Immunotherapeutic agents play an increasingly important role in the treatment of B-cell malignancies. CD19 and CD20 are common targets for lymphoid malignancies, though patients who relapse have few therapeutic options remaining. CD22 is a cell surface sialoglycoprotein uniquely present on B-cells and regulates B-cell function and proliferation. Thus, it is an appealing therapeutic target for autoimmune disorders and B-cell malignancies. A variety of therapies targeting CD22 have been developed, including monoclonal antibodies, antibody-drug conjugates, radioimmunoconjugates, chimeric antigen receptor T cells, and bispecific antibodies. Here, we review the biology of CD22 and key therapies targeting CD22 in lymphoid malignancies.

This is the first study to elucidate that 2-FG treatment in retinoblastoma produces an impact on hypoxia and a concomitant decrease on tumor burden. In this study, the authors validate their previous studies by revealing that glycolytic inhibitors effectively target hypoxia in retinoblastoma tumors. The future application of 2-FG as an adjuvant treatment to standard chemotherapy may enhance the treatment of retinoblastoma.

Delivery of RT for children at EOL is complex. Frequency of RT at EOL in children occurs in is <2% of cases, and is not significantly less frequent in the proton milieu. This appears to be about an order of magnitude less than in adults.
