Christian Gisselbrecht, MD, a Professor of Haematology in the Haemato-Oncology Department of Hôpital Saint-Louis, at Diderot University, Paris, discusses stratifying refractory disease in aggressive diffuse large b-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).

Instead of just assuming a patient is refractory because they’ve relapsed, Gisselbrecht’s team wanted a more precise definition.
