Core Tip |
Few Clinicians are comfortable managing a patient with extensive cardiac involvement by lymphoma, due to the limited clinical experience and paucity of data on such cases. Despite the heterogeneity in management, early diagnosis and treatment may lead to remission. Decisions on management should be individualized due to the variability in the pattern and magnitude of cardiac disease. In cases with extensive involvement, reducing the chemotherapy dose with dose escalation to therapeutic levels may be safe and effective management approach. Improvements in imaging technology will likely increase the rate of pre-mortem detection of cardiac lymphoma leading to better understanding of this highly fatal condition and improved patient survival. |
