Brad S. Kahl, MD, discusses current best practices for the treatment of older patients with mantle cell lymphoma, as well as where the treatment paradigm might lead in the future.
Brad S. Kahl, MD, explains the evolution of mantle cell lymphoma treatment over the past decade and lays out the trajectory for future therapies, including the potential benefits of lenalidomide in the maintenance setting.
Zanubrutinib was found to significantly improve progression-free survival over a doublet comprised of bendamustine plus rituximab in patients with treatment-naïve chronic lymphocytic leukemia and small lymphocytic lymphoma, according to data from cohort 1 of the phase 3 SEQUOIA trial.
