Diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma(NHL). NHL is a cancer of the lymphatic system. It develops when the body makes abnormal B lymphocytes. These lymphocytes are a type of white blood cell that normally help to fight infections. DLBCL is usually treated with a number of different chemotherapy drugs, a steroid and a targeted immunotherapy drug called rituximab (Mabthera).
