Epstein–Barr virus positive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (EBV+ DLBCL, NOS) is a form of diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCL) accounting for around 10-15% of DLBCL cases. DLBCL are lymphomas in which B-cell lymphocytes proliferate excessively, invade multiple tissues, and often causes life-threatening tissue damage.
DLBCL patients are at higher risk when they relapse early after R-CHOP chemotherapy and have a poor response to second-line rituximab-containing treatments even when these regimens involve high-dose therapy and autologous stem cell transplant. [6] Approximately half of DLBCL patients develop CHOP-resistant cells.

Despite this, many chemotherapy treatments can also suppress the immune system by causing lymphopenia or impairing lymphocyte function. Integrating ...
