BackgroundThe popularity of tattoos has increased dramatically over the last few decades. Tattoo ink often contains carcinogenic chemicals, e.g., primary aromatic amines, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and metals. The tattooing process invokes an immunologic response that causes translocation of tattoo ink from the injection site. Deposition of tattoo pigment in lymph nodes has been confirmed but the long-term… Continue reading #Tattoos as a risk factor for malignant #lymphoma: a population-based case–control study

#Nicotinamide enhances natural #killer cell function and yields remissions in patients with non-Hodgkin #lymphoma
Administration of haploidentical donor natural killer (NK) cells, rituximab, and IL-2 to patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) has been shown to be safe, but the objective response rate was low, suggesting that further strategies to improve NK cell engraftment and function are needed. Here, Cichocki and colleagues showed that supplementation with nicotinamide during ex vivo… Continue reading #Nicotinamide enhances natural #killer cell function and yields remissions in patients with non-Hodgkin #lymphoma
Rapid Progression of Angioimmunoblastic T Cell Lymphoma Following BNT162b2 mRNA Vaccine Booster Shot: A Case Report
Since nucleoside-modified mRNA vaccines strongly activate T follicular helper cells, it is important to explore the possible impact of approved SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines on neoplasms affecting this cell type. Herein, we report and discuss unexpected rapid progression of lymphomatous lesions after administration of a BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine booster in a man recently diagnosed with AITL.… Continue reading Rapid Progression of Angioimmunoblastic T Cell Lymphoma Following BNT162b2 mRNA Vaccine Booster Shot: A Case Report
