Abstract:
Adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) is an exceedingly refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma. Despite the approval of a few new drugs for managing patients with newly diagnosed or relapsed/refractory ATL in recent years, the prognosis has yet to be substantially ameliorated. This study focuses on recent topics on the development of innovative therapies and the identification of prognostic indicators, considering the recent elucidation of the pathogenesisof ATL. Specifically, this study also delineates the advancements in developing novel EZH1/2 inhibitors and comprehensive genetic analysis; the molecular pathogenesis determined through comprehensive gene knockdown and knockout techniques, with its potential as a therapeutic target; the latest discoveries from the analysis of super-enhancer regions; and the prognostic factors extracted from comprehensive genetic analysis.

Tumor Progression
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...
