Dr. Rosen explains the available treatment options for patients diagnosed with diffuse large B-cell lymphomas.
Dr. Rosen:
Treatments for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma in general involve chemotherapy, usually multiple agents. We call this combination chemotherapy and antibody therapy, and as a result of the combination of chemotherapy and antibody therapy, we can cure approximately half of the individuals diagnosed with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
