このエピソードについて
When you hear the word “aggressive,” it can feel overwhelming, but in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), it can also point to something encouraging – a potential cure.
In this episode, we speak with Dr. Jonathon Cohen, of Winship Cancer Institute in Atlanta, GA, about what a DLBCL diagnosis really means, from how this common type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma is identified to current treatment options and emerging therapies. We explain what patients and families need to know about side effects. We also look at new treatments, including CAR T-cell therapy and bispecific antibodies, and the importance of open communication with your care team.
