Scientific breakthroughs in blood cancer are advancing faster than ever. For community-based oncologists, staying current with the latest research and treatment innovations, especially those coming from top academic centers, can be a real challenge.

That’s why we created Treating Blood Cancer in the Community, a cost-free, independent video resource designed to deliver concise, expert insights directly to you and your clinical team.

Through short, high-impact clips, leading clinician-researchers from institutions such as Memorial Sloan Kettering, Mount Sinai, and others share how they are evolving care based on the most recent clinical trial data and drug approvals. Just as importantly, they offer guidance on how academic and community oncology teams can work together to improve patient outcomes.

Now Available: Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma

​In this video, lymphoma expert Dr. Joshua Brody shares key insights on:

  • The emerging role of bispecific antibodies in first- and second-line DLBCL treatment
  • How he collaborates with community oncologists to manage treatment-related side effects

“Bispecific antibodies are absolutely transformational. We are already using them every day in third line and sometimes in second line DLBCL, by themselves and in combination with chemotherapies. These will unquestionably become part of second line therapy, and in my opinion, for DLBCL, in the very near future as part of frontline therapy.”  - Joshua Brody, MD, Director, Lymphoma Immunotherapy Program, Tisch Cancer Institute at Mount Sinai
