Classifying frailty and approaching elderly patients with lymphoma

While the treatment landscape of both Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (HL; NHL) has improved in recent years, there are several challenges associated with treating elderly patients in these disease settings. The presence of comorbidities, as well as the risk of treatment-related toxicities, makes the treatment of elderly patients an important area of research.

Applications of MRD in multiple myeloma: using MRD to guide treatment decisions

Measurable residual disease (MRD) has become a key biomarker in the field of multiple myeloma (MM), and the sensitivity of MRD testing has increased in recent years. MRD can indicate the depth of response to treatment as well as patient outcomes, leading to suggestions of using MRD status to guide the treatment of patients with myeloma.
