Abstract: Diffuse large Bcell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a heterogeneous lymphoid malignancy and the most commonly occurring subtype of nonHodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), with increasing incidence, which is great harmful to human health. More than 60% of DLBLC patients can be cured with standard RCHOP regimens, however, approximately 30% of patients will develop relapsed/refractory disease that remains a major cause of mortality. With recent advances in gene expression profiling, the indepth study of the molecular basis of chemotherapy resistance, optimization of salvage chemotherapy regimen, intervention of novel drugs and using chimeric antigen receptor Tcell therapy, and so on, these therapies might provide hope for individual accurate treatment of relapsed/refractory DLBCL. In this review, we focus on the progress of novel drugs and CART therapy in relapsed/refractory DLBCL.
