4.2.4 Emerging therapies

A number of emerging therapies are being investigated for lymphomas. Therapies that show promise for treating lymphomas include epigenetic therapies, new targeted therapies, immunotherapies, combination therapies and cell therapies (Sermer et al. 2019; Skrabek et al. 2019).

The key principle for precision medicine is prompt and clinically oriented communication and coordination with an accredited laboratory and pathologist. Tissue analysis is integral for access to emerging therapies and, as such, tissue specimens should be treated carefully to enable additional histopathological or molecular diagnostic tests in certain scenarios.
