Show Notes
As Nick once again leaves Bashar and Cale unsupervised they attend Blood 2026 and speak with the finest Australian and New Zealand haematologists in Auckland.

Thanks to Dr Georgina Calov, Dr Lise Kempler, Dr Miles Ma, Dr Michel Lu, Dr Alison Chandler for putting up with us and we'll resume our scheduled programming as usual.

More from Bloody Minded
The Bloody Minded crew hit the road on a tour of Australia’s big things, and this week’s stop is the biggest of them all: the Big Cell. Joining us as tour guide (and DJ, with an all-Phil-Collins playlist) is Dr Jed Kitson, final-year haematology registrar, here to rescue us from a run of indolent lymphomas and talk about the most common aggressive lymphoma in Australia. From R-CHOP to Axi-cel, from Hans to CNS staging, this is a roadtrip you just can't miss. TIMESTAMPS 00:56 - The boys take J...
Look! It’s a follicular lymphoma! No wait, it’s a DLBCL! No wait, it’s a CLL? Actually is it a leukaemia? Join Nick, Cale and Bashar as they wrestle with the morphological and prognostic chameleon that is Mantle Cell Lymphoma. With all the bad bits of an indolent lymphoma and all the bad bits of an aggressive one – as Michael Jackson would say, it's bad (really, really bad). Except when it isn't. Who knows what mantle is doing – we don't think it knows itself TIMESTAMPS 0:57 - Conspiracies 10...
What do you call a small B-cell lymphoma that isn't CD5 positive, isn't CD10 positive and generally refuses to wear any of the usual hats? Probably marginal zone lymphoma. Possibly. Maybe. Join the Bloody Minded crew as we head to the edge of the follicle where the bloodstream's customs officers live, and look at what happens when they go rogue. Discover how to cure a cancer with a PPI, and why we're so very bored of the NF-κB pathway. TIMESTAMPS 0:57 - Whisky sponsorship pls and thx 2:11 - W...

Why do haematologists get excited over smudges on a film? What is the deal with that whole IGHV situation? Why is Bashar no longer welcome at the zoo?
