Modern Management of Mantle Cell Lymphoma

New combination therapies and immune-redirecting treatments are improving outcomes for mantle cell lymphoma, a previously hard-to-treat blood cancer.

An ASCO Educational Book review by authors from Memorial Sloan Kettering, LMU Munich, and Oxford synthesizes the current MCL treatment landscape from MIPI/Ki-67 risk stratification through BTKi-integrated frontline therapy, maintenance rituximab, and emerging T-cell-redirecting therapies (CAR-T, bispecifics) for relapsed/refractory disease. This guideline-proximal educational resource reflects state-of-practice consensus for a biologically heterogeneous B-cell malignancy.
