Popis: Nodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma (NMZL) is a rare subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, usually presented at advanced stage. The treatment for NMZL is currently consistent with follicular lymphoma which includes observation for asymptomatic patients to cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisone (CHOP) or CHOP plus rituximab regimen, fludarabine or bendamustine and rituximab (B-R) for advanced, symptomatic patients. The B-R regimen is effective and could be evaluated further as the first-line therapy.
