Next-Generation Therapies in Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL): The Evolving Landscape in Treatment of Relapse/Refractory After CAR-T Cells

Elia Boccellato et al. Cancers (Basel). .

Abstract

Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare but heterogeneous subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) with a prognosis ranging from very favorable in indolent cases to a poor prognosis for more aggressive variants [...].

Keywords: bispecific antibodies; mantle cell lymphoma; monoclonal antibodies; post-CART; relapsed/refractory.
