A patient with advanced and chemotherapy-refractory nodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma was given a course of chimeric CD 20 monoclonal antibody Rituximab. Partial response was observed without any major toxicities. Retreatment with Rituximab for disease progression six months after the first course led to partial remission. Adjuvant radiotherapy was given for the residual disease and, currently, patient's disease remains stable eight months after the second course of Rituximab. This case demonstrates the therapeutic efficacy and feasibility of retreatment with Rituximab for relapsed or refractory low grade lymphoma.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
