CD86, the double agent: Significance of CD86 expression in B‐cell malignancies
Abstract Bypassing the anti‐tumor functions of the immune system is one of the keys to tumor survival. Tumors, especially hematological tumors, produce or express factors that retune T and B cells to inhibit the immune response. Coreceptors CD28 and CTLA‐4, and their ligands, CD80 and CD86, are involved in the immunological synapse and play an ...

Mitigating Ibrutinib‐Induced Ventricular Arrhythmia and Cardiac Dysfunction With Metformin
Background Ibrutinib is a first‐line drug that targets Bruton's tyrosine kinase for the treatment of B cell cancer. However, cardiotoxicity induced by ibrutinib is a major side effect that limits its clinical use.

Electrocardiographic Changes Associated With Ibrutinib Exposure
Although ibrutinib-associated atrial and ventricular arrhythmias have been well described, there is little information about ibrutinib’s effects on other electrocardiographic parameters, particularly the QT interval.

Ibrutinib and fungus: an invasive concern [PDF]
In this issue of Blood, Ghez et al report on 33 patients who developed invasive fungal infections during ibrutinib treatment, the majority of which were invasive aspergillosis, which supports the observation that fungal infections are a potential risk with ibrutinib ...

ABSTRACT In chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), treatment initiation is deferred until clinical symptoms emerge, aiming to minimize treatment‐related burden and maintain health‐related quality‐of‐life (QoL). We examined gender differences in QoL among patients undergoing active surveillance versus targeted therapies.

Abstract Background Overall side‐effect impact, the aggregated experience of multiple toxicities, can be captured with the single Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy (FACT) item GP5 (“I am bothered by side effects of treatment”). The objective of this study was to evaluate the ability of item GP5 to indicate treatment tolerability by examining its ...

Insights into PI3K/AKT signaling in B cell development and chronic lymphocytic leukemia
This Review explores how the phosphoinositide 3‐kinase and protein kinase B pathway shapes B cell development and drives chronic lymphocytic leukemia, a common blood cancer. It examines how signaling levels affect disease progression, addresses treatment challenges, and introduces novel experimental strategies to improve therapies and patient outcomes.
