Robyn was diagnosed with Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma. Four years after going through R-CHOP chemotherapy, she relapsed and went through more chemotherapy, a stem cell transplant, and radiation. She relapsed a second time only 9 months after therapy. This time, she joined a clinical trial for CAR T-cell therapy.

In this conversation, Robyn, a three-time DLBCL survivor, and two top lymphoma specialists, Dr. Tycel Phillips from the City of Hope and Dr. Joshua Brody from Mount Sinai, discuss the latest research and treatment options n the most common subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma: diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).

Thank you to Genmab and AbbVie for their support of our patient education program.
