Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is treated with rituximab and cyclophosphamide, hydroxydaunorubicin, vincristine (Oncovin), prednisone, and bleomycin (R-CHOP), while mediastinal diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is generally treated with radiation therapy. Burkitt lymphoma may be addressed with combined chemoth...

Clonal T-cell receptor gamma-chain gene rearrangement by PCR-based GeneScan analysis in advanced cutaneous T-cell lymphoma: a critical evaluation. Detection of clonal T-cell receptor γ (TCRγ)-chain gene rearrangement is a promising approach to distinguish between cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCLs...
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma is common in persons of predominately European descent but rare in Asians. Why is unknown but is likely genetically-determined. Environmental factors may also operate but are likely to be less important. When CLL occurs in Asians it has differen...
