Title: Rituximab in patients with mucosal-associated lymphoid tissue-type lymphoma of the ocular adnexa. Author: Ferreri AJ, Ponzoni M, Martinelli G, Muti G, Guidoboni M, Dolcetti R, Doglioni C. Journal: Haematologica; 2005 Nov; 90(11):1578-9. PubMed ID: 16266908. Abstract: Eight patients with ocular adnexal mucosal-associated lymphpid tissue (MALT) lymphoma were treated with rituximab, at diagnosis (n=5) or relapse (n=3). All untreated patients achieved lymphoma regression, while relapsing patients had no benefit. Four responding patients experienced early relapse. The median time to progression was 5 months. The efficacy of rituximab in ocular adnexal lymphoma is lower than that reported for gastric MALT lymphomas.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
