Hi My relative has Angio Immunoblastic T-Cell Lymphoma which has relapsed. Initially 6 chemos were given & last one was given in Sept 1st week. In Nov 1st week the condition relapsed. He is 66 year old and general condition as of now is stable. Please advise on further treatment.
Hi. Treatment for relapsed Angioimmunoblastic lymphoma is difficult and depends upon the stage of disease, general health of patient and the chemotherapy protocol which had initially been given to the patient. Since patient is in good health, treatment options include:1. Steroids alone2. CVP or CHOP chemotherapy 3. Interferon alpha-2a alone or in combination with chemotherapy 4. COPPOLA chemotherapy 5. MVP -16 Chemotherapy 6. High dose therapy and stem cell transplant.7. Radiotherapy for limited disease. Any of the above treatments is an option depending on what your friend has already received, patients general health and performance status. You can discuss it with the treating oncologist. I hope this answers your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to answer. Thank you for choosing Chat Doctor.
