New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.

Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.

Hi everyone. My name is Shelly, and I am a second year medical student working with Dr Carol-anne Moulton on a research project that studies surgeons’ reactions to their errors.
Yes, surgeons are people too. Yes, they can react to things other than themselves. Or that’s what we thought.
In previous literatures, physicians, when faced with major adverse events and errors, have been found to experience profound reaction.
These reactions have been are shame, self-disappointment, fear of litigation, guilt, and fear of stigmatization.
Why are there such profound reactions?
Reactions are not surprising given the stereotypical surgical culture. Surgeons are stereotyped to be rapid and confident decision makers.
Surgical residents are taught the basic tenet of “do no harm”. Medicine is wrought with uncertainty, yet error is unacceptable. Residents can then be caught between these two conflicting thoughts.
The workplace can be problematic as well. The workplace is often not conducive to personal disclosure of errors. Counseling and debriefing opportunities are often rare.
Lastly, a surgeons’ work deals with human life. There is inherent uncertainty and fragility in their line of work. Problems can happen unexpectedly.
In a previous study, a phenomenon called ‘slowing down when you should’ was identified. Significant patient outcomes was found to be associated with profound reactions.
These reactions have been briefly described before in other literatures. So why dig it up again?
Other than getting a bigger understanding of the issue, understanding reactions…
-enables disclosure on a medical/legal level
-enables surgeons to put it in perspective in their discussion with others
-enables surgeons to achieve expertise in their work
- incorporation of coping strategies and reflexive practice in the surgical curriculum.
(Just read slide)
First we started with a psychology literature review. We identified theories that described reactions to loss, uncertainty, error or complication. Principles from the psychology literature were drawn as needed to aid in the interpretation of the results.
An example of the psychology literature that we have reviewed is the theory of self.
This theory explains why individuals will react in the way they react when faced with cognitive dissonance.
The goal of the individual is to protect their self-integrity, and will self-affirm in whatever way necessary in order to do it.
This theory carries relevance in our attempt to understand how surgeons protect themselves.
Currently our study is in Phase I, so today I will be presenting preliminary results.
We are using a grounded theory constructivist approach.
In phase I, we have conducted semi-structured interviews with 9 surgeons regarding their reactions to adverse events.
Preliminary data analysis occurred in conjunction with data collection in an iterative and constant comparative process.
Purposive sampling was used to include both male and female surgeons, across different specialties, and experience levels.
We have interviewed 3 female surgeons and 6 males. 2 were junior, and 7 were senior surgeons. 2 were from outside general surgery.
Theoretical sampling is being used to explore emergent themes.
In Phase II, we will conduct brief interviews with them shortly after an event.
We will conduct brief interviews with surgeons to capture their experiences with events in real-time. We included this phase because we believe that reactions are temporally affected.
That is, similar to Kubler’s stages of grief, reactions may change over time from the event. Surgeons may also be able to better describe it when it is closer to the event itself.
So what have we found thus far?
We have found that surgeons are more consistent in the depth and pattern of their reaction to adverse events. More consistent than they realize
Here, I will describe the surgeon’s preliminary four-phase reaction to error. These phases are not set in stone and the timeframe has not been examined. These are just commonalities that we have noticed in our data.
Surgeons have described wanting to be alone, want to jump off the roof of a building, and likened it to flight or fright.
It is a profound, visceral stress. The surgeon almost feels nauseated, as their gut drops. Almost like a physical blow.
Cognitively, it is self-doubt, am I good enough to be wearing my scrubs?
You can then imagine how difficult it is to negotiate disclosure and to have clear discussions when you are thinking about things clearly.
This is what our surgeons have said.
(Just read slide)
In this second phase, we found that surgeons were information gathering to determine: what was role? How guilty am I? how stupid was I?
Did I cause this? Can this happen to anyone?
Emotionally, the surgeon is often in disbelief. They zone out from other aspects of their work and home life.
A PE is a pulmonary embolism – something that surgeons usually attribute to an operative cause. Not due to the surgeon.
(Read slide)
However, you can see how if the surgeon feels that they didn’t do everything they could, they would still feel terrible.
Surgeons will actively do things to prevent situations that can allow them to link the event to themselves.
The third phase we noticed was a recovery. It is characterized by a surgeon using coping strategies and thoughts in order to feel better about themselves.
It seems like various strategies are being used by surgeons to recover from the initial blow are: information gathering, talking to everyone about it, and minimisation.
Surgeons have said that they think there are various factors that will affect how they recover:
Male vs female
Senior vs junior
Elective vs emergency
From what we’ve heard so far, we think that, over time, surgeons will reconcile their reactions into their identity. The recovery process may determine how the error affects the surgeon.
We are wondering whether these reactions can affect their career paths? How people choose various surgical paths or drop out
This is something that are we thinking about and doing more sampling to flesh this out.
On the two ends of the spectrum, we speculate that there are two ways in which the surgeon can incorporate their reactions to their identity.
Some do that very well and incorporate it into their practice. Some have changed their direction in surgery completely.
There are probably two types:
Cowboy surgeon who says “I’m going to be doing big things, I can deal with big things.” They incorproate the event into them and move on. They seem to bounce back from each event easily.
The ‘tired cowboy’ who’s tired of each reaction. Who doesn’t recover completely each time, and who thinks that they may be in the wrong career for this. They aren’t up to dealing with everything.
These are obviously two extremes of the spectrum with loosely given names, and most surgeons probably fall somewhere in between.
Surgeons are more consistent in the depth and pattern of their reactions to adverse events than they imagine as they try to work through these experiences alone.
The development of a framework that describes surgeon’s reactions to adverse events will help surgeons understand their emotional and cognitive reactions during these times.
And how it ultimately becomes understood by the surgeon in terms of their identity as a surgeon. How they ultimately cope with it or not.
This might enable surgeons to more effectively manage these experiences and appropriately focus on their role in the event.
This, in turn, could provide better opportunities for learning from these events. Incorporating this framework into the training curricula has obvious educational benefit.
