RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Despite that cytogenetic and molecular analysis of tumor cells can rapidly identify recurring molecular abnormalities, no personalized therapy is currently available in the setting of relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (r/r MM). METHODS: MM-EP1 is a retrospective study aimed at comparing a personalized molecular-oriented (MO) versus a non-molecular-oriented (no-MO) approach in r/r MM. Actionable molecular targets and their associated therapies were the BRAF V600E mutation and BRAF inhibitors; t(11;14)(q13;q32) and BCL2 inhibitors; and t(4;14)(p16;q32) with FGFR3 fusion/rearrangements and FGFR3 inhibitors. RESULTS: One hundred three highly pretreated r/r MM patients with a median age of 67 years (range 44-85) were included. Seventeen (17%) patients were treated using an MO approach with BRAF inhibitors (vemurafenib or dabrafenib, n = 6), BCL2 inhibitor (venetoclax, n = 9), or FGFR3 inhibitor (erdafitinib, n = 2). Eighty-six (86%) patients received non-MO therapies. Overall response rate was 65% in MO patients versus 58% in the non-MO group (p = 0.053). Median PFS and OS were 9 and 6 months (HR = 0.96; CI95 = 0.51-1.78; p = 0.88) and 26 and 28 months (HR = 0.98; CI95 = 0.46-2.12; p = 0.98), respectively, in MO and no-MO patients. CONCLUSION: Despite the low number of patients treated with an MO approach, this study highlights the strengths and weakness of a molecular-targeted approach for the treatment of multiple myeloma. Widespread biomolecular techniques and improvement of precision medicine treatment algorithms could improve selection for precision medicine in myeloma.
RESUMEN
Advances in molecular profiling of newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) have recently refine genetic subgroups. Genetic subgroups remain undetermined at the time of relapse or refractory (RR) disease. This study aims to decipher genetic subgroups and search for prognostic molecular biomarkers in patients with RR-DLBCL. From 2015 to 2021, targeted next-generation sequencing analyses of germline-matched tumor samples and fresh tissue from RR-DLBCL patients were performed. Unsupervised clustering of somatic mutations was performed and correlations with patient outcome were sought. A number of 120 patients with RR-DLBCL were included in LNH-EP1 study and a molecular tumor landscape was successfully analyzed in 87% of patients (104/120 tumor samples). The median age was 67.5 years (range 27.4-87.4), median number of previous treatments was 2 (range 1-9). The most frequently mutated genes were TP53 (n = 53 mutations; 42% of samples), CREBBP (n = 39; 32%), BCL2 (n = 86; 31%), KMT2D (n = 39; 28%) and PIM1 (n = 54; 22%). Unsupervised clustering separated three genetic subgroups entitled BST (enriched in BCL2, SOCS1, and TNFRSF14 mutations); TKS (enriched in TP53, KMT2D, and STAT6 mutations); and PCM (enriched in PIM1, CD79B, and MYD88 mutations). Median overall survival (OS) was 11.0 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 8.1-12.6) months. OS was not significantly different between the three genetic subgroups. GNA13 mutant was significantly associated with an increased risk of death (hazard ratio: 6.6 [95% CI: 2.1-20.6]; p = .0011) and shorter OS (p = .0340). At the time of relapse or refractory disease, three genetic subgroups of DLBCL patients were delineated, which could help advance precision molecular medicine programs.

Around 30-50% of classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) cases in immunocompetent individuals from industrialized countries are associated with the B-lymphotropic Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). Although natural killer (NK) cells exhibit anti-viral and anti-tumoral functions, virtually nothing is known about quantitative and qualitative differences in NK cells in patients with EBV+ cHL vs. EBV- cHL. Here, we prospectively investigated 36 cHL patients without known immune suppression or overt immunodeficiency at diagnosis. All 10 EBV+ cHL patients and 25 out 26 EBV- cHL were seropositive for EBV antibodies, and EBV+ cHL patients presented with higher plasma EBV DNA levels compared to EBV- cHL patients. We show that the CD56dim CD16+ NK cell subset was decreased in frequency in EBV+ cHL patients compared to EBV- cHL patients. This quantitative deficiency translates into an impaired CD56dim NK cell mediated degranulation toward rituximab-coated HLA class 1 negative lymphoblastoid cells in EBV+ compared to EBV- cHL patients. We finally observed a trend to a decrease in the rituximab-associated degranulation and ADCC of in vitro expanded NK cells of EBV+ cHL compared to healthy controls. Our findings may impact on the design of adjunctive treatment targeting antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity in EBV+ cHL.

