PET Biomarkers in Lymphoma with Dr. Juan Pablo Alderuccio

Defining and tracking progression/remission in DLBCL patients can be subjective and complicated. In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Juan Pablo Alderuccio, a lymphoma specialist at the University of Miami. Dr. Alderuccio recently published his research [https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37460635/] on PET-based biomarkers in lymphoma patients. His research aims to give patients a more accurate knowledge of their lymphoma prognosis. Thank you to our episode sponsor, Regeneron.
