So the most interesting data in this meeting in regards to new forms of treatment for patients, in particular, are new forms of radiation therapy. We use an hypofractionated schedule in order to reduce the toxicity, maintaining the efficacy in patient with indolent lymphomas. In a few patient treated with 12 Gy and in four fractions, the overall response rate was 100%, and without toxicity only with grade one, two local effects, which is a very interesting step forward in the radiation therapy in these patients.

Another strategy is the combination of new drugs, in particular, in poor prognosis lymphomas, like for example, relapsed or refractory Hodgkin lymphoma, or peripheral T-cell lymphomas. The need for new drugs and for more investigations, and obviously, all the studies regarding the new developments in CAR T-cell therapy.
