Real-World Assessment of Care and Efficiency With Subcutaneous Rituximab

Season 1, Episode 45,   Mar 28, 2022, 01:00 PM

This week, CancerNetwork spoke with Matthew Matasar, MD, a lymphoma specialist and chief of the Medical Oncology Service at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center Bergen, about research from the December issue of ONCOLOGY titled, “Real-World Assessment of Patient Care and Practice Efficiency With the Introduction of Subcutaneous Rituximab.”

The retrospective, observational analysis examined patient care delivery and practice efficiency changes using real-world data. Patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, follicular lymphoma, or chronic lymphocytic leukemia who received a rituximab-containing regimen were eligible for the study.

Matasar touched on subcutaneous rituximab, the role it can play in treatment, the time savings associated with its use, and more.
