Article Synopsis
- Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) can happen to people who receive special T-cells after a stem cell transplant, affecting 10% to 33% of them.
- A treatment called extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) seems to help with GVHD while still allowing the T-cells to fight cancer and infections.
- Research showed that ECP can make these T-cells less likely to cause problems in the body, while still keeping them effective for fighting diseases.
Background: We aimed to validate a simple Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) in older adults with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) in China and to evaluate the tolerability and efficacy of CGA-driven therapy.
Materials And Methods: In total, 78 patients with DLBCL aged ≥60 years were evaluated using CGA with the following parameters: age ≥ 80 years, activities of daily living (ADL), instrumental ADL, and modified cumulative illness rating score for geriatrics. Patients were grouped as fit, unfit, or frail.
