Is frontline R-CHOP still the standard of care for DLBCL?

During the 16th International Conference on Malignant Lymphoma (16-ICML), the Lymphoma Hub spoke with Laurie Sehn, The University of British Columbia, Vancouver, CA, and Grzegorz Nowakowski, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, US. We asked, Is frontline R-CHOP still the standard of care for DLBCL?

They begin by revisiting a debate from ICML centering on what the optimal upfront therapy is for DCLB, for Sehn R-CHOP remains the standard of care in most settings and Nowakowski suggests instances where other approaches might be preferred. They go on to discuss recent clinical studies and their impact on the current treatment landscape of DLBCL. Finally they explore how to integrate the results from clinical trials and highlight a promising future for DCLB treatment.
