Evaluating salvage radiotherapy in patients with DLBCL

Gareth Gregory, MBBS, PhD, FRACP, FRCPA, Monash University, Monash Health, Melbourne, Australia, discusses a study investigating whether patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) can be salvaged with radiotherapy. Although there are novel approaches to DLBCL treatment, radiotherapy is more attractive, especially to older/frailer patients. Results demonstrated that 30-40% of patients with low volume disease could be salvaged with radiotherapy, avoiding the need to go through further toxic therapy. This interview took place at the 64th ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition congress in New Orleans, LA.
