I was a practicing pediatric hematologist oncologist and researcher for 21 years. As a doctor, it was a tremendous privilege to be invited into the lives of patients and families dealing with blood cancers and be entrusted with their care. As a researcher, it was incredibly rewarding to help bring more effective blood cancer therapies to kids.

The National Comprehensive Cancer Network added Lymphir (denileukin diftitox-cxdl), a novel immunotherapy for the treatment of relapsed or refractory cutaneous T-cell lymphoma after at least one prior systemic therapy, to the NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology. Lymphir is included based on an NCCN Category 2A recommendation which indicates a uniform NCCN consensus that the drug is appropriate as an option for patients with CTCL.
The European Commission granted conditional marketing authorization for Tepkinly (epcoritamab) as a monotherapy for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma after two or more lines of prior therapy. Tepkinly is the only subcutaneous T-cell engaging bispecific antibody approved to treat both r/r FL and r/r diffuse large B-cell lymphoma in the EU, as well as the European Economic Area countries (Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway) and Northern Ireland.
