Southern blotting and polymerase chain reaction are being used for detecting B- and T-cell clonality in lymphoproliferative diseases, including mantle cell lymphoma and lymphoma of the breast (Medeiros and Carr, 1999). Molecular genetic tests are currently important ancillary tools for the diagnosis and classification of malignancy, and their role is likely to increase in the future.

Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL). Although MCL is considered an indolent lymphoma, the median survival is less than for the other indolent tumors. The disease is primarily nodal however, the peripheral blood is involved in about 25% of cases. The benign counterpart is unknown (S31). 

Mantle cell lymphoma cells are generally small to medium-sized lymphoid cells with variably irregular nuclear contours and a scant amount of cytoplasm. Morphologically, MCL cells can be difficult to distinguish from those of CLL/SLL,...

Another small-molecule pan-Bcl-2 inhibitor that mimicks BH3-only proteins, GX15-070 (developed by GeminX, Montreal, Canada) (Fig. 3k), was shown to be a potent apoptosis inducer in breast cancer, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, multiple myeloma, and mantle cell lymphoma cell lines (76-79).

A 59-year-old woman with mantle-cell lymphoma and no hepatic involvement took a range of unconventional medicines (8). During a routine check-up she had raised liver enzymes, and self-medication with cat s claw was deemed the most likely cause. Cat s claw was withdrawn and her liver tests normalized within 60 days.
