A s
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.
