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

Answer 1

There is not really enough information here to answer your question. You tell us 'not diffuse large b cell', but there are so many types of lymphomas that we need more info than this to answer.

We do know you are dealing with a high grade lymphoma. These types of lymphomas are condsidered to be aggressive and they tend to grow and spread quickly. They also have noticeable symptoms. The good news is that oftentimes, high-grade lymphomas can be cured with standard chemotherapies.

One common chemo regimen for high grade lyphomas is called CHOP - it is a 'cocktail' that consists of 4 different drugs: Cyclophosphamide (also called Cytoxan/Neosar), Doxorubicin (or Adriamycin), Vincristine (Oncovin) and Prednisolone. Oftetimes ritixumab (Rituxan) is included as well.

Here is a link to a site that will connect you with several organizations that can provide information and support on lymphoma. Lots of good info here:

Answer 2

I presume what you recommend is the two Burkitt's lymphoma or Burkitt's-like lymphoma; there is presently no affliction entity that's talked approximately as "severe-grade b-cellular lymphoma" -- that's a non-prognosis, and could be clarified as to in spite of if that's DLBCL or Burkitt's lymphoma. Burkitt's-like lymphoma is a prognosis on the verge of extinction, and with the subsequent version of the diagnostic gadget it's going to be dissolved, with those circumstances previously straightforward as Burkitt's-like lymphoma only being talked approximately as Burkitt's lymphoma for readability's sake. Burkitt's-like lymphoma could desire to be taken care of only like Bukitt's lymphoma. Radiotherapy has NO function interior the treatment of Burkitt's. constrained-point Burkitt's (unmarried belly mass on CT and puppy test, regular lactate dehydrogenase) could be taken care of with 3 cycles of a chemotherapy coctail talked approximately as R-CODOX-M. very few sufferers present day with constrained affliction. The others will acquire R-CODOX-M-IVAC for a entire of four alternating cycles (2 R-CODOX-M, 2 R-IVAC). All sufferers additionally will acquire prophylactic chemotherapy into the spinal fluid. the different severe-grade b-cellular lymphoma is lymphoblastic lymphoma. that's an exceedingly distinctive affliction, and is taken care of as though it have been acute lymphoblastic leukemia. wish that helps. the advice I certainly have is to make confident that an authority pathologist comments the case to make confident the prognosis is acceptable -- that's the affected person's top to get a 2nd opinion on prognosis to boot as treatment.
