Timothy Illidge, BSc, PhD, MRCP, FRCR, FRCPath, from University of Manchester, Manchester, UK, explains how there has been an explosion of immuno-oncology in lymphoma. He specifically mentions the use of CAR T-cell technology in inducing high response rates and durable remissions in refractory patients. In addition, drug combinations for e.g. brentuximab vedotin and nivolumab have also shown encouraging response rates in refractory patients.
