Different patients respond differently to treatment and there are individual differences. During treatment, the doctor will arrange for the patient to have tests that will help the doctor make a judgment about the effectiveness of the treatment and adjust the treatment plan based on the results. During a patient’s treatment, the doctor will use the following medical terminology: Remission All active symptoms of lymphoma are in remission, and patients who achieve remission can survive for a long time. There are two types of remission: complete remission: the presence of a lymphoma lesion is not detected and lasts for more than one month; partial remission: the lesion shrinks by more than 50% and lasts for more than one month; stable disease: the symptoms of lymphoma have been controlled by treatment and no new lesions have developed for more than one month. Progressive: The disease becomes severe as the diameter of the lesion increases or new lesions appear. Relapse: After 6 months of disease remission or obtaining disease-free survival, lymphoma-related signs and symptoms appear again. For DLBCL, if a complete remission is obtained after treatment, with no signs and symptoms of disease for 3-5 years, in medical professional terms, this means that a cure is obtained! The goal of DLBCL treatment is to be cured or to obtain remission.
