Selina LugerDuring the 2020 Annual Meeting of the Society of Hematologic Oncology (SOHO), the ALL Hub spoke to Selina M. Luger, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, US. We asked: What are the current challenges in ALL that need to be addressed?
What are the current challenges in ALL that need to be addressed?
Here, she highlights a number of considerations regarding ALL treatment strategies:
1) Should all patients receive transplant for the treatment of ALL?
2) Do all patients with Philadelphia chromosome-positive ALL require intensive chemotherapy?
3) Are there patients with Philadelphia chromosome-negative ALL who demonstrate good responses without chemotherapy?
4) Should targeted agents be incorporated into chemotherapy regimens?
Selina M. Luger concludes by highlighting the lack of targeted agents available for T-cell ALL and outlines emerging therapeutics in this setting.
