A member asked:

My mother is 82 years old she has lymphoma cancer stage 4. how long does she have to live?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Undetermined: Prior to chemotherapy for lymphoma the survival was dismal. With the introduction of CHOPP survival went to 50%. With the introduction of Rituxan (rituximab) targeting CD20 in the lymphocyte the survival reached 90% and now newer drugs targeting the lymphocytes are in clinical trials.
