Christina Poh, MD

Christina Poh confirmed that the disconnect between provider and patient experiences of shared decision-making resonates strongly with what she observes in clinical practice, noting that while care teams tend to focus on efficacy and side effect profiles, the questions patients ask most frequently are logistical in nature, underscoring that closing this gap requires not only better communication, but also more robust patient navigation support, improved coordination between academic and community settings, and clinical trial designs that better reflect the real-world follicular lymphoma patient population.

Christina Poh discussed how she counsels patients on follicular lymphoma as a chronic, relapsing-remitting disease that is highly treatable, with many patients living for years or even decades with good quality of life, while being transparent that current standard-of-care treatments are unlikely to be curative, framing this honest, forward-looking conversation as the foundation for a long-term therapeutic partnership built on realistic expectations and shared planning.
