Syed A. Abutalib, MD, and Nelli Bejanyan, MD, on Adult ALL and Consolidation Chemotherapy: Results From a CIBMTR Study
2016 ASH Annual Meeting & Exposition
Syed A. Abutalib, MD, of Cancer Treatment Centers of America, and Nelli Bejanyan, MD, of the University of Minnesota, discuss findings from a study conducted by the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research on treatment for ALL patients, with an available donor, undergoing myeloablative allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation in first complete remission (Abstract 684).
Martin Schrappe, MD, of Christian-Albrechts University Kiel, discusses study findings on reduced intensity delayed intensification in standard-risk patients defined by minimal residual disease in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Abstract 4).
Jeffrey E. Lancet, MD, of the H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute, discusses study findings on survival following allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation in older, high-risk acute myeloid leukemia patients initially treated with CPX-351 liposome injection vs standard cytarabine and daunorubicin (Abstract 906).
Jonathon Cohen, MD, and Sagar Lonial, MD, both of Emory University, discuss study findings on R-CHOP vs DA-EPOCH-R and molecular analysis of untreated diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (Abstract 469).
Marie Bleakley, MD, PhD, of Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, discusses data on using naive T-cell depletion of peripheral blood stem cells, which led to very low rates of chronic graft-vs-host-disease and high survival (Abstract 668).
Steven Le Gouill, MD, PhD, of Nantes University Hospital and INSERM, discusses in French study findings from the Lysa/Goelams Group on rituximab maintenance after autologous stem cell transplantation in younger patients with mantle cell lymphoma (Abstract 145).
