The study shows the safety and long-term efficacy of auto-HCT, even in patients with high-risk cHL who are traditionally considered chemotherapy refractory. ow.ly/HTmq50U5zj6 #lymphoidneoplasia #transplantation

Multicenter CNS involvement in HGBL NOS @NEpperla: - 160 pts, 7% baseline CNSi - CNSi➡️MYC-R, testicular/female pelvic - no diff in PFS/OS for CNSi vs not (2-yr PFS 53-55%) - 11% CNS relapse at 3 years - mOS 6-7 mos at relapse regardless of CNSi #lymsm ashpublications.org/bloodadv…

We are looking forward to working on this more- adding ⬆️ cases & analyses (45-49% vs <45% split was arbitrary but may be relevant). Much more work in this area is needed as these #lymphoma pts are often excluded from clinical trials. @NEpperla @DrRaulCordoba #ASH23 #CardioOnc
Annunzio et al: cHL & cardiomyopathy - 16 US ctrs, pts with EF < 50% - split 45-49% & < 45% (approx 50:50 split) - More likely to have anthracycline (AC) younger, better PS, EF 45-49% - AC assoc with much better PFS & OS Only drop the AC when you really have to! #ASH23 #lymsm

#ScienceSaturday Can dietary nutrients help the immune system kill #cancer cells? In this study, researchers screened 255 circulating nutrients for the ability to enhance T cell activity and found that the long-chain fatty acid TVA (Trans-vaccenic acid) could enhance the activity of CD8-positive “killer” T cells against cancer. This impressive work has significant implications for cancer #immunotherapy and beyond. Here’s a link to the full article. nature.com/articles/s41586-0…
