Community Practice Connections™: Illustrated Case Discussions: Practical Approaches to Treating Relapsed/Refractory DLBCL in 2021

Release Date: August 31, 2021
Expiration Date: August 31, 2022

Activity Overview

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is one of the most common forms of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL); it accounts for approximately 30% of cases. Treatment options for patients with relapsed and/or refractory DLBCL are evolving rapidly, with the recent addition of several new active agents to the armamentarium, and numerous other promising therapies in late-stage clinical development. Clinicians need to understand the evidence supporting these new options, and how to individualize and sequence treatments in order to optimize outcomes for their patients with DLBCL.

This Community Practice Connection™ program provides an in-depth review of some of the key highlights from the “Illustrated Case Discussions: Practical Approaches to Treating Relapsed/Refractory DLBCL in 2021” satellite symposium, held in June 2021. This unique and engaging multimedia activity is directed towards the community-based clinician and focuses on the practical aspects of managing patients with DLBCL; it puts recent clinical trial data into clinical context. The program is designed for those who did not attend the live meeting and to help reinforce learnings for those who did.
