Dr Julie Chang - University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics, Madison, USA

Dr Chang speaks with ecancertv at ASH 2016 about the benefits of bortezomib in the CVAD treatment schema for mantle cell lymphoma patients.

She notes that, after an 8 year period, half of patients treated with VcR-CVAD remained in remission, and considers the value of bortezomib addition against the duration of treatment.

Overall, Dr Chang describes this as a suitable treatment for intermediate risk patients.
