Abstract

Radioimmunotherapy (RIT) studies demonstrate favorable efficacy and safety profiles in follicular lymphoma with the primary toxicity being reversible myelosuppression. Many studies have demonstrated higher overall response rates and durations of response when used earlier in the treatment algorithm for follicular or indolent lymphoma. This chapter asks a number of questions that will drive home the nuances of RIT use. It commences with a discourse on the criteria which excludes a patient from receiving RIT. The consolidation in aggressive lymphomas are encouraging but should not be adopted as a standard approach outside of a clinical trial.
