Real-World Patient-Reported and Neurocognitive Outcomes in the Year After Axicabtagene Ciloleucel.

Axicabtagene ciloleucel (axi-cel), a chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy, has significantly improved clinical outcomes in adult patients with relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma. However, few studies have examined patient-reported outcomes (PROs) or neurocognitive performance in patients treated with axi-cel. Moreover, no longitudinal PRO study has reported on patients treated with axi-cel as standard of care in the United States, to our knowledge.

Radiomic features of PET/CT imaging of large B cell lymphoma lesions predicts CAR T cell therapy efficacy.

Background: Relapsed and refractory Diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) can be successfully treated with axicabtagene ciloleucel (axi-cel), a CD19-directed autologous chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) therapy. Diagnostic image-based features could help identify the patients who would clinically respond to this advanced immunotherapy.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to establish a radiomic image feature-based signature derived from positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT), including metabolic tumor burden, which can predict a durable response to CAR-T therapy in refractory/relapsed DLBCL.

Tumor burden quantified by Soluble B-Cell Maturation Antigen and Metabolic Tumor Volume determine myeloma CAR-T outcomes.

Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy has emerged as a breakthrough treatment for relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). However, these products are complex to deliver and alternative options are now available. Identifying biomarkers that can predict therapeutic outcomes is crucial for optimizing patient selection.

Vaccine hesitancy in patients with solid tumors: a cross-sectional single-center survey.

Background: Vaccination rates are still suboptimal in cancer patients. Oncologists play a central role in recommending vaccines to their patients. Our goal was to investigate vaccine acceptance among cancer patients and understand the factors shaping their choices, thereby aiding physicians in better supporting their patients' vaccination decisions.
