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

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

2. INTRODUCTION
Hospitals generated large volume wastes as a by-product of a variety health
services and procedure carried out such as surgery, dressing of wounds, dialysis,
deliveries, laboratory and dental procedures, etc.
Such a waste may be infectious or non-infectious. If such waste is not properly
collected, transported and disposed off, it not only results in causation of
hospital acquired infection( Nosocomial infections) but also poses a major public
health hazard by causing pollution of air, water and soil.
Persons who are constantly exposed to these wastes especially waste-sharps,
are nurses, rag pickers cleaners, laundry staff, etc . who are always risk of getting
fatal disease like Hepatitis B, C, and HIV through injuries by contaminated
needles and sharps as an occupational hazard. Also indiscriminate dumping
اإلغرااالعشرااي of the hospital wastes into backyards السرحاحالخلفيرللمنرحل or into
open municipal pits افراالبلدير , become breeding places for diseases (mosquitoes,
flies, rodents and microbes .(
Epidemics can result from the contamination of drinking water and food
sources with these infectious wastes, which are washed by rains. open burning of
infectious wastes, especially plastic will result in emission انبعحث of noxious gasses,
which may produce CA. Further, there is scope of re-use of syringes, needles,
polythene bags, catheters, etc .
Definitions of waste andhospital waste:
Waste: Everything is made for a defined purpose. “ Anything which is not
intended further use termed as waste.”
Any waste generated by out of hospitals can be said to be “hospital waste”.
Any waste generated by consequent to health care activity including those at
home is “Health Care Waste.”
3. Classificationof hazards waste
1. Infectious waste(suspect to contain pathogen)e.g. Lab culture, waste from I.W,
tissue swab, etc.
2. Pathological waste: (containing human tissue or fluid)e.g. Body parts , blood
and other fluids, etc
3. Sharps(sharp materials)
4. Pharmaceutical waste(containing pharmaceutical
5. Geno-toxic waste, e.g. containing cyto-toxic dugs األدايرالسرحمللخاليرح , geno-toxic
chemicals الماادالكيميحييالسحمالجيني .
6. Chemical waste, e.g. lab. Reagent,الكحشف film developer
7. Waste with heavy metal- broken thermometer
8. Pressurized containers-aerosol cans, gas cylinder
9.Radioactive material - unused liquid from radiotherapy, excreta from pt.
treated with unsealed radio-nucleotide.
Safe Waste Management PracticesHelps (Importance of safe waste
management):
To reduce the infectious/hazards nature of waste.
To reduce Volume of the waste.
To prevent misuse or abuse of waste.
To ensure occupational safety and health.
To recycle the wastes so that it can be serve as another utility item.
To maintain order and cleanliness in the hospital.
To maintain a healthy environment for pts, staff,and public.
To prevent spread of infectious diseases.
To project good impression of the management.
To attract more clientele.
To Generate revenue ليحدةالدخ for the institution.
4. Sources of healthcare wastes:
Governmental Hospital and private hospital.
Nursing home care.
Physician’s and Dentist’s clinics.
Dispensaries مستاصفح .
Medical research and training instruments.
Mortuaries
Blood banks
Lab's
Vaccine center, etc
HealthHazards of health-care waste:
Exposure of health-care waste can result in disease or injury due to one or more
of the following factors:
It contain infectious agent,
It contain toxic or chemical hazards,
It contain sharps,
It is radioactive.
All individual who exposed to such hazards material are potentially at risks,
including who generate the waste or who handle the waste:
The main groups who exposed:
1. Dr. and nurse, hospital maintenance personnel,
2. Pts. in health-care establishment,
3. Workers who facilities waste disposal
4. Visitors
5. Treatment and disposal technology for wastes:
A. Incineration الحرق , method of choice for most hazardous waste. But, recently
alternative method becoming popular.
- Incineration: is a high temp.(1000 o C)dry oxidation process, that reduces
organic and combustible waste ماراا to inorganic incombustible matter
results in significant reduction of waste vol. and wt(85-95). This process of
burning is usually select to treat waste that cannot be recycled, reused.
Incineration require no pre-treatment.
Waste types not to be Incinerated:
Pressurized gas containers,
Large amount of reactive chemical wastes,
Photographic and radioactive wastes,
Halogenated plastic such as PVC,
Waste with high Hg ليبق or cadmium content such as broken thermometer, used
batteries, etc,
Sealed ampoules مسداد or ampoules with heavy metals.
B. Chemical Disinfection التطهياالكيميحي (CD) Chemical are added to waste to kill
or inactivate pathogens, its contains, disinfection rather than sterilization.
CD suitable liquid for wastes, e.g. Blood , urine, stool, etc. C. Microwave
irradiation: Water contained within waste is rapidly heated by microwaves
and infectious components are destroyed by heat conduction.
C. Land Disposal Municipalالبلدية disposal sites:
Two type –open and sanitary landfills.
Health care waste should not be deposited on and around open dumps.
- Sanitary landfill is the choice because:-
1. geographic isolation of waste,
2. Appropriate engineering preparation,
3. Staff present on the site to control operation and
4. organized deposit and daily coverage .
E. Wet and dry thermal treatment: Wet technology: Infectious to high temp.
and high pressure stream.
Screw feed technology: Non-burn, dry thermal disinfection process in which
waste is reduced by 80% in vol. and by 20-25% in wt.
6. F. Inertization : Mixing waste with cement and other substance before disposal
in order to minimize risk of toxic substances in waste to migrate in surface or
ground water.. Proportion of mixing: 65% cement, 15% lime and 5% water .
H. Categories waste: as per these rule, there are 10 categories of biomedical
waste:
Option Waste category
Cat.-1 Human anatomical waste.
Cat.-2 Animal waste-animal tissues, etc. including waste generated in vet. Hosp.
college, discharge from animal house.
Cat.-3 Microbiology and biotechnology waste.
Cat-4 Waste sharps(used and unused-needle ,
Cat. -5 Discarded medicine and cytotoxic drugs Cat.
Cat.-6 Soiled waste-contaminated with blood and body fluid-swab, dressing,
plasters, etc.
Cat-7 Solid waste-catheters, IV set, bl.bag etc.
Cat-8 Liquid waste-waste generated from lab.
Cat-9 Incineration ash.
Cat-10 Chemicals Waste wastes of disinfectants insecticides, etc.

Strategy AdoptedFor Hospital waste Management:
Waste reduction strategy.
Waste assessment strategy.
Waste recycling strategy.
Hospital waste disposal.
7. Waste reduction strategy: Objectives Reducing Waste quantity by a significant %.
Decreasing waste disposal efforts and expense. Recycling all paper and cardboard
waste Enhance hospital’s reputation in community
Waste assessment strategy: Waste assessment indicates type and amount of
waste generated in the hospital .
Hospital Waste Disposal: This is the critical part total hospital waste management,
because any failure in this aspect hazards consequence GOH has prescribed certain
procedure and guidelines as follow:
1. Collection of wastes
2. Source segregation
3. Transportation
4. Storage
5. Treatment
Dos and DONTs of Health Care Waste:
DOs
Segregate all waste at the point where they generate
Have at least 4 types of container in each area of generation
- One to collect kitchen garbage قمحم
- Second to collect infected waste
- Third to collect all type of waste sharp
- Forth waste paper, wrapper, etc.
- Do designate a separate place to keep mop, etc.
DON’Ts
Do not consider any type of health waste in a causal manner
Do not through any type of health care waste into street bins
Do not encourage reuse of the disposables
Do not attempt to recycle and/or dispose without ensuring adequate
decontamination
Do not incinerate all kinds of waste.
