This summary will not address indolent lymphoma as this will be covered in another article in this ASH special.

Phosphoinositide 3-kinase inhibitors represent a new group of promising targeted therapies for malignant hemopathies and primarily lymphoproliferative disorders. This short report summarises recent knowledge on the mechanism of action, the rationale to use it in humans bearing malignant hemopathies and preliminary clinical trials’ data that led to the Food and Drug Administration approval of one of these compounds (idelalisib).

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is a frequent pathology in older individuals, and though curable by R-CHOP 21, treatment toxicity increases in frail patients. Therefore, therapeutic choices have to take into account Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment in addition to Performance Status, but reliable and standardised clinical decision-making tools are sorely lacking. However, Mabthera-containing treatments adapted for frail patients and co-morbidities can be used with a satisfactory survival rate at two years. Nevertheless, the main cause of death remains disease progression.
