Important clinical research questions in primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma (PMBL).

  • Can third-generation chemotherapy regimens be shown prospectively to be superior in the era of rituximab?

  • What is the role of PET scanning in determining cure following chemotherapy?

  • Can consolidative radiotherapy be omitted in selected individuals?

  • Can improved understanding of the biology of PMBL lead to rationally targeted novel therapies to improve outcomes for patients with refractory or relapsed disease?
