In those with DLBCL, Burkitt lymphoma, and Hodgkin lymphoma, cure is often achieved. Furthermore, in the salvage setting, whether auto-HCT or allo-HCT is used, the same appears to be true. A great deal of progress has been made in the treatment of lymphoma in patients with HIV infection, but more remains to be done before outcomes are comparable to those of the general population.
This video reviews the treatment of mantle cell lymphoma cases that do not fit the typical mold.
This video highlights results of a retrospective review that examined survival and other outcomes in younger mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) patients who received consolidation with autologous hematopoietic cell transplant during first remission.
A study presented at the 2017 ASH annual meeting showed that mogamulizumab resulted in significantly superior progression free survival and better outcomes compared with vorinostat in patients with previously treated CTCL.
A proof-of-concept study has demonstrated that resistance to treatment in multiple myeloma and mantle cell lymphoma could be linked to a protein called Nrf1, which appears to respond to proteasome insufficiency or pharmacological inhibition.
In this interview we discuss how a short diagnosis-to-treatment interval in newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is associated with worse outcomes and how this could lead to trials favoring patients with a longer diagnosis-to-treatment interval and better expected outcomes.
Data presented at the 2017 ASH annual meeting revealed that the combination of selinexor and sorafenib appears to be safe with clinical activity in patients with relapsed/refractory FLT3-mutated acute myeloid leukemia.
A potentially practice-changing study presented at 2017 ASH shows high rates of sustained complete response in patients with relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma who were treated with CTL019 CAR T-cell therapy.
Data presented at 2017 ASH showed that mogamulizumab resulted in improved progression free survival (PFS), overall response rates (ORR), and better quality of life in patients with previously treated CTCL compared with vorinostat.
Patients with Hodgkin lymphoma treated with a drug combination including brentuximab vedotin achieved superior progression-free survival, with a reduction in the risk for progression, death, or need for additional anticancer therapy, compared with the standard four-drug chemotherapy regimen.
In this interview, we discuss the biology and the therapeutic strategies for primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma.
A long-term analysis of the FOLL05 trial found favorable outcomes at 8 years in advanced-stage follicular lymphoma patients treated with three different rituximab/chemotherapy combinations.
Use of two BEACOPP regimens that incorporated brentuximab resulted in improved rates of complete response and complete remission at the end of treatment.
Integrating genetic risk factors with minimal residual disease improves the accuracy of risk stratification for children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
Two-year survivors with relapsed Hodgkin lymphoma or diffuse large B-cell lymphoma after transplant had an excess late mortality risk vs the general population.
Novartis has submitted an application to the FDA to extend the indications for its CAR T-cell therapy tisagenlecleucel (Kymriah) for its use in adult patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma who are not eligible for autologous stem cell transplant.
The FDA has granted accelerated approval to acalabrutinib (Calquence) for the treatment of mantle cell lymphoma in adult patients who have received at least one previous therapy.
The number of extranodal sites of disease did not influence outcomes among young patients with high-risk DLBCL treated with rituximab-dose-dense chemotherapy with or without high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem-cell transplantation.
Elderly patients, including those treated with an R-CHOP regimen, tend to have poor outcomes regardless of salvage therapy.
The pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca retracted a paper and acknowledged that some preclinical data were falsified regarding its developmental agent acalabrutinib, which is under investigation for use in a number of malignancies.
The FDA has approved the CAR T-cell therapy axicabtagene ciloleucel (Yescarta) for the treatment of large B-cell lymphomas in adults who have failed or relapsed after two or more prior treatments.
A new study found that Hodgkin lymphoma patients treated with consolidative proton therapy after chemotherapy had “excellent” early relapse-free survival rates and no early grade 3 radiation-related toxicities.
In this interview with Jorge Cortes, MD, he discusses why gemtuzumab ozogamicin is experiencing a comeback for the treatment of patients with acute myeloid leukemia.
There is a high economic burden associated with the treatment of relapsed or refractory Hodgkin lymphoma. A recent study found that patients undergoing treatment for the disease incurred a median total all-cause cost of about $300,000.
Treatment with obinutuzumab along with chemotherapy resulted in longer progression-free survival than rituximab and chemotherapy in patients with previously untreated advanced-stage follicular lymphoma, according to a large randomized trial.
