Until the advent of anti-CD20 antibody therapy, the mainstay of treatment in non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) was standard chemotherapy. The combination of antibodies with chemotherapy has enhanced event-free and overall survival in both diffuse large B cell NHL and follicular NHL.1 With this example of combined chemo/ immunotherapy to enhance clinical response, it has been considered of interest to attempt a similar approach for T cell NHL and Hodgkin’s lymphoma (HL).
