What is a treatment for b cell high grade lymphoma? Not diffuse large b cell....?

Answer 1

Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma is another name for B cell high grade lymphboma - The treatment for this disease are -
Chemotherapy

Treatment depends on how far the disease has progressed. It may include external-beam radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or biological therapy (boosting the body's immune response to the disease). Rituxan, a genetically engineered drug involving monoclonal antibodies, has been approved for use against some low-grade (slow-growing) non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Bone marrow transplantation is also sometimes used. In this technique, bone marrow (blood cell–producing tissue inside bone) is taken from the patient and treated to kill any cancer cells. The patient is then given very high dose chemotherapy designed to destroy the cancer; it also destroys the remaining bone marrow. After chemotherapy, the stored marrow is reinserted into the patient. In children, chemotherapy is the most common treatment.-

Answer 2

High grade NHL's are often quite responsive to a standard chemo regimen of "CHOP" - even in advanced cases. The previous poster said that High grade b-cell lymphoma is another name for Non Hodgkins lymphoma. This is only partly correct - it is one type of Non-Hodgkins lymphoma, but there are others. Low-grade b-cell NHL's, for example, spread and grow substantially slower than high-grade NHL's, but on the other hand, (and likely due to their slow growth), they are less responsive to chemotherapies like CHOP.

Best of luck to you!
