Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Hematologic malignancies are cancers that originate in hematopoietic tissues (such as bone marrow) or cells of the immune system. There are three main types of hematological malignancies: leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma. There are increasing reports that hematological malignancies, such as leukemia and lymphoma, afflict millions of adults and children every year, and are often deadly. Therefore, it is increasingly urgent to explore emerging therapy methods to treat hematologic malignancies.

This Special Issue will focus a broad range of innovative treatments, including bispecific antibodies, new monoclonal antibodies, CAR-T cells, small molecules in targeted cancer therapy, immunoconjugates, targeted drugs, immunotherapy, tyrosine kinase inhibitors, amongst others.

This Special Issue aims to provide a discussion platform for the diagnosis and treatment of hematological malignancies in personalized medicine and to promote academic exchanges and experience sharing of personalized medicine in hematological malignancies. In this Special Issue, we aim to focus on personalized medicine for hematologic malignancies; original research articles, review articles, etc., are welcome.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Personalized Medicine is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs).

The advent of targeted therapies such as monoclonal antibodies, adoptive T-cell therapies, and antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs) dramatically changed the treatment landscape of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) over the last two decades. Rituximab was the first one approved. Chimeric antigen receptor T-cells are currently approved as second-line treatment in patients with DLBCL refractory to first-line chemo-immunotherapy. Polatuzumab, a CD79b-targeting ADC, is approved as first-line treatment in high-risk patients in combination with chemo-immunotherapy. Bispecific antibodies (BsAbs) are a novel category of drugs that are also changing the treatment paradigm of patients with DLBCL. They are engineered to bind to two different targets at the same time. To date, two BsAbs (glofitamab and epcoritamab) are approved as monotherapy in third-line treatment in DLBCL. Combination strategies with chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and ADCs are currently under investigation with encouraging results in first-line or subsequent lines of treatment. In the following review, we focus on the structure of BsAbs, the mechanism of action, clinical efficacy, and the mechanisms of resistance to BsAbs. Full article
