CAR-T cells in ALL
-Good expansion even in patients with minimal or no MRD.
-Blina and InO are still effective after CAR-T failure.
-Clinical trials are evaluating CAR-T in the setting of MRD and as consolidation after induction immunotherapy.

Love this first slide for limited-stage MZL! Starting with gastric MALT, H.pylori treatment works! But resolution of MZL can take 6-12 mos and may periodically see histologic changes over time. I prefer RT for H.pylori-neg.
