    How Experts Treat Mantle Cell Lymphoma (with Prof Mats Jerkeman)

    Get up to date with the latest EHA-EU guideline for Mantle Cell Lymphoma (EHA–EU MCL network guidelines for diagnosis and treatment of mantle cell lymphoma - Jerkeman - 2025 - HemaSphere - Wiley Online Library) with Prof Mats Jerkeman (Lund University, Sweden).   In this episode, he explains how biological risk factors, particularly TP53 mutations and proliferation rate, inform patient stratification. He reviews evolving treatment sequencing, including  the expanding role of  BTK inhibitors (such as ibrutinib) in first-line regimens.  He further discusses the management relapsed/refractory MCL, where BTK inhibitors and CAR T-cell therapy  have largely supplanted but not fully replaced allogeneic transplantation.  Throughout the conversation, Prof Jerkeman emphasizes the dynamic evolution of MCL treatment and the need for ongoing guideline updates as new evidence emerges.     Link to the guideline: (EHA–EU MCL network guidelines for diagnosis and treatment of mantle cell lymphoma - Jerkeman - 2025 - HemaSphere - Wiley Online Library)  Link to Lund University:   Mats Jerkeman - Lund University  Home | Lund University   Learn More Interested in more content related to CART?

    The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Hematology (featuring Dr Gregor Hormann)

    [This is a Rerelease. Episode first published on November 22, 2024.]Join us in this podcast episode to get a glimpse of what the future holds in the big field of innovation in hematology. With the help of our host, Dr Gregor Hormann (MLL Munich Leukemia Laboratory, Germany), you will be taken on a journey toward a future that is already here.    Dr Hormann will discuss the many potentials of AI in hematology and oncology, including the automated integrated diagnostic tools, from morphology to chromosomal banding analysis in a few minutes, new classification algorithms, and innovative large language models (LLMs) assisting physicians in the diagnosis prediction.   The take-home message? "AI will not replace physicians. However, physicians who use AI will replace those who don't."  Host: Dr Wilson Lim Guest: Dr Gregor Hormann Learn More What did you think of this podcast?

    How Does Climate Change Affect Hematology Practice? (with Dr Stephen Hibbs)

    [This is a Rerelease. Episode first published on November 1, 2024.] Join us for an engaging episode with Dr. Stephen Hibbs from Queen Mary University of London as he discusses the environmental impacts of hematology. Alongside our host Dr. Sarah de Vlieger, they explore how climate change is already affecting hematology, emphasizing that these effects are being felt now rather than in the future. The conversation highlights how climate change alters aspects of hematology practice, such as the risk of transfusion-transmitted infections due to evolving disease vectors. Dr. Hibbs describes also the surprising link between extreme heat during pregnancy and an increased risk of children developing ALL (acute lymphoblastic leukemia). He further discusses practice-changing initiatives, like using sevoflurane instead of desflurane as an anesthetic to reduce environmental impact, and explains his work on improving the logistics of blood transfusions to lessen their ecological footprint. Finally, Dr. Hibbs encourages hematologists to focus on actionable steps to minimize their environmental impact, advocating for practical changes in clinical practices and increased awareness of the healthcare sector's contribution to global emissions.     Host: Dr Sarah de Vlieger Guest: Dr Stephen Hibbs Learn More What did you think of this podcast?
