Course of Crohn’s Disease
2015
Crohn’s disease (CD) is an inflammatory bowel disease with a chronic course and it is characterized by different events within time, which are in relation to the heterogeneity of the disease. The main events during the course of disease are activity, remission, relapse, obstruction, fistulizing, surgical resection, cancer and death. Unselected inception cohort studies are the best ones on which rely in order to avoid the selection bias from referral centers. Data produced using inception-cohort have shown a more benign course of CD than expected, an increased risk of surgery over time, with a trend which has been being reduced in the last decades, together with an increased use of biologics…
Effects of B-Cell Lymphoma on the Immune System and Immune Recovery after Treatment: The Paradigm of Targeted Therapy
2022
B-cell lymphoma and lymphoproliferative diseases represent a heterogeneous and complex group of neoplasms that are accompanied by a broad range of immune regulatory disorder phenotypes. Clinical features of autoimmunity, hyperinflammation, immunodeficiency and infection can variously dominate, depending on the immune pathway most involved. Immunological imbalance can play a role in lymphomagenesis, also supporting the progression of the disease, while on the other hand, lymphoma acts on the immune system to weaken immunosurveillance and facilitate immunoevasion. Therefore, the modulation of immunity can have a profound effect on disease progression or resolution, which makes the immune syst…
InterLymph hierarchical classification of lymphoid neoplasms for epidemiologic research based on the WHO classification (2008): update and future dir…
2010
Abstract After publication of the updated World Health Organization (WHO) classification of tumors of hematopoietic and lymphoid tissues in 2008, the Pathology Working Group of the International Lymphoma Epidemiology Consortium (InterLymph) now presents an update of the hierarchical classification of lymphoid neoplasms for epidemiologic research based on the 2001 WHO classification, which we published in 2007. The updated hierarchical classification incorporates all of the major and provisional entities in the 2008 WHO classification, including newly defined entities based on age, site, certain infections, and molecular characteristics, as well as borderline categories, early and “in situ” …
