套细胞淋巴瘤：新型疗法出现后不断变化的治疗范式临床综述及对印度数据的洞察

Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare type of mature B-cell lymphoid malignancy with the pathologic hallmark of translocation t(11;14) (q13, q32), which leads to an overexpression of Cyclin D1 (CCND1). The disease is also characterized by the presence of a high number of recurrent genetic alterations, which include aberrations in several cellular pathways. MCL is a heterogeneous disease with a wide range of clinical presentations and a majority presenting with aggressive disease in advanced stages. RECENT FINDINGS: Management of MCL is bereft with challenges due to its resistant and relapsing pattern. Despite improvements in remission durations, the disease is currently incurable with standard therapy and has a median survival of about 3-5 years. The use of small molecules like the bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) and BCL2 inhibitors, for treating relapsed MCL has been established leading to a diminishing role for conventional chemotherapy. Combinations of small molecule inhibitors with or without chemoimmunotherapy, are showing promising results. Cellular therapy in the form of CAR-T cell therapy, has been approved recently.

Personalized cancer treatment and chemo-free regimens are showing promise and results from well-planned long-term studies are evolving. In India, there is a paucity of epidemiological, clinical, and research data in this field.
