Joy shares how a lifetime of service began with a simple feeling of wanting to help others, and evolved into more than two decades in the nonprofit sector focused on cancer support, education access, women's issues, and amplifying the voices of those who are too often unseen or unheard. She reflects on the powerful example set by her parents, who modeled service “before it had a title,” and how that foundation of love, grit, and doing the right thing has shaped her entire journey.Joy walks listeners through her professional path from Nassau Community College—first as a student, then staff member and later Executive Director of the college's foundation—to a decade at the American Cancer Society, and on to SUNY Stony Brook working on women's health and women's leadership. Throughout, she emphasizes the power of long-term relationships, showing how mentors, colleagues, and friends have stayed connected across roles, institutions, and life milestones. Joy also shares deeply personal stories of losing loved ones to cancer early in her career, and then, 20 years later, watching close family members with blood cancers move from “despair to hope to strength” thanks to advances in treatment—an evolution that called her back into the cancer space and ultimately to Blood Cancer United.Together, Tommy and Joy highlight the recent rebrand from Leukemia & Lymphoma Society to Blood Cancer United, designed to be more inclusive of all blood cancer patients and families.

There are calls for greater transparency about how Pharmac prioritises medicines on what is effectively a wait list for funding as it considers culling that list. If the proposal goes ahead the government drug buying agency will focus on cutting drugs that have been in the lowest ranked group on the options for funding list for more than two years. Publicly drugs on the funding wait list appear in alphabetical order; but where they are ranked in terms of priority for funding is kept secret.

Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN) is a rare blood cancer that primarily affects older adults. One of the key challenges in diagnosing and treating BPDCN is that it closely resembles other forms of leukemia in both appearance and behavior. This overlap often leads to delays or uncertainty in diagnosis, especially since currently there is no single, reliable marker that clearly distinguishes BPDCN from related diseases. To address this issue, researchers from the City of Hope Comprehensive Cancer Center investigated the genetic profile of BPDCN. Their study, titled “Genetic characteristics of blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm: A single institution experience,” was published in Oncotarget (Volume 16).

Dr. Anders Kolb on Leading Blood Cancer United Into a New Era by Managed Care Cast

According to Blood Cancer United (formerly the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society), approximately every 3 minutes, 1 person in the United States is diagnosed with leukemia, lymphoma, or myeloma. AML is a heterogeneous hematologic malignancy; despite advances in treatment, AML remains challenging to cure. Integrating new treatment options for patients with refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML), including menin inhibitors, into routine oncology care can help bring novel therapies to patients with relapsed or refractory AML. ACCC is committed to providing information on the latest research and treatment options for blood cancer. In this episode, CANCER BUZZ speaks with Keri Halsema, NP, MSN, RN, nurse practitioner in the Blood Disorders Center at the University of Colorado Anschutz about the factors that influence treatment choices and the use of menin inhibitors to treat relapsed or refractory AML.   “We, as clinicians, are really excited that we have another treatment choice with respect to targeted therapy in these patients that have either the KMT2A rearrangement or the NPM1 mutation…Having outreach and making sure that community oncologists are aware that these medications are available, that various academic centers have various clinical trials that patients may qualify for and may be enrolled in, that's something that's very important in moving care forward for these patients with AML.” – Keri Halsema, NP, MSN, RN   Keri Halsema, NP, MSN, RN Nurse Practitioner Blood Disorders Center University of Colorado Anschutz Aurora, CO   Resources: Menin Matters   ACCC Hematologic Malignancies   ACCC AML Resource Page   ACCC Educational Video: Best Practices and Solutions for Performing Bone Marrow Biopsies in AML Care   Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Facts and Statistics   Menin inhibitors in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia

In this week's Talking Health, Jessica is joined by Dr Juho Jalkanen – Chief Executive Officer at Faron Pharmaceuticals, to discuss the clinical trials of bexmarilimab for blood cancer treatment.

Prior to the election, Christopher Luxon made a commitment to fund a list of hard tumour cancer medications. At the same time National repeatedly promised that blood cancer sufferers would not be forgotten. But two years on from that promise, many of them do feel forgotten. The drug Daratumumab, or Dara is on Pharmac's priority drug list. That's the list of drugs it would like to fund, but can't afford. Dara is virtually free in Australia, but costs hundreds of thousand of dollars here. That means some desperate blood cancer patients are funding it themselves; relying on the kindness of others and donation pages. Aucklander Geoff Dawson, has multiple Myeloma, and is on Dara, he spoke to Lisa Owen.

There are calls for the government to settle an unpaid debt, a promise made by National to blood cancer sufferers, desperate for access to drugs not funded in Aotearoa. On the election campaign, National pledged to fund a list of medications for solid cancer tumours. It was forced to make good on that, following public backlash over a lack of action. But it had also given assurances about closing the medicine gap for blood cancer patients too, yet two years on they're still dying for it to deliver.

At the Society of Hematologic Oncology 2025 Annual Meeting, CancerNetwork® spoke with a variety of experts about notable clinical developments and trial results across the hematologic oncology landscape. Throughout the meeting, clinicians and researchers discussed the latest data and initiatives in myelofibrosis, multiple myeloma, lymphoma, and other types of blood cancer. Francesca Palandri, MD, PhD, an adjunct professor in the Department of Medical and Surgical Sciences at the University of Bologna in Bologna, Italy, shared insights from a session focused on exploring predictive markers for the efficacy of ruxolitinib (Jakafi) among patients with myelofibrosis.1 Noting variance in response rates as well as possibilities of disease progression or treatment discontinuation associated with ruxolitinib, Palandri emphasized the importance of assessing predictors of response to better orient clinical decision-making strategies regarding the agent's use. She also highlighted how factors such as cytopenic phenotype, higher peripheral blast counts, and higher burden of disease may impact response rates and survival among patients. Additionally, Sundar Jagannath, MD, a professor of Medicine specializing in hematology and medical oncology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and The Tisch Cancer Institute, spoke about his presentation on potentially defining a cure in the management of multiple myeloma.2 He described the importance of “chang[ing] the dialogue” in multiple myeloma to give hope to patients and encourage physicians to engage in patient care more optimally. By defining a cure in multiple myeloma, Jagannath stated, it may be possible to offer more finite durations of treatment and stop therapy with the confidence that patients will not relapse. Finally, Adam J. Olszewski, MD, an associate professor of medicine at The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University, discussed his work on the phase 3 SUNMO trial (NCT05171647).3 Findings from this presentation showed that mosunetuzumab-axgb (Lunsumio) plus polatuzumab vedotin-piiq (Polivy; M-Pola) reduced the risk of progression or death by 59% vs rituximab (Rituxan) with gemcitabine and oxaliplatin (R-GemOx) in relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL). Olszewski also outlined next steps for refining treatment strategies in this patient population. References Palandri F. Predictive markers for ruxolitinib in MF.
