Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the past decade, there have been numerous advances in the diagnosis and treatment of lymphoid malignancies. These include developments in disease classification, risk stratification, and novel therapies. Cytogenetic and molecular tests are being used at the time of diagnosis to better classify lymphoid neoplasms and plan their treatments. Testing for measurable residual disease is being incorporated into new treatment protocols to assess response to therapy and risk of relapse. Novel therapies are being used to help patients live longer, including chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy, targeted therapies, and bispecific T-cell engagers.
In this Special Issue, we invite authors to submit original research and reviews regarding the diagnosis and treatment of relapsed refractory lymphoid malignancies, including B- and T-cell leukemias and lymphomas. We welcome studies that report the results of new treatments in real-world settings, studies that test novel treatment combinations, and those that integrate new diagnostic and treatment approaches.
