Lunning and Jacobson Dissect the Role of CAR T-Cell Therapy in Follicular Lymphoma

Author(s):

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.

The Blood Club, hosted by Matthew Lunning, DO, FACP, is a podcast that seeks to translate the latest hematologic oncology research findings into practical clinical implications for the treatment of patients with hematologic malignancies. Dr Lunning is an associate professor in the Division of Oncology & Hematology, associate vice chair of research in the Department of Internal Medicine, and assistant vice chancellor of clinical research at the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha.

In this episode, Dr Lunning sits down with Caron A. Jacobson, MD, MMSc, to discuss challenges that can arise in the management of follicular lymphoma (FL). Dr Jacobson is the medical director of the Immune Effector Cell Therapy Program and a senior physician at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, as well as an associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, both in Boston, Massachusetts.

Drs Lunning and Jacobson discussed the characteristics of FL 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.
