Overview
Medical Therapy
There is no consensus regarding the best treatment algorithm, but watch-and-wait policies, alkylators, anthracycline-containing regimens (eg. CHOP), rituximab, autologous and allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation have all been applied. The exception is localized disease, which can be cured by local irradiation. The typical pattern is one of good responses from treatment, followed by relapses some years later.
