Cancer Update: Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma Treatment Options


Overview


Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) is a rapidly increasing cancer in the United States, affecting the lymphatic system. The number of cases has nearly doubled in the past 30 years, with approximately 360,000 Americans living with NHL and around 58,000 new cases expected yearly.

Challenges in Treatment


NHL can be challenging to treat because the cancer is found throughout the body in areas like the bone marrow. Patients often experience multiple relapses, making it crucial to explore all treatment options and stay informed about the latest therapies.

Traditional treatments include chemotherapy and radiation therapy, which target cancer cells but unfortunately also harm healthy cells. These treatments can take up to five months and may require hospitalization.

Innovative Approaches


A new class of drugs is revolutionizing NHL treatment by engaging the immune system. Radioimmunotherapy (RIT) combines monoclonal antibodies with radiation. These antibodies target specific tumor cells, delivering radiation directly to them.

Advantages of RIT


The FDA has approved two RIT products that offer significant benefits:

- Efficient Treatment: Completed in one regimen over 1-2 weeks, reducing the need for frequent doctor visits.
- Outpatient Convenience: Patients can receive treatment without hospital stays.

Studies indicate that using RIT early in NHL treatment can be particularly effective, potentially reducing the need for extensive chemotherapy. RIT delivers targeted radiation by binding to the CD20 antigen on B-cells, ensuring precision in treatment.

Conclusion


For NHL patients, discussing these innovative treatment options with healthcare providers is vital. Staying informed and considering therapies like RIT can significantly enhance treatment experiences and outcomes for patients and their families.
