T/F it is alway necessary to do a bone marrow biopsy for follicular lymphoma 

What is false? Especially if advanced disease

100

This is diagnostic flow cytometry (CD)

What is CD20+, CD19+, CD5+, CD23-, Cyclin D1 positive?

100

T/F 

The STIL and BRIGHT study showed superiority of B-R over RCHOP for follicular lymphoma

What is true?

100

This is Ann Arbor classification of lymphoma

What's stage 1 - one lymph node, stage 2 - two lymph nodes, stage 3 - both sides of the diaphragm, 4 - extra organ involvement?

200

This the IHC/flow cytometry pattern for follicular lymphoma

What is 

Positive for CD20 (bright), CD19, CD79a, CD10  (key marker), BCL6, BCL2 ⭐ (aberrant expression in follicles), Surface immunoglobulin (usually IgM ± IgD), Kappa or lambda light-chain restriction

Negative for CD5, CD24, cyclin D1

200

This is the KI 67 cut offs for high and low risk

< 10 % - low risk

> 30 % - high risk

10-30 borderline

200

T/F

The Gallium study showed PFS and OS benefit of Obinutuzmab vs R-chemo, but greater adverse events with Obinu

False - no overall survival benefit

200

This is GELF criteria indication to treat for follicular lymphoma

What is tumor > 7 cm or 3 lymph nodes > 3 cm, splenic enlargement, organ compression, ascites, pleural effusions, cytopenias B symptoms, leukemia phase, and elevated LDH/B2?

300

This is the treatment for stage I and II follicular lymphoma 

What is Observation vs ISRT vs Rituximab?

300

This is the treatment for limited stage mantel cell lymphoma

What is observation or involved field radiation?

300

The PRIMA study showed this benefit in PFS and OS with rituximab maintenance in patients with follicular lymphoma

What is improved PFS, but not OS?

300

These are poor prognostic features mantle cell lymphoma

What is blastoid or plemorphic morphology, high KI67, tP53, SOX11+

400

What is the treatment of stage III/IV follicular lymphoma?

Low burden/asymptomatic → observe

Low burden/symptomatic → use ritux 4 doses

High burden → RB/RCHOP, R-CVP, R^2, Rituximab x 4 (don’t love bc low complete remission rates, and will be older when you have to treat them again, but can give for elderly)

Bendamustine low dose = 70mg^2 on two days rather than 90mg/m2 or could do 50% reductionto 90mg/m2 just on day1

400

For young, fit patients - this is the standard treatment regimen for TP53 wild type

What is cytarabine based followed by autologous transplant, followed by rituximab maintenance (LIMA showed OS benefit of 3 years ritux) now adding BTK inhibitor (2 years)?

Triangle regimen - RDHAP/RCHOP alternating with ibruitnibn then transplant

Elderly Bendamustine/Rituximab x 6 cycles followed by ritux 

400

For TP53 mutated mantle cell lymphoma, the SYMPATICO study showed that this added to venetoclax improved response rates and deeper response rates. 

What is ibrutinib?

  • Supports chemo-free combination therapy in R/R MCL

  • Provides an important option for high-risk disease, especially TP53-mutant patients

400

These CART cells are approved for Mantle Cell Lymphoma

Brexacaptagene autoleucel (higher rates of neurotoxity)

Lisa-cel

500

This is relapsed disease treatment for follicular lymphoma.

2nd Line - R^2 or RCHEMO (Ritux, Obin, Len + Ritux/Obin+CHOP, R/Obin+CVP) --> Transplant

Tamezostat

3rd Line - 

BITE (Epcoritamab, Mosunetuzumab)

CART (Axicel, Liso-Cel, Tiso-Cel)

PIK3 inhibitor

500

These are R/R for mantle cell lymphoma

What are BTK inhibitors (acala/zana) if not gotten before

Pirtobrutinib

CART 

R-Benda, Bortez, Lenolidamide, Venetoclax, +/- Ritux 

500

The BOVEN study showed this regimen yielded high overall response rates (95-100$), complete response rates (80-90%) and high MRD negativity rates.

What is zanabrutinib, obinutuzumab,and venetoclax?

Deep, durable response with chemo free regimen even in TP53 mutated patients 

500

This non covalent, small molecule inhibitor BTK inhibitor is approved for Mantle Cell Lymphoma in the relapsed setting

What is Pirtobrutinib?
