Problem: these classification tools are not accessible to vast majority of oncologists (particularly in the community where majority of DLBCL is treated). Very challenging to say from the podium that we should be doing this in routine clinical practice. #lymsm #18ICML 1/
#18ICML LBA: DLBclass stratification of POLARIX - Cluster 5 DLBCL had superior PFS with pola-R-CHP vs R-CHOP (including in MV model) - C5: ABC-type, +BCL2, CD79Bmut, MYD88mut, extranodal #lymsm
Baseline A-HIPI is prognostic across HL disease course and high risk patients are at higher risk of adverse outcomes than lower risk even after achieving an iPET negative scan or achieving CR after EOT. #ASH24 #lymsm #HL
Lonca + glofi in R/R LBCL @JuanAlderuccio #18ICML - 41 pts, 55% IPI 3+, 20% prior CAR - no G5 TEAEs, 6 dc'd d/t AEs - 1 G3 CRS, no G3+ ICANS - ORR 93%, DOR NR (25/26 CRs remained in CR) Looking forward to longer f/u. #lymsm
🧵 Game-changer for older #HodgkinLymphoma patients (≥60 yrs)! In the SWOG S1826 trial, Nivolumab-AVD outperformed Brentuximab-AVD in advanced-stage cHL: 🔹 2-yr PFS: 89% vs 64% 🔹 2-yr OS: 96% vs 85% 🔹 Better tolerance, less non-relapse mortality (6% vs 16%) ✅ N-AVD is now…