Background: Resistance to anti-PD-1 remains a considerable clinical challenge for the treatment of patients with classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL), and mechanisms of anti-PD-1 resistance remain unknown. This pilot study aims to investigate the tumor microenvironment in patients with cHL relapsing after anti-PD-1. Methods: This study investigated tumor samples of eight patients with cHL, including four patients exposed to anti-PD-1 with a paired longitudinal histological analysis before and after anti-PD-1, and four patients not exposed to anti-PD-1 who served as control for the cellular biological investigations. Fresh cells tumor microenvironment analysis included phenotypic characterization of their T cell surfaces immune checkpoint markers PD-1, PD-L1, ICOS, TIM-3, LAG-3, 41-BB and BTLA. Tumor tissues immunohistochemistry staining included CD30, CD4, CD8, CD68, CD163, PD-L1, PD-1, LAG-3 and TIM-3. Findings: Paired longitudinal tumor tissues analysis in the tumor microenvironment found a CD8+ lymphocytes tumor depletion and an increase of LAG-3 staining after anti-PD-1 exposure. The fresh cells analysis of the tumor microenvironment in patients exposed to anti-PD-1 found CD8+ lymphocyte depletion, with an elevated CD4+/CD8+ lymphocytes ratio (median ratio 9.77 in exposed anti-PD-1 versus 2.39 in not-exposed anti-PD-1 patients; p = 0.0943). On the cell surfaces of CD4+ lymphocytes, the median positive expression of LAG-3 was significantly higher in the samples exposed to anti-PD-1 compared to the controls (15.05 [IQR:17.91-10.65] versus 3.84 [IQR 1.87-6.57]; p = 0.0376). Interpretation: This pilot study proposes hypotheses for understanding the resistance to immunotherapies in patients with Hodgkin lymphoma. Hodgkin lymphoma exposed to anti-PD-1 correlated in tumor microenvironment with an immune depletion of CD8+ T lymphocytes and overexpression of LAG-3 on CD4+ helper T lymphocytes.

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of an attenuated immunochemotherapy regimen based on cytarabine, etoposide and dexamethasone plus rituximab (R-mini-CYVE) in patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). METHODS: We included pretreated adult patients with B-cell NHL who were ineligible for high-dose immunochemotherapy (HDT). Cytarabine and etoposide were given at four different dose levels, depending on the patient's frailty. Up to 8 cycles were administered. RESULTS: Between 2013 and 2019, 56 patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (n = 45, 80%) and indolent B-cell lymphoma (n = 11, 20%) were included. Median age was 75 (range: 36-88). Nineteen patients (35%) had a performance status ≥2. Patients received a median of 4 cycles of R-mini-CYVE. The objective response and the complete response rates were 50% and 33%, respectively. Median progression-free survival and overall survival times were 5.7 (95% CI: 0.5-10.9) and 14.7 (95% CI: 3.5-25.9) months, respectively. Grade ≥3 anaemia, thrombocytopenia and neutropenia occurred in 44%, 55% and 60% of the patients, respectively. The most frequent non-haematological grade ≥3 adverse events were sepsis (21%), fatigue (13%) and cytarabine-related neurotoxicity (5%). CONCLUSION: R-mini-CYVE demonstrated a meaningful antitumour efficacy and an acceptable safety profile in patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell NHL who were ineligible for HDT.

