Dr Lunning sits down with Alex Herrera, MD, to discuss the frontline management of Hodgkin lymphoma, including the SWOG 1826 trial.

Drs Lunning and Brander discuss the evolution of chronic lymphocytic leukemia management.

Drs Lunning and Maddocks discuss the management of MCL in the up-front setting.

Drs Lunning and Mehta-Shah highlight challenges that arise when diagnosing patients with peripheral T-cell lymphoma and how molecular testing results influence induction and consolidation treatment approaches for patients with ALK-negative anaplastic large cell lymphoma.

Drs Lunning and Jacobson discuss the characteristics of follicular lymphoma that may prompt aggressive treatment, the potential optimal role of CAR T-cell therapy in the third line and beyond, and how the toxicity profiles of different CAR T-cell products compare with each other.

Drs Lunning and Nastoupil discuss the ins and outs of diagnostic workups for patients with follicular lymphoma; how to discern which patients may benefit most from standard chemotherapy vs clinical trial regimens in the frontline setting; and ongoing follicular lymphoma research that may alter the treatment paradigm.

Dr Lunning sits down with Kamdar to discuss the design of the POLARIX trial, the ways in which its results have changed their practice when treating patients with DLBCL, and the importance of further research investigating the molecular heterogeneity of DLBCL to determine potential causes of early relapse with pola-R-CHP.

Dr Lunning sits down with Jeremy Abramson, MD, to discuss treatment options for patients with LBCL following relapse on their initial therapies, the potential role of surveillance imaging in certain subsets of this population, and the challenging differences that arise when treating patients with cellular therapy in clinical trials vs in the real-world setting.

In this inaugural episode, Dr Lunning details important findings to come out of the Pan Pacific Lymphoma Conference, including results evaluating prophylactic medications in the management of patients with hematologic malignancies receiving cellular therapy or autologous stem cell transplant.
