Dr. Rosen explains why the most aggressive B-cell lymphomas are the most curable and describes large B-cell lymphomas.
Dr. Rosen:
The most aggressive B-cell lymphomas, ironically, we have high cure-rates with modern therapy because the cells appear to be more sensitive to the chemotherapeutic agents that are available.
Diffuse large B-cell lymphomas are the most common lymphomas we see in adults. The cure-rate for diffuse large B-cell lymphomas in the range of about 50%, this is a disease that’s typically treated with chemotherapy and antibody therapy, combined.
