Allergy and risk of hematologic malignancies: associations and mechanisms.

TLDR
The aim of this review is to report the preclinical and clinical data, which support a correlation between allergy and hematologic neoplasms, and to suggest that immune system modulation could represent a powerful tool in the prevention and treatment of hematological malignancies.

Lymphoproliferative disease and cancer among patients with common variable immunodeficiency.

TL;DR: The latest insights into the links between common variable immunodeficiency (CVI) and malignancies are discussed, including genetics, immune dysregulation, radiosensitivity and chronic infections such as Helicobacter pylori, EBV, human herpes virus type 8 and cytomegalovirus.

An Updated Review on Cancer Risk Associated with Incretin Mimetics and Enhancers

TL;DR: Based on current evidence, continuous monitoring of the cancer issues related to incretin-based therapies is required, even though the benefits may outweigh the potential cancer risk in the general patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Allergic disease, corticosteroid use, and risk of Hodgkin lymphoma: A United Kingdom nationwide case-control study.

TL;DR: Findings add to the growing evidence that immune system malfunction after allergic disease or immunosuppression is central to HL development.

Vaccination strategies in lymphoproliferative disorders: Failures and successes

TL;DR: The addition of immunotherapy to old and new chemotherapy regimens has improved both response rates and disease-free survival, leading in many cases to an extended overall survival.

Transplacental Priming of the Human Immune System to Environmental Allergens: Universal Skewing of Initial T Cell Responses Toward the Th2 Cytokine Profile

TL;DR: These findings imply that the key etiologic factor in atopic disease may not be the initial acquisition of allergen-specific Th2-skewed immunity per se, but instead may be the efficiency of immune deviation mechanisms, which in normal (nonatopic) individuals redirect these fetal immune responses toward the Th1 cytokine phenotype.

Clonal Diseases of Large Granular Lymphocytes

TL;DR: Three distinct clinical syndromes occur in patients with increased numbers of circulating LGL, and X-linked gene analyses have supported a polyclonal LGL lymphocytosis in this syndrome.

Inhibition of STAT3 signaling leads to apoptosis of leukemic large granular lymphocytes and decreased Mcl-1 expression

TL;DR: It is concluded that STAT3 activation contributed to accumulation of the leukemic LGL clones by inducing apoptosis with the JAK-selective tyrosine kinase inhibitor AG-490 and using an antisense oligonucleotide approach to diminish STAT3 expression.
