A Decade of Lymphoma-Associated Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis: Does the Outcome Improve?

To investigate the potential treatment evolution and outcome improvement, we retrospectively compared clinical characteristics, therapeutic strategies, treatment responses, and overall survival (OS) in patients diagnosed and treated with lymphoma-associated HLH between 2004–2012 (<i>n</i>...
