Haematological Malignancies
An Introduction to Haematological Malignancies
In recent years, advances in our understanding of the pathological mechanisms underlying haematological malignancies have led to improved outcomes. Several novel drug classes are now emerging, including chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy, molecular targeted therapies, bispecific T-cell engaging antibodies, CD47 blockade therapy and antibody-drug conjugates. Many challenges remain, however, including how best to combine agents and determining where new therapies fit into the treatment paradigm.
