(Disclaimer: This episode contains advice on nutrition and lifestyle. Always consult your health care team regarding your personal circumstances).In this episode, we speak with Terena from Tampa, Florida, about her journey with CAR T-cell therapy, covering her experiences from diagnosis through recovery and remission. Diagnosed with mantle cell lymphoma, a type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, in September 2019, Terena endured years of misdiagnosis as her initial symptoms, such as severe hot flashes and night sweats, were attributed to menopause. It wasn't until a bone marrow biopsy that she was correctly diagnosed.Following her diagnosis, Terena underwent extensive testing, including specialized genetic tests like FoundationOne Heme and clonoSEQ, which helped tailor her treatment plan. She started on a combination therapy of Revlimid and rituximab before transitioning to CAR T-cell therapy in December 2020. She shares how the preparation for CAR T involved rigorous health screenings, including mental health assessments and apheresis, to collect her T cells.Terena details the intensive hospital stay during CAR T, where she faced several challenging side effects like cytokine release syndrome, neurotoxicity, and significant weight loss due to radiation-induced nausea. Despite these challenges, she avoided some severe complications such as seizures or viral reactivations, thanks to preemptive treatments and vigilant care. Her remission came three months post-treatment, a milestone that was both a relief and a testament to the effectiveness of the therapy.The cost of CAR T therapy was staggering, with an itemized hospital bill exceeding a million dollars. Fortunately, her insurance (including Medicare) covered a significant portion, though she emphasizes the importance of being financially prepared for such high medical expenses.Post-remission, Terena has made significant lifestyle changes to support her health. She follows a strict anti-inflammatory diet, avoiding GMOs, processed foods, and conventional dairy and meat products. She shares her regimen of juicing, incorporating nutrient-rich foods like organic berries, avocados, and cruciferous vegetables. Additionally, she has overhauled her home environment, switching to non-toxic cleaning products and cosmetics, using water and air filters, and incorporating wellness practices like infrared sauna therapy and regular exercise.Terena's commitment to reducing environmental toxins extends to every aspect of her life. She no longer uses products with harmful chemicals, such as nail polish or hair dye, and relies on digital tools to evaluate the safety of her food and personal care products. Her integrative health approach, combining conventional and holistic practices, plays a crucial role in maintaining her well-being.Her story is not only about overcoming physical challenges but also about the emotional and logistical aspects of undergoing such intensive treatment. From pre-paying bills and preparing meals in advance to relying on friends and family for transportation during her recovery, Terena's experience highlights the need for a strong support system. Her openness and detailed sharing of her journey are bound to help others navigating similar paths.Links: Gluten Free Scanner App: https://glutenfreescanner.app/EWG's "Clean Fifteen" List: https://www.ewg.org/foodnews/clean-fifteen.phpEWG's "Dirty Dozen" List: https://www.ewg.org/foodnews/full-list.phpFoundationOne Heme - foundationmedicine.comclonoSEQ - clonoseq.comThis season is made possible thanks to our sponsors:Kite, a Gilead company: http://www.kitepharma.com/and Bristol Myers Squibb's CAR T support services program:https://www.celltherapy360.com/ Follow the nbmtLINK on Instagram! https://www.instagram.com/nbmtlink/Or visit our website at https://www.nbmtlink.org/

Staying abreast of recent clinical practice guidelines for the management of relapsed/refractory mantle cell lymphoma can be challenging for providers who may seldom encounter it in community practice. In this episode, CANCER BUZZ speaks with Jeff Sharman, MD, medical director of hematology research, US Oncology, and director of research, Willamette Valley Cancer Institute, about the role of biomarker testing in guiding treatment decisions and how evidence-based management of treatment-related adverse events can serve this patient population. “Fortunately, treatments such as BTK inhibitors are generally very well tolerated by patients, and there are very few patients who can't take a BTK inhibitor. But as you go up the scale of increasing intensity, such as CAR T-cell, or even allogeneic stem cell transplantation, those are therapies not suitable for patients with more extensive comorbidities.” – Dr. Jeff Sharman, MD   “A collaborative relationship between a community practice and an academic center can be of considerable benefit to a patient, so that as treatment decisions are made, both the physician and patient can feel like they're offering the patient the very best therapy.” – Dr. Jeff Sharman, MD    Jeff Sharman, MD  Medical Director of Hematology Research, US Oncology Director of Research Willamette Valley Cancer Institute Eugene, Oregon    This project is made possible by funding and support provided by Eli Lilly and in collaboration with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

Key challenges include managing poor treatment responses and patient health deterioration, necessitating therapies that extend survival and improve quality of life. Noncovalent Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitors (ncBTKi) show promise in these cases, but clinicians need updated knowledge on their use, including response rates and management of associated toxicities. Additionally, the evolving landscape of B-cell lymphoma therapies complicates treatment choices, requiring expert guidance on individualized therapy selection and sequencing.=

Common adverse events associated with treatment of mantle cell lymphoma include gastrointestinal, hematologic, and cardiac toxicities. Proactive management of these toxicities and collaboration between members of the cancer care team, including pharmacists, are key to optimizing patient outcomes. In this episode, CANCER BUZZ speaks with Karen Fancher, PharmD, BCOP, clinical pharmacy specialist in oncology at University of Pittsburgh – Passavant Hospital, and Victoria Nachar, PharmD, BCOP, clinical pharmacist specialist in ambulatory hematology and adjunct clinical instructor at the University of Michigan, about strategies to address common adverse events experienced by patients with mantle cell lymphoma.  “There are some unique strategies using electronic resources if patients can be tech-savvy…We have some cool technology that use[s] text-message-based responses, where you can ask patients about side effects or vital signs. All they have to do is text a response, and it will automatically populate into the electronic medical record.”—Victoria Nachar, PharmD, BCOP   “I'm at a very small community practice…Institutions like Michigan are light years ahead of some of us in terms of patient-friendly communication strategies through technology…As those institutions perfect and work out the kinks, [the technology] is going to trickle down to those of us in the community setting.

