Autologous Transplant or Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cell Therapy for Patients with Relapsed/Refractory Large B-cell Lymphoma: How to Choose?

Hematology

Watch our latest webinar, a valuable resource for clinicians navigating the complex decisions surrounding autologous transplant and chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapy.  

Expert Madiha Iqbal, Consultant and Assistant Professor of Medicine, Mayo Clinic, Jacksonville, Florida, USA, presents on the treatment landscape for large B-cell lymphoma, and discusses the advantages and limitations of these two approaches for both clinicians and patients. 

Themes covered include:  

  • the paradigm shift in large B-cell lymphoma; 
  • limitations of haematopoietic cell transplant, and the evolution of chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapy; and 
  • how to approach chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapy compared to autologous haematopoietic cell transplant in large B-cell lymphoma.
