Classic Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is a distinct entity among hematological malignancies of B-cell origin. It is characterized by its unique histopathological features and generally favorable prognosis. Over the years, advancements in understanding its pathogenesis, coupled with refined diagnostic and evaluation modalities, as well as therapeutic strategies, have significantly transformed the landscape of HL management.

However, little is known about patients' life after CAR T-cell therapy. We prospectively assessed the multidimensional recovery of lymphoma patients in remission, before leukapheresis, before CAR T-cell infusion, and 3, 6, and 12 months thereafter.

However, the impact of these investigations has not yet been evaluated. Here, we aimed to describe the role of MRI, LP, and EEG in the management of ICANS in a cohort of real-life patients treated with chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells at the University Hospital of Rennes, France.

Patients And Methods: Patients aged ≥18 years with classical Hodgkin lymphoma were retrospectively included. Progression-free survival (PFS) analysis of dichotomized clinicobiological and PET/CT parameters (SUV max , TMTV, TLG, D max , and D bulk ) was performed.
