The following educational supplement on “Controversies in Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma” addresses three primary areas. The first section,“Biology of Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphomas,” focuses on recent advances in understanding the pathogenesis and biology of this disorder with a spotlight on new classification methods that should lead to improved understanding and treatment of this disease. The second section,“State of Salvage Therapy for Relapsed and Primary Refractory Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma,” addresses recent trials that have provided a new benchmark for outcomes of patients undergoing autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) after failing initial therapy with rituximab-containing induction regimens. This section reviews some of the new prognostic data that will help categorize patients into those with a good or poor prognosis after autologous HSCT and how novel salvage regimens are needed to improve these results. The third section,“Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation Conditioning Regimens and Post-Transplant Maintenance Therapy for Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma,” assesses outcomes achieved with a variety of novel and conventional conditioning regimens, including the use of radioimmunotherapy and allogeneic HSCT for poor-prognosis patients. This section also describes potential uses for new agents as maintenance therapy after autologous HSCT.
