Kieron M. Dunleavy, MD, on Lymphomas: Genomics and Genetics
2016 Pan Pacific Lymphoma Conference
Kieron M. Dunleavy, MD, of the National Cancer Institute, discusses the genomic landscape of aggressive lymphomas and how this is informing therapy decisions.
Steven P. Treon, MD, PhD, of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, discusses the question of what is the best upfront therapy for lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma/Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia.
Richard I. Fisher, MD, of Fox Chase Cancer Center-Temple Health, discusses this rare disease––with features between classical Hodgkin lymphoma and primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma––and reviews the clinical data on treatment.
Fredrick B. Hagemeister, Jr, MD, of the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, discusses whether rituximab maintenance should be used in indolent lymphomas other than follicular.
Bruce D. Cheson, MD, of Georgetown University Hospital, and Julie M. Vose, MD, MBA, of the University of Nebraska Medical Center, discuss whether lymphoma should be staged with a positron emission tomography (PET) scan and what follow-up scans are needed.
Julie M. Vose, MD, MBA, of the University of Nebraska Medical Center, discusses this evolution of clinical trials, and using genomic methods to direct therapy.
