How Much Tumor Shrinkage Is A Good Result After Rituxan .
A MyLymphomaTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have mantle cell lymphoma and was on watch ànd wait for a year. I just had 4 weeks of Rituxan infusion once a week. I had no negative reactions and there was some tumor shrinkage. Like 4.7 cm to 4.3. Does anyone know if that would be considered a success? If so I can continue on Rituxan for two years. If not, my doctor will add another chemo drug. Thank you for any help. BTW I am stage 4 with tumorous lymph nodes all over but no other organs affected. 74 years old.
