A member asked:
After relapsing with nhl (diffuse large b-cell) is it better to do auto stem cell transplant or the collection only and then rituxan (rituximab) maintenance?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: After a relapse, diffuse large b-cell lymphoma is only rarely cured using "conventional" chemotherapy. High-dose chemotherapy with autologous peripheral blood stem cell rescue is the best chance for long term survival and cure of this disease.
