A panelist discusses how graft-vs-host disease (GVHD) manifests through a complex constellation of symptoms affecting multiple organ systems, including the skin (rash, itching), gastrointestinal tract (diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain), liver (elevated enzymes, jaundice), and lungs (shortness of breath, cough), with severity assessment typically following established criteria.

Panelists discuss how ongoing trials in first-line advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) may reshape treatment paradigms, influencing tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) and immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) use. Patient selection depends on clinical (liver function, ECOG status) and biological (PD-L1, VEGF expression) factors. Lenvatinib remains a key TKI, balancing efficacy and safety. As emerging regimens (CARES-310, CheckMate-9DW) gain traction, lenvatinib’s role evolves, with experts assessing its place in monotherapy and combinations.

Panelists discuss how current first-line systemic therapies for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) include atezolizumab + bevacizumab and durvalumab + tremelimumab, replacing tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) like sorafenib and lenvatinib. Emerging combinations with anti–PD-L1 agents enhance efficacy. TKI + immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) combinations offer synergistic benefits but pose toxicity, cost, and biomarker challenges.

An expert discusses how monitoring capillary leakage syndrome (CLS) requires vigilant assessment of fluid balance, hemodynamics, and biomarkers. Academic settings may have advanced resources, whereas community settings rely on standardized protocols. Key adverse effects include hypotension, edema, and organ dysfunction. Management includes fluid resuscitation, vasopressors, and close monitoring.

An expert discusses how, for younger/fitter patients with blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN), treatment selection as a bridge to transplant is based on efficacy, toxicity, and response depth. Patient-specific (age, comorbidities) and systemic (drug access, center expertise) factors guide decisions. Emerging real-world evidence, such as Berning et al (ASH 2024), highlights CD123-targeted therapy’s role in optimizing response rates before allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT).
