Mantle cell lymphoma - The Bloodline with LLS

Mantle Cell Lymphoma: Indolent vs Aggressive

Listen Later
Robert Chen, MD

With over 60 types of lymphomas, a lymphoma diagnosis can be very confusing.  Listen in as Alicia and Lizette speak with hematologist/oncologist Dr. Robert Chen from City of Hope in Duarte, California about mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). On this episode, they discuss how MCL is diagnosed, indolent vs aggressive lymphomas, and the importance of knowing what to research before attempting to learn about a diagnosis on your own. Dr. Chen also talks about how difficult it was to diagnosis MCL in the past but due to strides made in its molecular path, there has been significant progress in extending survival and improving therapy.
