3rd Rock the Vote case at #PPLC24: 65 yo fit M with stage IVA mantle cell lymphoma, MIPI high risk, Ki67 30%, no del 17p or TP53 mutation. BTKi + chemo takes the win. Excellent presentations by everyone!
2nd Rock the Vote case at #PPLC24: 61 yo M with usual comorbidities, stage IVB DLBCL (BM involvement), GCB-subtype, IPI 3, MYC/BCL6 rearrangements (no longer considered double hit in WHO 5 but provisional in ICC 2022). Pola-R-CHP wins the round.
Loving these Rock the Vote debates at #PPLC24 on controversial first line lymphoma treatments. First case was 22 yo F with stage IVB cHL, IPS 3. Dr. Herrera made a fantastic case for Nivo-AVD (78.7% agreed).
๐๐ Super kudos to @UMNCancer Dr. Bachanova for leading this #HL clinical trial for the @BigTenCRC (together w/ @UIowaCancer Dr Farooq & @UWCarbone Dr Kenkere).
๐๐Amazing translational science.
โก๏ธThe Big 10 CRC #lymphoma team is just getting started! https://t.co/ou6PxcEVkx
Amazing keynote lecture at the ICML-ESMO Lymphoma Workshop on the history and future of lymphoma staging and response assessment by the legendary Dr. Cheson himself!! ๐คฉ Looking forward to the Lugano 2.0 classification! #17ICML#lymsm@icmlugano
FDA approved axicabtagene ciloleucel (Yescarta, Kite Pharma, Inc.) for adult patients with large B-cell lymphoma refractory to 1st line chemoimmunotherapy or relapses within 12 months of 1st line chemoimmunotherapy.

Where are we after 20 years of R-CHOP in DLBCL?
Update from #ASH21 with the POLARIX trial demonstrating a PFS benefit with pola-R-CHP vs R-CHOP (HR 0.73; p<0.02) but no difference in OS. #lymsm
Great study which we @UMNHOT contributed to.
Overall 2-year PFS 51% and OS 68%, with no difference in outcomes between R-CHOP vs R-EPOCH as 1st-line tx. Highlights the need for more prospective data and better treatment strategies!

Zayac - HBGL-NOS characteristics & outcomes
- 126, med age 64
- Age-adjusted IPI, stage, EN sites prognostic
- in whole cohort, no diff R-CHOP / DA-EPOCH-R
- de novo BL-like, DA-EPOCH assoc with โฌ๏ธ PFS but not OS (also small group)
Rare and difficult group.

.@mattwilson2287 showing that intercalated HDMTX does not result in lower CNS relapses than EOT HDMTX in 1384 pts.
Valuable data in the selective pts that may still be considered for HDMTX
Great work.
Huge collaborative international effort!
#DLBCL#ASH21#lymsm
We just saw very impressive efficacy of mosunetuzumab in R/R FL, now glofitamab in this bispecific oral session! ORR 81% as monotherapy and 100% in combination with obinutuzumab in pts with median 3 lines of prior therapy.
CRS 79% in the combo group, all G1/2.

Just published @NEJM
A striking 90% reduction in death for booster shots (vs not receiving the 3rd shot) among over 840,000 people, age 50 or older
