Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is highly heterogeneous and is diagnosed according to the 2016 World Health Organization Classification of Tumours of Haematopoietic and Lymphoid Tissues. The decision of treatment should be upon age, International Prognostic Index score and the tolerability of chemotherapy. High-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation is the standard care for relapsed, chemotherapy sensitive patients. Clinical trials are recommended in specific conditions.
