Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is the most common subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Approximately 40% of cases have extranodal involvement. Renal involvement is rare, however, it is associated with poor prognosis. Furthermore, renal involvement increases the risk of central nervous system (CNS) recurrence. Therefore, it is recommended that CNS prophylaxis should be included in lymphoma treatment in cases of renal involvement.
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.
