Study reveals cause for different outcomes for patients that experience early and late relapse of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma
A recent study conducted by TFRI-funded researchers at BC Cancer sheds light on the cause behind the different outcomes of patients with diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) who experienced a relapse in their disease. The study confirmed that patients whose cancer relapses shortly after treatment typically have poor responses to additional chemotherapy-based treatment. However, when the relapse occurs more than two years from the time of diagnosis, the outcomes to chemotherapy are significantly better.
