Unmarried people given less intensive treatment for mantle cell lymphoma
Mantle cell lymphoma is a malignant disease in which intensive treatment can prolong life. In a new study, scientists show that people with mantle cell lymphoma who were unmarried, and those who had low educational attainment, were less often treated with a stem-cell transplantation, which may result in poorer survival. The findings have been published in the scientific journal Blood Advances.
