Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) can be caused by multiple factors, including virus and autoimmune function, which in turn trigger persistent activation of the B-cell receptor (BCR) signaling pathway and other related signaling pathways, which collectively promote malignant B-cell proliferation and lead to tumor formation. Studies have shown significant progress in the treatment of primary and relapsed/refractory DLBCL with Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor (BTKi) in combination with chemotherapy, immunotherapy and small molecule inhibitors in the setting of poor outcome with BTKi monotherapy. This article reviews the progress of BTKi combined regimens in DLBCL.

The FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) gene mutation is the most common genetic mutation in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and is associated with poor prognosis. Various targeted inhibitors have been developed for FLT3 mutations and have shown promising clinical efficacy. However, the emergence of resistance poses new challenges for targeted therapy in AML. This article provides an overview of the pathological and prognostic role of FLT3 mutations in AML, the current research progress on commonly used FLT3 inhibitors (type I and type II), the mechanisms of FLT3 inhibitor resistance, and strategies for overcoming resistance.
