Hello,
In clinical practice, targeted drugs are primarily used for lymphoma treatment. The choice of medication depends on the specific pathological subtype of lymphoma and other individual factors. For instance, patients with B-cell antigen–positive lymphoma may be treated with anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab.
We hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
