TLDR
In this paper, the authors tried to establish whether intratumoral macrophage count (MC) definitely is able to predict the outcome of FL patients in the rituximab era.Abstract:
Purpose High amounts of intratumoral macrophages have been shown to correlate with poor prognosis in patients with follicular lymphoma (FL) treated with chemotherapy without rituximab. We tried to establish whether intratumoral macrophage count (MC) definitely is able to predict the outcome of FL patients in the rituximab era. Patients and Methods We analyzed immunohistochemical CD68 expression in 194 FL patients from the FL-2000 trial, randomly assigned to receive cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, etoposide, prednisolone, and interferon (CHVP-I) or rituximab plus CHVP-I. Immunohistochemistry was performed on paraffin sections using anti-CD68 KP1 antibody, and stained macrophages were scored on high-power field (hpf) in either intrafollicular (IF) or extrafollicular (EF) areas. Results For IF MC, the best cutoff point was estimated at 10 macrophages/hpf. Low IF MC was significantly associated with a better event-free survival (EFS; P = .011). However, this effect was observed only in the CHVP-I arm (P = .012...read more

Tumor-Infiltrating Dendritic Cells in Cancer Pathogenesis
TL;DR: Dendritic cells play a pivotal role in the tumor microenvironment, which is known to affect disease progression in many human malignancies, and promising developments in cancer-therapeutic strategies targeting tumor-infiltrating DCs to subdue their immunosuppressive functions and enhance their immune-stimulatory capacity are proposed.

Pathogenesis of follicular lymphoma
TL;DR: Crosstalk between neoplastic B cells and non-neoplastic immune and stromal cells in the microenvironment plays an important role in sustaining tumor cell growth, cultivating immune privilege, and promoting transformation.

M2 macrophages phagocytose rituximab-opsonized leukemic targets more efficiently than m1 cells in vitro
Marzia Leidi,Elisa Gotti,Luca Bologna,Elena Miranda,Monica Rimoldi,Antonio Sica,Massimo Roncalli,Giuseppe A. Palumbo,Martino Introna,Josée Golay +9 more
TL;DR: The data suggest that cytokines secreted by lymphoma cells can favor alternate activation of macrophages with a high phagocytic capacity toward rituximab-opsonized targets.

Mechanisms of action of CD20 antibodies
TL;DR: There is an urgent need to improve the efficacy of CD20 mAbs because not every patient respond to RTX treatment and eventually the overwhelming majority will experience a relapse.

Macrophage polarization: tumor-associated macrophages as a paradigm for polarized M2 mononuclear phagocytes

TL;DR: These functionally polarized cells, and similarly oriented or immature dendritic cells present in tumors, have a key role in subversion of adaptive immunity and in inflammatory circuits that promote tumor growth and progression.

TL;DR: Standardized guidelines for response assessment are needed to ensure comparability among clinical trials in non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL), and two meetings were convened among United States and international lymphoma experts to develop a uniform set of criteria for assessing response in clinical trials.
