Lymphoma specialist who wrote the definitive DLBCL review and helped establish polatuzumab and other new agents.
Laurie Sehn developed the revised International Prognostic Index for the rituximab era, led the BC Cancer population-based studies that showed R-CHOP's real-world impact, and was a lead investigator of the GO29365 trial establishing polatuzumab vedotin in relapsed DLBCL and of POLARIX. She authored the 2021 NEJM review of DLBCL and chairs lymphoma care in British Columbia.

A new combination for relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma that adds a CD19-directed antibody to the established lenalidomide and rituximab pairing, with the largest progression-free survival hazard ratio reported in the setting.
A failure worth reading: the drug worked where patients could tolerate the regimen it was added to, and harmed where they could not. It is the strongest argument in lymphoma for designing first-line combinations around what an older patient can finish.
Rituximab remains the CD20 antibody used in first-line diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. The result is a warning against assuming an antibody improvement carries from one B-cell malignancy to another: the same substitution improved progression-free survival in chronic lymphocytic leukaemia and in follicular lymphoma.
