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.
Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

CONCLUSION
3. INTRODUCTION
Health of people in a country cannot be
isolated from health of mankind in general.
Health and disease have no political or
geographical boundaries. International co-
operation is necessary to ensure
collaborative efforts to eradicate disease,
maintain good health and combat
pollution. Attempts have been made to
enforce this by the establishment of various
national and international health agencies,
one of which is the WORLD HEALTH
ORGANIZATION.
4. WHY DO W NEED
INTERNATIONAL
HEALTH AGENCIES?
• Diseases spread from one country to another.
Examples are syphilis, plague, cholera, AIDS.
• Research, knowledge and development in
health should not be confined to one
country.
• Poor health conditions in a country are
associated with and lead to poor
development.
• Population explosion has to be contained if
the human race has to survive.
5. HISTORY OF THE WHO
PRE-WHO EFFORTS
• International Sanitary Conference (1851)
Objective: To introduce order and uniformity into quarantine measures,
which varied among countries.
• Pan American Sanitary Bureau (1902)
Objective: To coordinate quarantine procedures in the American states.
• The Health Organizationof The League of Nations(1923)
Objective: To take steps in matters of international concern for the
prevention and control of disease.
6. ESTABLISHMENT OF
THE WHO
• When diplomatsmet to form the United Nations
in 1945, one of the things that was discussed was
the establishment of a global health organization.
• WHO’s constitutionofficiallycame into force on 7
April 1948-a date which is now celebratedevery
year as World Health Day. It was drafted under
the Chairmanshipof Dr.Rene Sand.
• It was establishedon 7 April 1948, and
headquarteredin Geneva, Switzerland.
• The constitutionhad been signed by 61 countries
on 22 July 1946, with the first meeting of the
World Health Assembly finishing on 24 July, 1948.
7.
8. OBJECTIVE OF THE WORLD HEALTH
ORGANIZATION
• The main objective of the
WHO was stated as, “THE
ATTAINMENTOF THE
HIGHEST LEVEL OF
HEALTH BY ALL”
9. • In accordance with this objective, Health for All
(HFA) was defined in 1977, when the Thirtieth
World Health Assembly decided that
governments and WHO should focus primarily on
attaining by the year 2000 a level of health that
permits every individual to lead a socially and
economically productive life.
• The Declaration of Alma-Ata, adopted in 1978,
stated that primary health care (PHC) is the key to
attaining HFA.
11. World Health Assembly
• It is the governing body of the organization.
• Consists of delegates of the member states.
• They determine health policy and programs.
• Appoints the Director General.
• Current Director General is Tedros Adhanom
from Ethiopia.
12. Executive board
Consists of 32
members, who are
usually qualified in
healthcare.
It’s function is to give
effect to the policies
and decisions of the
WHO.
13. Secretariat
• This is the administrative wing of the WHO.
• It is headed by the Director-General
• They have 14 divisions and programs such as
-Division of Epidemiological Surveillance and Health
Assessment
-Division of Mental Health
-Division of Communicable Diseases
-Division of Family health
• It provides technical and managerial support to
member states for planning and implementing their
national health programs.
14. MEMBERSHIP
TO THE WHO
• The membership in WHO is open to all
countries.
• Associate members are countries with non self
governing territories.
• Currently, there are 191 member countries and
2 associate members.
• India became a party to the WHO Constitution
on 12 January 1948
• Dr Henk Bekedam is the WHO Representative
to India.
15. HEADQUARTERS AND
REGIONAL OFFICES
• The headquarters of the
WHO is situated in Geneva,
Switzerland.
• There are 6 regional offices:
1.South-EastAsia Region
2.EasternMediterranean
Region
3.Regionof the Americas
4.Western Pacific region

ORGANIZATION
• The organizationworks to eradicatemany diseases as well as
increase awareness throughresearch, vaccination programmes,
setting up of health centres, altering health policies of nations etc.
• One of the success stories of the who was the eradicationof
Smallpox.
• Smallpox is an acute contagiousdisease caused by the variola virus.
It was one of the world's most devastatingdiseases known to
humanity.
• The last known natural case was in Somalia in 1977.It was declared
eradicatedin 1980following a global immunization campaign led by
the World Health Organization.
19. CONTROL OF EBOLA OUTBREAK EFFORTS AGAINST
AIDS
IMMUNIZATION PROGRAMS
20. WORK IN INDIA
• India, in collaboration with the WHO
successfully eradicated Polio. The last
reported case was in 2013 and in 2014,
the WHO declared India and the South
East Asia region as “Polio-free”.
• Currently, the focus is on preventing
the spread of communicable diseases
such as Tb and AIDS.
• India is on its way to eradicating
Measles through a vigorous vaccination
programme. The goal is to have n new
cases of Measles by 2020.
22. WORLD HEALTH DAY
THEMES
• WORLD HEALTH DAY is celebrated
every year on April 7th.
• It is held to mark the founding of the
WHO and is seen as an opportunity
by the organization to draw
worldwide attention to a subject of
major importance to global health
each year.
• Every year a theme is selected to
spread awareness about the
particular subject.
23.
24.
25. CONCLUSION
International health collaboration helps in tackling
a multitude of health problems. The increase in
awareness has lead to improvement in global
health in the last few decades. Thus, work of
organizations like the WHO in essential .Continued
efforts will definitely help in achieving the main
objective of the WHO, which is ensuring health for
