The majority of patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) are older than 60 years, yet they are often denied potentially curative high-dose therapy and autologous stem-cell transplantations (ASCT) because of the risk of excessive treatment-related morbidity and mortality. Myeloablative anti-CD20 radioimmunotherapy (RIT) can deliver curative radiation doses to tumor sites while limiting exposure to normal organs and may be particularly suited for older adults requiring high-dose therapy.
