The Evolution of Frontline Therapy for Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma

Frontline therapy for diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) has seen significant changes, particularly with the introduction of the Polaris trial data, comparing R-Chop to R-Chop with Polatuzumab. The data showed benefits of Polatuzumab-based therapy, especially in non-germinal center B cell DLBCL. This led to a shift towards using Polatuzumab-based therapy, particularly for non-GCB patients, with ongoing monitoring of the treatment's long-term benefits.
