Treatment of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of the liver with yttrium-90 microsphere embolization
Timothy S Fenske, Heather Benjamin, Steven H Kroft, Eric J Hohenwalter and William S Rilling
The treatment options for patients with chemoresistant diffuse large B-cell lymphoma are limited. Fenske et al. describe the case of a 41-year-old man with chemorefractory lymphoma, who was treated with yttrium-90 microsphere embolization of his hepatic tumors. The patient's lymphoma progressed and he died, but there was no evidence of recurrence in the liver. The authors discuss yttrium-90 microsphere embolization for patients who have chemoresistant lymphoma with involvement of the liver.

Advance Online Publication
We believe that rapid online publication is a valuable service to readers and we now include an Advance Online Publication (AOP) table of contents on our website. AOP articles are uploaded each week and are listed in order of publication date (beginning with the most recent). Each article carries a digital object identifier (doi), which is a unique electronic identification tag for that article. As soon as the monthly issue is printed, articles are removed from the AOP table of contents, assigned a page number and transferred to that issue's table of contents on the website. We encourage you to visit the AOP table of contents.
