[Treatment options in non-Hodgkin lymphomas].
Histological diagnosis according to WHO classification and determination of usual prognostic factors are necessary to choose between treatment options in non-Hodgkin lymphomas. If an observation period could be frequently proposed to patients with indolent lymphoma, first line treatment usually includes the anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody rituximab (in type B lymphoma or CD20-expressing). A complete remission must be obtained in patients with aggressive lymphoma and the association of chemotherapy and rituximab, in B-cell subtype, is the standard therapeutic approach.
