Latest Research

Recent advancements in understanding Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL) have highlighted its molecular diversity, which correlates with varying patient outcomes. Ip et al. (2025) note that despite updates to prognostic risk scores, they still lack key high-risk features like TP53 mutations and complex karyotypes. These features are critical as they are associated with rapid disease progression and lower survival rates.

The use of next-generation sequencing (NGS) has improved the identification of genetic alterations that help in prognostication and disease monitoring. This has led to more personalized treatment approaches, including novel therapies targeting specific disease mechanisms. These therapies, along with traditional chemoimmunotherapy and stem cell transplantation, have expanded treatment options and improved survival for those with relapsed or refractory MCL. Ip et al. emphasize that further research into MCL's biological heterogeneity is essential for enhancing patient management and treatment.

Progress in action. ❤️ The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved a new treatment combination for adults with large B-cell lymphoma, offering hope for those whose cancer has returned or worsened.

“At LLS, we continue to work toward better treatments and better access to treatment for patients and all those who will face a blood cancer diagnosis in the future,” says Lore Gruenbaum, Ph.D., LLS Chief Scientific Officer.

Treatment update - with input from Lymphoma Action, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has approved lisocabtagene maraleucel.

Also known as lisocel, this CAR-T cell therapy is now approved for relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphomas. Lymphoma Action is proud to have been a part of the health technology assessment that made this decision possible.

There are already some CAR-T cell therapies available for people with relapsed or refractory high-grade B-cell lymphomas but the addition of lisocel gives clinicians another option. It is also found to be well tolerated with fewer side effects as explained by Dr Chris Fox, who was one of the clinical experts involved:

"I enthusiastically welcome the NICE recommendation of Lisocabtagene maraleucel for treating relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphomas. This is a very effective treatment now available for patients in England whose DLBCL has returned within 12 months of completing first-line chemoimmunotherapy, who would previously have been treated with high-dose chemotherapy. This novel CD19 CAR T cell therapy delivers high rates of complete remission and offers patients improved chances of long-term survival. Importantly, Liso-cel is better tolerated by patients, with lower rates of serious side-effects than currently existing treatments. No doubt this news will be warmly welcomed by patients and their Haematologists."

As part of this assessment, we were invited to submit a document giving the patient’s perspective, and explain why the addition of lisocel for patients with large B-cell lymphomas was so important. We achieved this by reaching out to our community on our Facebook support group to answer some questions for us. We are always so grateful by the response we get when we do this, and this case was no exception, allowing us to make a compelling case to NICE.

The words we use in the cancer community matter. By making the switch from "caregiver" to "care partner", we're aiming to better highlight the power of partnership and the compassion and commitment of those supporting loved ones with lymphoma.
