A good review of the state-of-the-art for treatment of NHL can be found at:

medscape.com

Lots of discussion of MAb treatments (rituximab, Zevalin and Bexxar) as well as prospects for combining MAbs with chemotherapy.

The conclusion bodes well for Idec and patients:

"There is a sense in the clinical community that the management of low-grade lymphomas is changing rapidly. For the optimists among us, it seems that a growing number of treatment strategies are producing the CR rates of 80% or more that Dr. Rai indicated would be necessary before real meaningful improvement in survival can be achieved. Dare we hope that in the coming decade, low-grade lymphomas may be immunologically cured?"
