Abstract

The use of anthracyclines in the treatment of patients with diffuse large B cell lymphoma is crucial, however may be sometimes difficult or even contraindicated due to coexisting cardiovascular diseases. An alternative to conventional anthracyclines seems to be liposomal forms that have been registered in the first line of treatment for women with metastatic breast cancer. Data on their use in patients with non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas indicate high efficacy and acceptable toxicity. We present case report of treatment with immunochemotherapy using non-pegylated liposomal doxorubicin in elderly woman with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma coexisting with ischemic heart disease, hypertension, type 2 diabetes. In addition, we present review of literature and the aspects of the use of drugs off-label.
