A member asked:
Can you tell me if there are better options for treating non hodgkins lymphoma besides chemo?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: If CHOPP is considered standard chemo, then the use of immunotherapeutic agents are also in play. The mAbs that attack the marker CD20 defined by Levy are given as Rituxin which is able to induce ADCC in the tumor.
