Abstract
Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) is an aggressive but often curable malignancy. Older patients, especially those 80 years and older, have poor outcomes compared to those < 60, likely due to a number of reasons including disease biology, comorbidities, and treatment intolerance. Prospective data informing the treatment of older patients and those with multiple co-morbidities is limited. Here, we intend to review available data for regimens other than standard R-CHOP (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, adriamycin, prednisone) or R-pola-CHP (rituximab, polatuzumab vedotin [pola], cyclophosphamide, adriamycin, prednisone), tools available that may aid in treatment selection, and future directions, including the incorporation of newer treatment modalities into therapy for more vulnerable patients.