How best to treat patients with relapsed or refractory mantle cell lymphoma has been made clearer by a report from the multinational Phase III Sympatico Study, presented at the 65th ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition held in San Diego. Lead author Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, told the conference how a combination of two targeted drugs—ibrutinib and venetoclax—improved outcomes.

Although strides have been made with Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors and CAR-T cell therapy, relapse and resistance remain significant hurdles in treating patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). The Lymphoma Research Foundation's 2023 MCL Scientific Consortium and Workshop addressed these complexities, aiming to dissect the intricate biology of MCL and propel progress towards a cure. CancerNetwork® spoke with leaders in the MCL field to better understand the aim of the consortium and the advancements they hope to see in the space. The journal ONCOLOGY® published these findings in the February 2024 issue. The interviews included Elias Campo, MD, PhD, research director and professor of anatomic pathology at the Hospital Clinic of the University of Barcelona; Michael Wang, MD, professor in the Department of Lymphoma and Myeloma at The University of Texas, MD Anderson Cancer Center; Martin Dreyling, MD, PhD, professor of Medicine in the Department of Medicine and head of the Medical Clinic 3 at the University of Munich-Grosshadern in Germany; and Julie M. Vose, MD, MBA, Neumann M. and Mildred E. Harris Professor and division chief in the Division of Hematology at the University of Nebraska Medical Center and coeditor in chief of ONCOLOGY.  The consortium touched on t(11;14), which dysregulates cyclin D1 and fuels uncontrolled cell growth. Additionally, research presented at the consortium revealed other molecular pathways contributing to treatment resistance and relapse, highlighting the heterogeneous nature of the disease. This heterogeneity underscored the need for personalized treatment strategies and biomarker-based prognostics, a notion further emphasized by multiple findings on the predictive value of specific gene mutations. Beyond understanding the inner workings of MCL, presentations also focused on novel therapeutic avenues. Specifically, there were encouraging data on the potential of next-generation BTK inhibitors including acalabrutinib (Calquence) to overcome resistance. Challenges such as the limitations of current risk stratification models remain, underscoring the need for robust biomarkers to guide early interventions and optimize treatment selection. Additionally, the consortium featured a discussion on addressing a lack of diversity in clinical trial populations, which may help increase treatment access for those with various medical conditions. “…The patient population that has a disease is not always [represented] in the clinical trials. That's why it's important to be able to have a diversity of patients in clinical trials: to test these new therapies because [patients] may have other medical conditions that would change the outcome of trials and not be necessarily representative of the entire patient population with that disease,” Vose said. “It's important to try to advance the treatment of a very diverse patient population through these clinical trial mechanisms.”

This week's episode will be focusing on Mantle Cell Lymphoma. We will go over the important details on the presentation, diagnosis and treatment.

— As a happily married, fifty-five-year-old professional woman, Susan Keller had it all—or thought she did—until the day of her shocking diagnosis with stage 4 Mantle Cell Lymphoma, a rare and aggressive disease. Within minutes of being admitted to the hospital, her beautifully ordinary life disappeared. How would cancer affect her marriage? Facing a possible death sentence, Susan experienced visions so lucid and beautiful that she imagined she was looking into the foyer of death or a magnificent afterlife. Her mind and body melded into all that surrounded her. Bliss replaced fear. Cancer and spirituality were one. But during the darkest moments, Susan questioned the nature of mortality. Does death have the same shape, sound, and feeling for everyone? Did the father she yearned for think of her the moment he died? What would she think of? Would there be regret, celebration, or nothingness? After months of grueling inpatient chemo, she faced another seemingly impossible hurdle. To survive, she needed a bone marrow transplant. But Johnny—her brilliant, off-the-grid brother—was the only possible donor. But he'd vanished decades earlier. Blood Brother is a family saga of curing an incurable cancer and of the enigmatic events that led to finding a man who never wanted to be found. It also explores why he disappeared and delves into what it means to forgive the parents who abused and abandoned them. Susan survived twice: once a violent childhood and secondly a devastating cancer. Blood Brother is a story of life after a bone marrow transplant. It's a moving tale of rebuilding a family, recognizing the unexpectedly stunning gifts of cancer, and of how to embrace a profoundly generous second chance at life. Valeria Teles interviews Susan Keller — The author of “Blood Brother: A Memoir.” Susan Keller enjoyed a 30-year career as an award-winning medical writer. Her poetry won prizes in regional and national contests. She has a degree in Public Health and Immunology from U. C. Berkeley.  This background in science as well as poetry makes the voice in her first book, Blood Brother: A Memoir, both lyric as well as credible.  A frequently fatal lymphoma inspired Susan to write Blood Brother: A Memoir. Articles about her story of hope and survival have been published in: Psychology Today; Conquer: The Patient Voice; two Guideposts Magazines; Patient Power; and several newspapers. She is a monthly blog contributor to Psychology Today and CURE Magazine. Susan is a presenter at Dominican University and at Stanford Cancer Center. All links available upon request.
