Excessive Exposure

The patient presents with stage IV diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) with a right ventricular mass and a malignant pericardial effusion with pericardial implants based on positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT).1 He does not appear to have bulky disease (>7.5  cm). His International Prognostic Index score puts him in a high-risk cohort. The patient is in remission after 6 cycles of R-CHOP (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone). Consolidation radiation therapy (RT) is not routinely used in advanced DLBCL but may play a ro le in select patients.
