Abstract
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) prognosis has significantly improved in recent years; however, the possible survival benefit of new treatment options should be evaluated outside of clinical trials. We investigated 73 consecutive MCL patients managed from 2006 to 2020. For younger patients <65 years old, the median PFS was 72 months and we reported a 2-year, 5-year, and 10-year PFS of 73%, 62%, and 41%; median OS was not reached and we reported a 2-year, 5-year, and 10-year OS of 88%, 82%, and 66%. For patients aged 75 years or older, the median PFS was 36 months and we reported a 2-year, 5-year, and 10-year PFS of 52%, 37%, and 37%; median OS was not reached and we reported a 2-year, 5-year, and 10-year OS of 72%, 55%, and 55%. The median PFS was significantly reduced for patients treated between 2006 and 2010 compared to patients treated between 2011 and 2015 (p = 0.04). Interestingly, there was a trend towards improved OS for patients treated between 2016 and 2020 compared to between 2006 and 2010 and between 2011 and 2015 (5-year OS was 91%, 44%, and 33%). These findings could be due to the introduction of BR as a first-line regimen for elderly patients and to the introduction of ibrutinib as a second-line regimen.

Abstract
Recent advances in multiple myeloma therapy have increased the depth of response and ultimately survivals; however, the prognosis remains poor. The BCMA antigen is highly expressed in myeloma cells, thus representing a target for novel therapies. Several agents that target BCMA through different mechanisms, including bispecific T cell engagers drug conjugated to antibody and CAR-T cells, are now available or under development. Immunotherapies targeting BCMA have shown good results in efficacy and safety in multiple myeloma patients previously treated with several lines of therapy. This review will discuss the recent development of anti-BCMA targeted treatments in myeloma, with a special focus on currently available agents.

Abstract
Bone disease is among the defining characteristics of symptomatic Multiple Myeloma (MM). Imaging techniques such as fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography (FDG PET/CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can identify plasma cell proliferation and quantify disease activity. This function renders these imaging tools as suitable not only for diagnosis, but also for the assessment of bone disease after treatment of MM patients. The aim of this article is to review FDG PET/CT and MRI and their applications, with a focus on their role in treatment response evaluation. MRI emerges as the technique with the highest sensitivity in lesions' detection and PET/CT as the technique with a major impact on prognosis. Their comparison yields different results concerning the best tool to evaluate treatment response. The inhomogeneity of the data suggests the need to address limitations related to these tools with the employment of new techniques and the potential for a complementary use of both PET/CT and MRI to refine the sensitivity and achieve the standards for minimal residual disease (MRD) evaluation.
