Relapsed DLBC treatment options
As a general rule patients who have diffuse large B-cell lymphoma who relapse
after initial treatment will be offered an autologous stem cell transplant as
the preferred treatment. However not every patient is able, or willing to
undergo a stem cell transplant.
There is no single treatment alternative to SCT that is universally accepted
as the "best" option for everyone. Therefore on this page we will try to give
you a list of treatment options that are being used for relapsed DLBC, and other
aggressive forms of NHL. Please be sure to discuss them with your doctor if you
find yourself in this situation.