Aim: Anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody is a cornerstone therapy for follicular lymphoma. Following anti-CD20 therapy, a potential decrease in CD20 antigen, and therefore a loss of the tumor target might be expected. However, the incidence and clinical significance of CD20 loss on tumor cells in patients with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma are unknown. This study aims to investigate the incidence and outcome of patients with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma patients harboring the loss of the tumor target, CD20. Methods: All consecutive adult patients with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma referred to the Early Drug Department at Gustave Roussy were included. The main objectives were to assess the incidence and prognosis of the loss in expression of CD20 antigen on the surface of tumor cells on patient outcome. Results: Over the study period 2013-2018, 131 patients were screened for clinical trials with B-cell malignancies in the early drug department of Gustave Roussy in France. Forty-four patients presented with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma and 32 had tumor biopsies at the time of relapse that were retained for analysis. The median (range) age was 67.5 years (55.3-75.3) and the median number of prior anti-cancer systemic therapies was 3 (2-4). At the time of relapse, CD20 expression was positive in 84% of tumors (n = 27) and negative in 16% of tumors (n = 5). At a median follow-up of 18.3 (0.6-83.3) months, CD20 negativity was associated with a poorer prognosis with a median overall survival of 8.9 months (95%CI: 2.4-19.1) in comparison to CD20 positive patients (28.3 months, 95%CI: 25.1-75.3 months, P = 0.019). Conclusion: The loss of the tumor target antigen, CD20, occurred in 16% of patients with relapse or refractory follicular lymphoma. Due to confounding factors in patients who received anti-CD20 immunotherapy, it was not possible to formally establish the prognostic significance of CD20 negativity. However, we suggest that a check for CD20 antigen positivity nevertheless be performed to adapt subsequent therapies for patients with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma.
RESUMEN
INTRODUCTION: After failure of frontline therapy, patients with relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (RR-DLBCL) that does not respond to first-line salvage chemotherapy can be recommended second-line salvage chemotherapy. The available literature in this regard is weak, although many centers routinely offer this type of second-line salvage chemotherapy to their patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This retrospective study included transplant-eligible patients with RR-DLBCL treated at Gustave Roussy between January 2008 and April 2020. Eligible patients were those who received second-line salvage chemotherapy using R-DHAP or R-ICE in patients who experienced an insufficient partial response, stable disease, or progressive disease in response to first-line salvage chemoimmunotherapy using an alternative regimen. RESULTS: Forty-six RR-DLBCL patients received second-line salvage regimen, which yielded an objective response rate of 33%, median progression-free survival of 2.1 months, and overall survival of 11.4 months. Twelve patients proceeded to autologous stem-cell transplantation (ASCT), of whom 70% remained alive 1 year after ASCT. To explore the impact of transplantation, a multivariate analysis (excluding response to the first-line salvage regimen because this covariate was totally embedded within the transplantation covariate), ASCT was associated with progression-free survival (hazard ratio = 0.16; 95% confidence interval, 0.06-0.42) and overall survival (hazard ratio = 0.27; 95% confidence interval, 0.08-0.88). CONCLUSION: Second-line salvage chemotherapy with R-DHAP or R-ICE followed by ASCT leads to a favorable outcome in almost one third of patients with RR-DLBCL and offers a median overall survival of approximately 1 year. These data support the administration of second-line salvage chemotherapy followed by ASCT.

INTRODUCTION: The role of the programmed cell death 1 (PD-1)/programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) axis is well established in classical Hodgkin lymphoma (HL), where PD-1 blockade demonstrated spectacular efficacy in relapsed/refractory disease. However, little is known about the frequency and cellular distribution of other immune checkpoints in HL samples. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Using immunohistochemistry, we investigated, along with PD-L1 and PD-1, the expression of lymphocyte-activation gene 3 (LAG-3) and T-cell immunoglobulin and mucin-domain containing 3 (TIM-3) in 57 biopsy samples of patients with classical HL. RESULTS: Hodgkin and Reed/Sternberg (HRS) cells were strongly positive for PD-L1 in nearly all cases. HRS cells were TIM-3 positive in 36% of samples, whereas LAG-3 was rarely expressed (5.2%). In the microenvironment, PD-1, LAG-3, and TIM-3 were expressed by ≥ 5% of cells in 65%, 98%, and 96% of cases, respectively. T-cell rosettes surrounding HRS cells consisted of CD4+ FoxP3- helper T cells expressing both PD-1 and LAG-3, with a variable expression of TIM-3. CONCLUSION: This study demonstrates for the first time that LAG-3 and TIM-3 are nearly always expressed in the microenvironment of classical HL. This may constitute the basis for targeting LAG-3 or TIM-3 in combination with anti-PD-1 antibodies in the treatment of relapsed/refractory HL.

