T-cell lymphoma represents one of the “last frontiers in lymphoma,” Dr. Iyer said.

However, there have been advances in understanding the genetics and classification of T-cell lymphoma.

“Genomics have played a huge role in a lot of other cancers,” he said. “T-cell lymphoma is one of the last few ones where we are actually able to molecularly classify.”

There have also been advances in therapy for T-cell lymphoma, Dr. Iyer said.

“Now we have epigenetically targeted therapies that are making a difference … I think we are seeing progress.”

Dr. Iyer and Dr. Nabhan also spoke about hematopoietic stem cell transplant and what might be on the horizon for chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy in T-cell lymphoma.

“I think transplant is still going to play a large role in T-cell lymphoma until CAR-T is approved,” Dr. Iyer said.
