Abstract:
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a unique lymphoma that is heterogeneous in its clinical course, and lacks consensus treatment approaches. It is often treated with immunochemotherapy at diagnosis and chronic therapies in relapse. Despite significant advances in therapy, MCL remains incurable. Maintaining patients' health-related quality of life (HRQOL) is an important treatment goal. Assessment of HRQOL elucidates the impact of an illness and its treatment on patients' lives. This review highlights the relevance of HRQOL assessment in MCL, evaluates existing evidence, current knowledge gaps and challenges in HRQOL assessment, and defines future directions for improving HRQOL evaluation in MCL patients.