PURPOSE: In patients with indolent B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (B-NHL), one course of low-dose radiotherapy (LD-RT) 2 × 2 Gy is emerging as new option of therapy in palliative setting. Efficacy of LD-RT when repeated remains to be determinate. This study aims to assess the efficacy of repeated LD-RT given in patients with indolent B-NHL. MATERIALS AND METHODS: All consecutive adult patients who received two or more courses of LD-RT 2 × 2 Gy for indolent B-NHL at Gustave Roussy institution, during the period 1990-2015 were retrospectively investigated. RESULTS: Thirty-three patients received two or more courses of LD-RT for indolent B-NHL during the study period. The median age was 57 (range 37-80) years, histological types were distributed among follicular lymphoma (n = 24 pts; 73%), marginal-zone lymphoma (n = 6 pts; 18%), and primary cutaneous follicle center lymphoma (n = 3 pts; 9%). The median number of low-dose radiation therapy courses given per patients was 2 (range 2-6). The overall response rates following the first and the second course of LD-RT were 96% and 88%, respectively (P = .31). The 1- and 2-years local control rates following the first courses of LD-RT were 94% (CI 95: 86-100) and 94% (CI 95: 86-98); and were 91% (CI 95: 82-100) and 88% (CI 95: 77-100) following the second course of LD-RT (P = .39). CONCLUSION: The repeated courses of LD-RT offered similar efficacy compare with the first course in patients with indolent B-NHL. LD-RT repeated is a simple, easy to give, and non-toxic asset that could be investigated as treatment option in patients with indolent B-NHL.

BACKGROUND: High-dose cyclophosphamide to treat solid refractory tumors demonstrated meaningful activity, while data to treat lymphoma remain scarce. This study aims to assess high-dose cyclophosphamide to treat relapsed or refractory lymphoma. METHODS: A phase II study included adult patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, previously treated by ≥2 prior lines with no other available option of therapy. High-dose cyclophosphamide was given intravenously 3 g/m2 over two consecutive days and repeated once at 28 days in responding patients. Rituximab 375 mg/m2 intravenously was added in patients not refractory to anti-CD20 antibody. RESULTS: Forty-two patients with median age 65 [56-70] years were included. Patients had previously received a median of four lines of therapies. Tumor types were diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (n = 26; 62%), indolent B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (n = 10; 24%), or mantle lymphoma (n = 6; 14%). Hematologic and non-hematologic grade 3-5 toxicities occurred in 42 (100%) and 18 (43%) of patients, respectively. The overall response rate was 45%. CONCLUSION: One to two cycles of high-dose cyclophosphamide in hard-to-treat patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma demonstrated a favorable safety and efficacy profile. This regimen could serve as a bridge to modern cellular therapy with CAR-T cell.

The constitutive expression of CD70 has been described in various haematological and solid tumour types. In addition, the co-expression of its receptor in tumours has been demonstrated, mediating tumour cell proliferation. Although CD70 expression is a prerequisite to enrol patients in solid tumour clinical trials using anti-CD70 immunotherapy, there is currently no standardised test to evaluate CD70 expression. These differences in immunohistochemistry (IHC) protocols make it challenging to compare the expression levels that were obtained in different studies, pointing out the need for one uniform methodology. In this retrospective study, over 600 tumour samples from different solid and haematological malignancies were analysed while using one validated IHC method. CD70 and CD27 expression was demonstrated in a broad range of tumour types. In solid tumours, 43% demonstrated CD70 positivity with the highest degree in renal cell carcinoma (79.5%). Kaposi sarcoma showed no CD70 expression on the tumour cells. In lymphoma samples, 58% demonstrated CD70 positivity. Moreover, the co-expression of CD70 and CD27 was observed in 39% of lymphoma samples. These findings highlight the need to further explore anti-CD70 therapies in a broad range of CD70 expressing tumour types and in doing so, implementing one standardised protocol to define CD70 overexpression to use it as a diagnostic tool.
RESUMEN
The most recent progress in the oncology field has led to a paradigm shift in the management of cancer with the tsunami of immune checkpoint inhibitors that are associated with a particular pattern of immunological adverse events. This is a case of a 54-year-old woman that demonstrated a granulomatous reaction in the same dermatomal distribution of a previously treated shingles infection during treatment with an anti-programmed death 1 agent (pembrolizumab) for a newly diagnosed stage IV Hodgkin lymphoma. The purpose of this case is to increase the awareness of oncologists dealing with a new pattern of side effects taking into account the patient's background and recent exposures to latent viruses such as herpes zoster to prevent unnecessary diagnostic and therapeutic measures.

