Aggressive Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphomas (NHLs) are fast growing cancers (as opposed to indolent cancers). They involve the B-cells or T-cells of the immune system and often present as tumors in the lymph nodes. These high-grade cancers will move into the advanced stages much faster than indolent, low-grade tumors.
Aggressive NHLs usually respond to treatment, including chemotherapy, radiation, immunotherapy and radioimmunotherapy regimens.
The Zevalin radioimmunotherapy regimen is now approved for treatment of certain follicular lymphomas
