Proof that target therapy has come in to change things in cancers!

1.Combining Ibrutinib with R-CHOP is not only feasible but yield 100% response in Diffuse Large cell Lymphoma.

For decades, CHOP had remained King of treatment of diffuse large cell lymphoma
Elaborate combinations of chemotherapy drugs failed to improve on CHOP, until the targeting of CD20 by Rituxan.  And now with the arrival of the almighty powerful Ibrutinib, response rates seem to be overwhelming although not all seems to be complete Responses, at least not yet since analysis of data is still ongoing!
