In the LOTIS-5 Phase 3 trial for relapsed/refractory DLBCL, Zynlonta plus rituximab showed a higher death count (27) versus 9 in the control arm among 440 patients, with deaths characterized as treatment-emergent events and not definitively linked to the drug; safety concerns contributed to a more than 50% drop in ADC Therapeutics’ stock to about $1.44, even as the study met its primary endpoint of improved progression-free survival. There was no clear overall survival benefit, though higher response rates were reported. The company said it will discuss a path forward with the FDA and plans a supplemental filing for full approval in Q4.

After an ER visit for stomach pain was first blamed on an ovarian cyst, Giahan Tang’s CT scan later revealed small lesions that pointed to metastatic disease, and a biopsy confirmed stage 4 diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. The 24-year-old underwent an aggressive treatment plan of chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and steroids, enduring fatigue, hair loss and loss of independence before a PET scan showed no detectable lymphoma. She completed six rounds of treatment and is now cancer-free. Tang has been sharing her journey on TikTok to encourage others to listen to their bodies and value health.
A Pilates instructor’s flu-like symptoms led to a diffuse large B-cell lymphoma diagnosis; after initial chemotherapy, the cancer recurred in her brain, but a personalized CAR-T immunotherapy treatment induced complete remission.

He began chemotherapy in December but has paused after four rounds due to severe side effects, and he urges others not to ignore minor symptoms that could signal cancer.
Researchers report cf-EpiTracing, an automated platform that profiles multiple histone modifications in cell-free chromatin from as little as 50 μL of plasma to infer tissues of origin with high accuracy; by integrating an 18-ICS ChromHMM framework across reference epigenomes, it identifies primary diseased tissues, detects organ involvement, enables noninvasive cancer subtyping (DLBCL, FL, MCL), early colorectal lesions, prognosis and therapy-response prediction, and tracks disease transformations and translocations. Validated in CRC, CHD and B-cell lymphoma cohorts, cf-EpiTracing outperforms current clinical indices for prognosis and supports longitudinal monitoring, highlighting a versatile, noninvasive epigenome-centric approach that could be integrated with other cfDNA modalities for enhanced precision.
Emma Operacz, a 21-year-old Eastern Michigan University student, went from thinking she had a UTI to a life-threatening stage IV ALK+ anaplastic large cell lymphoma; after a difficult treatment course that included an experimental drug to cross the blood–brain barrier and a sister-donor bone marrow transplant, she spent months recovering before graduating in December 2025 and beginning a graduate program to work with cancer patients.
