Flow-sorting and Exome Sequencing of the Reed-Sternberg Cells of Classical Hodgkin Lymphoma

Abstract:
ABVD regimen has been established as a standard therapy for Hodgkin lymphoma, and over 70% of patients with Hodgkin lymphoma would be curable. But some refractory diseases still exist. Recent developments of molecular target agents have been expecting to improve the clinical outcomes of Hodgkin lymphoma. Anti CD30 antibody-drug conjugate, brentuximab vedotin, is a promising drug for relapsed and refractory Hodgkin lymphoma, and is also explored to be incorporated into first line therapy. Small molecules such as HDACIs and mTOR inhibitors have been proved as active agents for relapsed diseases. Standard care of Hodgkin lymphoma could be changed in next decade by these molecular targeting agents.

Secondary Lymphoid Organs
The spleen is a vital organ in the lymphatic system, nestled in the upper left side of the abdomen. It is composed of two primary regions: the red pulp and the white pulp, each having distinct functions. The red pulp performs a significant role in blood filtration. It efficiently purges the blood of old or damaged red blood cells and...
