Cancer patients often ask which foods would be best to consume to improve outcomes. This is a difficult question to answer as there are no case-controlled, prospective studies that control for confounding factors. Therefore, a literature review utilizing PubMed was conducted with the goal to find evidence-based support for certain diets in specific cancer patients—specifically, we reviewed data for colon cancer, prostate cancer, breast cancer, malignant gliomas, and cancer patients on immunotherapy. Improved outcomes in colon cancer and patients on immunotherapy were found with high-fiber diets. Improved outcomes in malignant gliomas were found with ketogenic diets. Improved outcomes in prostate cancer and breast cancer were found with plant-based diets. However, the data are not conclusive for breast cancer. Additionally, the increased intake of omega-3 fatty acids were also associated with better outcomes for prostate cancer. While current research, especially in humans, is minimal, the studies discussed in this review provide the groundwork for future research to further investigate the role of dietary intervention in improving cancer outcomes.

e19507 Background: Secondary CNS lymphoma (SCNSL) in setting of relapsed, refractory (R/R) B cell lymphoma has unmet needs as this disease state has a poor prognosis with a reported median survival of 2 to 5 months. Historically, the mainstay of treatment for SCNSL in setting of R/R B cell lymphoma included high dose methotrexate, whole brain radiation (WBRT), and/or chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplant. More recently, chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy has gained attention as a new modality of therapy for patients with R/R SCNSL. The first two CAR-T cell products to gain FDA approval for R/R B cell lymphoma were Axicabtagene ciloleucel and Tisagenlecleucel. In the initial studies for these products, patients with SCNSL were excluded due to concerns for immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) and cytokine release syndrome (CRS). Retrospective data has shown that patients with R/R SCNSL treated with Axicabtagene ciloleucel or Tisagenlecleucel could achieve high response rates; however, the data on the durability of response remains unclear. Recently, Lisocabtagene maraleucel, another CAR-T cell product, was approved for the treatment of R/R B cell lymphoma. The TRANSCEND trial which led to Lisocabtagene maraleucel’s approval did not exclude patients with SCNSL; however, only 3% of the patients had SCNSL. As such, literature on the durability of response of CAR-T cell therapy in R/R SCNSL still remains sparse. Here, we share our single institution experience of patients with R/R SCNSL treated with Tisagenlecleucel, an anti- CD19CAR-T cell therapy. Methods: For this observational study, patients with R/R SCNSL were identified and placed on a follow up list. Data was collected from May 2021 till December 2021. Data was analyzed for incidence of ICANS, CRS, and for duration of response. Results: A total of 3 patients with SCNSL were identified and treated at our center with Tisagelecleucel. One patient achieved complete response 30 days post CAR-T therapy but the day +100 imaging revealed progression of disease and was placed on subsequent line of therapy. One patient had partial response with progression of disease noted on day +60 imaging and died from complications of disease progression. One patient died from complications of CNS toxicity after receiving CAR-T therapy. Two patients had ICANS grade 4 and CRS grade 1 toxicities. One patient had no CNS or CRS toxicity. Conclusions: Our series is limited by the number of patients; however, suggests that though CAR-T therapy may result in disease response in R/R SCNSL the duration of response may be limited and that such patients may require other therapies such as autologous stem cell transplant to improve long term prognosis.
