title: Monoclonal antibody (MoAb) therapy in non-Hodgkin's lymphomas.
abstract: The advance of monoclonal antibody (MoAb) technology in recent years provides a further treatment modality for cancer therapy. In this review, we discussed the various strategies available for MoAb therapy. We also addressed the problems encountered so far in early clinical trials and suggested possible solutions. We finally reviewed some of the interesting clinical studies conducted so far on the use of MoAbs in patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphomas.
