Abstract
Relapsed/Refractory (R/R) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is an aggressive disease with poor prognosis and limited therapeutic options. High-dose chemotherapy with autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (autoHCT) was historically the curative-intent treatment for patients who demonstrated chemosensitivity to salvage therapy. However, a significant portion of patients do not make it autoHCT due to disease progression or overall fitness and eligibility. This is of particular concern in the older adult population. In recent years, significant advances in cellular therapies including chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cells and bispecific antibodies, in addition to improvement in autoHCT tolerability, have allowed for additional treatment options for patients with R/R DLBCL. These novel therapies offer the potential for durable remissions and cure, and should be considered in older patients. We present a review focused on the safety and efficacy of cellular therapies in the older adult population with R/R DLBCL.
期刊介绍:
Cancer Imaging and Diagnosis is dedicated to the publication of results from clinical and research studies applied to cancer diagnosis and treatment. The section aims to publish studies from the entire field of cancer imaging: results from routine use of clinical imaging in both radiology and nuclear medicine, results from clinical trials, experimental molecular imaging in humans and small animals, research on new contrast agents in CT, MRI, ultrasound, publication of new technical applications and processing algorithms to improve the standardization of quantitative imaging and image guided interventions for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer.