BACKGROUND: We aimed to define the depth and time of maximal anti-tumour response to programmed death-1 blockade antibodies (anti-PD1) in heavily pre-treated patients with classical Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). To this end, we evaluated the kinetics of response for up to two years. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The 18F-FDG positron-emission tomography (PET) and contrast-enhanced computerised tomography (CECT) data of all relapsed or refractory HL treated at Gustave Roussy, Villejuif, France, from 2013 to 2015 were retrospectively reviewed according to the International Harmonisation Project Cheson 2014 criteria and the LYmphoma Response to Immunomodulatory therapy Criteria (LYRIC). RESULTS: Sixteen patients were included. The median (range) treatment duration was 18.4 (2.8-23.7) months. Fifty-six percent of patients (9/16) achieved an objective response at 3 months, including 19% (3/16) of complete response. Seventeen percent (1/6) of partial responders at 3 months were converted in a complete response. 22% (2/9) of responders at 3 months relapsed before one year. The nadir was reached at 12.7 (3.0-23.0) months. The median (range) depth of response at nadir was -77% (-50% to 100%). CONCLUSION: We concluded that complete metabolic responses occurred within 6 months, a minority of partial responses were converted in complete response, and the median nadir was observed one year after treatment initiation. These data could help to better define the optimal treatment strategy by PET or CECT-directed approaches.

Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is a cancer that mostly affects young people, in which modern therapeutic strategies using chemotherapy and radiotherapy result in a cure rate exceeding 80%. Survivors are exposed to long-term consequences of treatments, such as secondary malignancies and cardiovascular diseases, whose mortality exceeds the one of the disease itself, with long-term follow-up. The current therapeutic strategy in HL, based on the assessment of initial risk factors, is the result of large clinical trials led by the main international cooperating groups. More recently, several groups have tried to develop treatment strategies adapted to the response to chemotherapy, evaluated by interim PET/CT scan. However to date, the combined treatment with chemotherapy followed by radiation therapy remains a standard in most of the above-diaphragmatic localized forms. Immune checkpoint inhibitors, and especially anti-PD1 antibodies, have shown dramatic results in some serious forms of relapsed or refractory HL, with limited toxicity, and may contribute in the future to reduce the toxicities of treatments.

The combination of carmustine, etoposide, aracytin, and melphalan(BEAM) conditioning regimen in autologous stem-cell transplantation (ASCT) is widely used in patients with relapsed/refractory non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and Hodgkin lymphoma. It is also an option in patients with very-high risk aggressive NHL in first complete remission (CR). Recently, a phase Ib-II feasibility study using bendamustine replacing carmustine (BCNU) was reported. We report herein a safety and efficacy analysis of bendamustine-EAM (BeEAM) with a control BEAM counterpart paired cohort (1/2). One hundred and two patients were analyzed. Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were not reached and seemed to be comparable between both groups. However, grade III or greater diarrhea was significantly higher in BeEAM patients (44 vs. 15%, p = .002). The median number of days with fever >38 °C was significantly higher in BeEAM group (5.5 vs. 2, p < .001). This case-control study suggests that BeEAM followed by ASCT using bendamustine at 100 mg/m2/d is effective but has a different toxicity profile than the BEAM regimen.

