such, the book offers a valuable resource for hematologists, oncologists, hematopathologists, and all those seeking an up-to-date overview of how new, targeted therapies are delivering better disease control and improved quality of life.

Notă biografică

Christiane Querfeld, M.D., Ph.D. is a board certified dermatologist and dermatopathologist who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of cutaneous lymphoma. She is the Chief of the Division of Dermatology, Director of the Cutaneous Lymphoma Program, and Assistant Professor at City of Hope National Medical Center. Her clinical practice is dedicated to patients with cutaneous lymphoma. Her research focus has been on investigations of the biology of cutaneous lymphomas and novel therapies for these diseases and she serves as co-principal investigator on several clinical Phase I and II trials of cutaneous T cell lymphomas (CTCL). She is a member of an international collaboration of cutaneous lymphoma experts aimed towards the improved prognostication and characterization of the disease. Her laboratory-based projects are aimed to identify the contributing elements of the tumor microenvironment in CTCL and help elucidate the underlying mechanisms that lead todisease progression through maintenance and proliferation of malignant cells in the skin.
Jasmine Zain is an Associate Clinical Professor of Medicine and the Director of the T- cell-Lymphoma Program at the City of Hope National Medical Center. Her focus is to conduct early phase clinical trials of novel small molecules in the treatment of lymphomas and other hematological malignancies in an attempt to define targeted therapies for this group of diseases. Her particular area of interest is in T cell malignancies and Cutaneous T cell lymphomas. The lymphomas represent a very diverse group of diseases comprised of approximately 65 different sub-types. T cell lymphomas in particular are poorly understood and standard therapies to treat this heterogenous group of over 20 subtypes of diseases is lacking. Jasmin Zain is interested in linking emerging concepts in molecular pathogenesis and molecular pharmacology in T cell lymphomas to clinically relevant information. The major objective is to identify the relevant biological targets which are known to play a critical role in lymphomagenesis, and then to develop targeted small molecules for these agents, with the ultimate goal of evaluating these potential drug candidates in patients. Thus these targeted therapies will be less toxic, and potentially more curative. She is also part of the stem cell transplant program at City of Hope thus allowing a unique opportunity to integrate the work she does to develop targeted therapies in the Lymphoma program with stem cell transplantation.
