The 29th Annual Meeting of the Chinese Society of Clinical Oncology (CSCO) was held in Jinan from September 16 to 19, 2026, bringing together oncology experts from around the world to explore innovative approaches to precision diagnosis and treatment. During the multiple myeloma session, Professor Aijun Liu of Beijing Chao-Yang Hospital, Capital Medical University, presented an update on a phase II clinical study of eprenetapopt combined with bispecific antibodies in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). In an interview with Oncology Frontier – Hematology Frontier, Professor Liu discussed the rationale behind the study design, the underlying mechanisms, the efficacy and safety profile of the combination, and directions for future research. The interview is presented below.

The 29th Annual Meeting of the Chinese Society of Clinical Oncology (CSCO) was held in Jinan from September 16 to 19, 2026, bringing together oncology experts from around the world to explore advances in precision diagnosis and treatment. During the lymphoma session, Professor Wenyu Li of Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital delivered a presentation entitled “Current Treatment Landscape and Controversies in Newly Diagnosed Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL).” Drawing on the 2025 EHA–EU MCL Network guidelines, the 2026 CSCO guidelines, and several pivotal clinical studies, Professor Li examined three major controversies in first-line MCL treatment: whether transplant-eligible patients still require autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) in the BTK inhibitor (BTKi) era; treatment options for older or transplant-ineligible patients; and precision treatment strategies for high-risk patients, including those with TP53 mutations. This article summarizes the key points of the presentation.
