Blastic Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cell Neoplasm: A Comprehensive Review of the Disease, Central Nervous System Presentations, and Treatment Strategies!
Despite advancements in the understanding and treatment of BPDCN, managing CNS involvement remains challenging due to its rare occurrence and evolving diagnostic strategies. Prophylactic lumbar punctures are not standard, complicating CNS monitoring. Studies on key therapies like Tagraxofusp and Venetoclax excluded patients with CNS presentations, limiting insights into treatment for this subset. Tracking CNS relapse after HSCT is critical to understanding its curative potential. Although IT therapy is currently the only specific treatment for CNS involvement in BPDCN, this area remains a significant gap in drug development, and clinical trials are needed to address it.”
