To describe the use of an anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody, Rituximab, in the treatment of orbital lymphoma.
Prospective, noncomparative, interventional case series of 8 patients treated with rituximab. Management, side effects, and outcome were recorded.
Five patients had initial complete response, 2 had partial response, and 1 had no response to this treatment. One patient had breathlessness, bronchospasm, and hypotension but was able to complete treatment. Mean follow-up was 16.5 months (range, 6 to 32 months).
Rituximab is a safe and effective treatment in some cases of orbital lymphoma and may be used as an alternative to, or in conjunction with, other therapeutic modalities.
描述抗CD20单克隆抗体利妥昔单抗在眼眶淋巴瘤治疗中的应用。
对8例接受利妥昔单抗治疗的患者进行前瞻性、非对照性、干预性病例系列研究。记录治疗管理、副作用及结果。
5例患者初始完全缓解,2例部分缓解,1例对此治疗无反应。1例患者出现呼吸急促、支气管痉挛和低血压,但能够完成治疗。平均随访16.5个月(范围6至32个月)。
利妥昔单抗在某些眼眶淋巴瘤病例中是一种安全有效的治疗方法,可作为其他治疗方式的替代方法或与之联合使用。
