Abstract:
Treatment outcome of malignant lymphomas has been improved since molecular targeted drugs including rituximab became clinically available. However, treatment for relapsed or refractory lymphoma has not been fully established. As second-line therapy for patients with relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma or diffuse large B cell lymphoma, chemotherapy including alkylating agents or purine analogues, high-dose chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplantation (SCT), and allogeneic SCT are usually selected. Recently, we can also select new therapies including new anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody (MoAb)(IMMU-106(hA20)), anti-CD22 MoAb (epratuzumab), and radioimmunotherapy including Y-90 ibritumomab and I-131 tositumomab.

Disorders of Leukocytes
Leukopenia may result from bone marrow disorders, autoimmune diseases, and infectious diseases. For example, conditions such as multiple myeloma and aplastic anemia can impair the bone marrow's ability to produce adequate leukocytes. Similarly, autoimmune diseases like lupus and viral infections such as HIV can prompt the immune...
Secondary Lymphoid Organs
The spleen is a vital organ in the lymphatic system, nestled in the upper left side of the abdomen. It is composed of two primary regions: the red pulp and the white pulp, each having distinct functions. The red pulp performs a significant role in blood filtration. It efficiently purges the blood of old or damaged red blood cells and...
Abnormal Proliferation
Tumor Progression
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...
Lymphoid Cells and Tissues
Lymphoid cells consist of various types of immune system cells. These include B and T lymphocytes, which are responsible for producing antibodies and killing infected cells, respectively. Dendritic cells act as messengers between the innate and adaptive...
