原发性纵隔大 B 细胞淋巴瘤靶向治疗的当前问题与未来展望

Primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma (PMLBCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell lymphoma, sharing common features with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). PMLBCL is usually cured with single-hit immunochemotherapy in the first-line setting. Relapses tend to be aggressive and may be unresponsive to conventional chemotherapy. Autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) remains a viable option for chemosensitive patients; nevertheless, targeted therapies appear to be highly promising.

Checkpoint inhibitors (CPIs) have already transformed the course of relapse/refractory disease, while CD-19-directed Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy may produce remarkably favorable outcomes. The exact position of CAR T-cells and CPIs in the treatment algorithm, along with the role of radiotherapy and ASCT, remains to be precisely determined. In the current review, we aim to present the recent research on targeted agents in PMLBCL and define their sequencing within the treatment algorithm, mainly in the relapse/refractory setting.
