Patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) are still characterized by poor outcomes. However, novel therapies have emerged and shown to significantly improve outcomes of these patients. This webcast will review the role of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, new data and novel therapeutic approaches for the management of R/R DLBCL.
