Hope for Rare Cancers: Blastic Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cell Neoplasm (BPDCN)

Eunice Wang, MD Join us as we speak to Dr. Eunice Wang, the Chief of Leukemia Service and Professor of Oncology at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center in Buffalo, NY. In this episode, Dr. Wang delves into the rare blood cancer, blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN). Usually identified by characteristic deep purple lesions, oncologists continue to raise awareness of this rare diagnosis, as swift referral and treatment usually leads to better outcomes. After being universally identified as BPDCN by World Health Organization (WHO) in 2018, clinical trials and CAR T-cell therapies have brought new hope to BPDCN patients.
