Diffuse

Is diffuse large B cell lymphoma the same thing as large cell lymphoma? 76.225.156.174 (talk) 17:56, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There are many kinds of large cell lymphomas, including some that involve T cells. We should create a page on Large cell lymphomas. WhatamIdoing (talk) 23:54, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Assessment

On further reflection, this is the most common kind of lymphoma and should be a higher priority for improvements. WhatamIdoing (talk) 03:00, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As

As a current survivor of diffuse large B cell lymphoma, I think this is the worst description of the disease that I have seen on the web. I would favor scrapping the current entry altogether and trying to get attention of some qualified people to start over from scratch. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tomt1925 (talk • contribs) 20:40, 19 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
