Clinical Application of Polyethylene Glycol Liposome Doxorubicin (PLD) in Primary Lymphoma

Anthracyclines were basic drugs in lymphoma treatment. However, their dose accumulation related cardiac toxicity limits their clinical application, especially adriamycin. Adriamycin has been gradually replaced by epirubicin. Polyethylene glycol liposome doxorubicin (PLD) can go into tumor tissues through tumor angiogenesis and produces targeted killing effect to tumor tissues. PLD has potential advantages in the treatment of malignant tumors,including lymphoma.
