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 M. Horwitz, MD, of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, reviews the data supporting current treatment approaches for T-cell lymphomas and discusses the specific subtype criteria used to individualize therapy.
Jonathan W. Friedberg, MD, of the University of Rochester Medical Center, discusses the use of rituximab as a single agent and in combination with chemotherapy, the emerging role of novel agents, and some possible explanations for the small subset of patients with inferior outcomes.
James O. Armitage, MD, of the University of Nebraska Medical Center, discusses how an increased understanding of the biology of lymphomas and their multiple subtypes has had a major impact on the ability to treat patients.
Wyndham H. Wilson, MD, PhD, of the National Cancer Institute, discusses the molecular underpinnings of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and targeted treatments.
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.
