In the second interview of this series, Ben Creelan, MD, Associate Member at the H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center & Research Institute in Tampa, Florida, reviews clinical trial data and explains the rationale of using tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treatment.
The panelist discusses how for managing patients with R/R multiple myeloma, community clinicians should focus on personalized treatment approaches, incorporating novel therapies such as CAR T-cell therapy while carefully monitoring for and managing toxicities through established protocols. Key considerations include implementing systematic toxicity management strategies, maintaining long-term patient monitoring, and staying informed about emerging therapeutic options.
