Retrospective analysis of clinical outcomes and risk factors in hematopoietic cell transplantation for relapsed or refractory mantle cell lymphoma in the post-ibrutinib era

Real-world data on transplant outcomes helps doctors make better decisions for lymphoma patients whose cancer returns after newer drug treatments.

This Japanese registry study analyzed HCT outcomes in relapsed/refractory mantle cell lymphoma patients in the post-ibrutinib era, providing real-world data on transplant decision-making. The findings inform clinical practice for MCL patients who progress after BTK inhibitor therapy.
