Salvage Therapy With Polatuzumab Vedotin, Bendamustine, and Rituximab Prior to Allogeneic Hematopoietic Transplantation in Patients With Aggressive Lymphomas Relapsing After Therapy With Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-Cells-Report on Two Cases.

Up to 60% of patients with aggressive B-cell lymphoma who receive chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy experience treatment failure and subsequently have a poor prognosis. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT) remains a potentially curative approach for patients in this situation. Induction of a deep response prior to alloHSCT is crucial for long-term outcomes, but the optimal bridging strategy following relapse after CAR T-cell therapy has not yet been established.

Two rare cases of bronchus-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma successfully treated with rituximab-bendamustine.

BALT lymphoma is a rare B-NHL with a favorable prognosis. We here report on two patients with nonspecific symptoms: one showed as major symptom severe thrombocytopenia and the other dyspnea and dry cough, thereby suggesting an inflammatory focus in the lungs. There is no standard of care established yet.