The response evaluation criteria in patients with Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) were designed for the assessment of chemotherapy and targeted molecular agents. We investigated the accuracy of 3-mo 18F-FDG PET/CT for the identification of HL patients responding to immune-checkpoint blockade by anti-programmed death 1 antibodies (anti-PD1). We also reported the frequency of new immune patterns of response and progression. Methods: Retrospectively, we recruited consecutive HL patients treated by anti-PD1 (pembrolizumab or nivolumab) at Gustave Roussy from 2013 to 2015. 18F-FDG PET/CT and contrast-enhanced CT scans were acquired every 3 mo. We recorded the best overall response according to the International Harmonization Project Cheson 2014 criteria and LYmphoma Response to Immunomodulatory therapy Criteria (LYRIC) (2016 revised criteria). Patients achieving an objective response at any time during the anti-PD1 treatment were classified as responders. Results: Sixteen relapsed or refractory classic HL patients were included. The median age was 39 y (age range, 19-69 y). The median previous lines of therapy was 6 (range, 3-13). The mean follow-up was 22.6 mo. Nine of 16 patients (56%) achieved an objective response. Two deaths occurred due to progressive disease at 7 mo. 18F-FDG PET/CT detected all responders at 3 mo and reclassified best overall response in 5 patients compared with CT alone. A decrease in tumor metabolism and volume (SUVmean, metabolic tumor volume) and increase in healthy splenic metabolism at 3 mo were observed in responders (area under the curve > 0.85, P < 0.04). Five of 16 patients (31%) displayed new imaging patterns related to anti-PD1; we observed 2 transient progressions consistent with indeterminate response according to the LYRIC (2016) (IR2b at 14 mo and IR3 at 18 mo) and 3 patients with new lesions associated with immune-related adverse events. Conclusion: Three-month 18F-FDG PET/CT scans detected HL patients responding to anti-PD1. New patterns were encountered in 31% of patients, emphasizing the need for further evaluation in larger series and close collaboration between imaging and oncology specialists on a per-patient basis.

Background Although safety and prognostic factors for overall survival (OS) have been extensively studied in Phase I clinical trials on patients with solid tumours, data on lymphoma trials are scarce. Here, we investigated safety, outcomes and prognostic factors in relapsed or refractory lymphoma patients included in a series of Phase I trials. Method and patients All consecutive adult patients with recurrent/refractory lymphoma enrolled in 26 Phase I trials at a single cancer centre in France between January 2008 and June 2016 were retrospectively assessed. Results 133 patients (males: 65%) were included in the analysis. The median (range) age was 65 (23-86). Aggressive non-Hodgkin, indolent non-Hodgkin and Hodgkin types accounted for 64%, 25% and 11% of the patients, respectively. The patients had received a median (range) of 3 (1-13) lines of treatment prior to trial entry. The median [95% confidence interval] progression-free survival and OS times were 3.0 [1.8-3.6] and 17.8 [12.7-30.4] months, respectively. High-grade toxicity (grade 3 or higher, according to the National Cancer Institute's Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events classification) was experienced by 56 of the 133 patients (42%) and was related to the investigational drug in 44 of these cases (79%). No toxicity-related deaths occurred. Dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) was encountered in 11 (9%) of the 116 evaluable patients. High-grade toxicity occurred during the DLT period for 34 of the 56 patients (61%) and after the DLT period in the remaining 22 (39%). The main prognostic factors for poor OS were the histological type (i.e. tumour aggressiveness), an elevated serum LDH level, and a low serum albumin level. Early withdrawal from a trial was correlated with the performance status score, the histological type and the serum LDH level. The overall objective response and disease control rates were 24% and 57%, respectively. Conclusion Performance status, LDH, albumin and histological type (tumour aggressiveness) appear to be the most relevant prognostic factors for enrolling Phase I participants with relapsed or refractory lymphoma. 39% of the patients experienced a first high-grade toxic event after the dose-limiting toxicity period, suggesting that the conventional concept of dose-limiting toxicity (designed for chemotherapy) should be redefined in the era of modern cancer therapies.
