Overview
Several subtypes of Diffuse large B cell lymphoma have been identified, each having a different clinical presentation and prognosis.However, the usual treatment for each of these is chemotherapy, often in combination with an antibody targeted at the tumour cells. Through these treatments, more than half of patients with Diffuse large B cell lymphoma can be cured,[1] and overall survival for older adults at five years is around 58%.[2]
