The era of chemo, or chemoimmunotherapy, is ending. We have the largest practice with chemoimmunotherapeutic regimens. The whole perspective is changing. The chemotherapy as such is evolving to targeted chemotherapy.

We are not yet ready to use the molecular targeted approaches in high-grade lymphomas. We are, however, ready to use modern immunotherapy and it is of great importance that patients refractory to the first two lines of chemo, refractory to the high dose chemo of autologous transplants have a chance, and the modern immunotherapy may offer them a realistic chance of cure.

The more compounds we have, the better we can treat and cure patients relapsing/refractory to the first line. But it is the first line where we win most of the battles.
