ASH 2023 | High-dose chemotherapy and autoSCT for R/R primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma

Yago Nieto, MD, PhD, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX, discusses the use of high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation (autoSCT) for relapsed/refractory (R/R) primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma (PMBCL), a rare type of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). A single-center experience found that patients treated with rituximab-vorinostat/gemcitabine/busulfan/melphalan (R-vorinostat/GemBuMel) had superior event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS) to those receiving rituximab-BEAM (carmustine, etoposide, cytarabine, melphalan) conditioning prior to autoSCT. This interview took place at the 65th ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition, held in San Diego, CA.
