Academic Perspectives on Treatment Decisions for BPDCN
March 25th 2025An expert discusses how, for younger/fitter patients with blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN), treatment selection as a bridge to transplant is based on efficacy, toxicity, and response depth. Patient-specific (age, comorbidities) and systemic (drug access, center expertise) factors guide decisions. Emerging real-world evidence, such as Berning et al (ASH 2024), highlights CD123-targeted therapy’s role in optimizing response rates before allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT).

Optimizing Frontline TKI Therapy in Advanced uHCC: Managing Adverse Events
March 20th 2025An expert discusses how in the first-line (1L) treatment of advanced unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (uHCC) with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) such as lenvatinib or sorafenib, proactive adverse event (AE) management is crucial. This includes baseline assessment; regular monitoring of adverse effects such as hypertension, hand-foot syndrome, and fatigue; and implementing preventive strategies. Treatment should be individualized with dose modifications as needed to balance therapeutic efficacy with quality of life, particularly given the advanced disease state.
