In part 1 of our interview with Anna Sureda, MD, PhD, president of the European Group for Blood and Marrow Transplantation, she summarized the current treatment landscape for relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (R/R DLBCL) and follicular lymphoma (FL).

David P. Carbone, MD, PhD, director of the thoracic oncology center at The Ohio State University in Columbus, discusses the importance of biomarker testing in both lung cancer overall and non–small cell lung cancer specifically.

In this analysis, outcomes were investigated among 41 pediatric and young adult patients who had soft-tissue sarcoma and were aged 0 months to 22 years.

In part 1 of this interview, Musarrat Perveen, regional coordinator at Coordination of Action Research on AIDS and Mobility in Asia (CARAM Asia), explained the research she presented at the 25th International AIDS Conference and the disparities migrant workers continue to encounter in HIV care.

Relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) remains an incurable hematologic cancer, often resulting in patients treated with several classes of medications—particularly older patients.

The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic continue to reverberate, as shown in these new data from surveys of adults in the 50 states conducted over approximately 4 years.

There will likely be a 7% increase in Affordable Care Act (ACA) Marketplace plan premiums next year across the 324 participating insurers from the 50 states and Washington, DC.

We spoke with Musarrat Perveen, regional coordinator at Coordination of Action Research on AIDS and Mobility in Asia (CARAM Asia), who advocates at regional and global levels for policy reform of discriminatory practices that put migrant workers at risk of HIV and AIDS.

Visceral pleural invasion of non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) was investigated in this analysis for its potential to predispose patients to worse survival outcomes and greater chances of disease recurrence.

This research presented at AIDS 2024 shows that cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) groups help to fill an unmet need among older persons living with HIV: to overcome the age-related health disparities this group experiences from being in long-term care and improve their health outcomes.

Daratumumab/hyaluronidase-fihj plus bortezomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone is now approved by the FDA to treat newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM) in patients eligible for autologous stem cell transplant.

In advance of this year’s American Society for Preventive Cardiology (ASPC) 2024 Congress on CVD Prevention, we spoke with ASPC President-Elect Michael Shapiro, DO, FASPC, about the many can't-miss sessions at this year's record-breaking event.

On this episode of Managed Care Cast, we speak with Jeffery A. Goad, PharmD, MPH, 2024-2025 president of the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases, on the recent report from the World Health Organization and UNICEF on public immunization rates, with national and global health implications.

Patricia Cioe, PhD, presented data at AIDS 2024 from a study that investigated the impact of peer support on people living with HIV who smoke, a group for whom there are higher rates of cardiac events and cancer.

These 48-week data from ARTISTRY-1 build on 24-week results previously presented and show enduring efficacy of bictegravir plus lenacapavir.

This new analysis examined the investigational chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy GC012F among patients with newly diagnosed and high-risk multiple myeloma (MM).

Ryan Jacobs, MD, lymphoma division director at Atrium Health Levine Cancer Institute, explains the design and objectives of the phase 2 CAPTIVATE study comparing ibrutinib and venetoclax in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).

For this analysis, investigators were interested in patient non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)–related outcomes from antibiotic administration before immunotherapy alone or immunotherapy and chemotherapy.

Peer and survivorship support are lacking for patients living with multiple myeloma, leading investigators to evaluate a group-focused multidisciplinary intervention that encompassed physical and mental activities.

In this interview from our coverage of the European Hematology Association 2024 Congress, we spoke with Brian Koffman, MDCM, DCFP, FCFP, DABFP, MSEd, executive vice president and chief medical officer of the CLL Society and himself a survivor of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), to discuss treatment advancements and the importance of addressing both unmet needs and patient treatment preferences.

Against the backdrop of a case report, pembrolizumab was investigated as immunotherapy for undifferentiated pleomorphic soft tissue sarcoma.

We recently spoke with Tycel Phillips, MD, associate professor, Division of Lymphoma, Department of Hematology & Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation, City of Hope, about his team’s interim analysis of their dose-escalation study of glofitamab against relapsed/refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

In this final segment of our interview with Ontada's Jessica K. Paulus, ScD, she explains how her team's data presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology annual conference may translate to the real world.

Patient outcomes in this trial were compared between the regimens of lenalidomide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone and daratumumab, lenalidomide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone for use against multiple myeloma (MM).

This new analysis incorporated 1997-2013 data on patients with a history of surgical resection of stage IIIA-N2 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and their postop complications to evaluate the possibility of better identifying future surgical candidates.

To conclude our interview with him, Ravin Ratan, MD, MEd, of MD Anderson, explains the importance of caring for all patients and why he tries to own the process of patients feeling confident that they received the attention they deserve.
