Notes

CD20+ status is required for any anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody therapy (rituximab, obinutuzumab). Most B-cell lymphomas are CD20+; rare exceptions (some HHV-8+ neoplasms, certain plasmablastic lymphomas) may be CD20- and require alternative regimens. Status can change post-rituximab — re-biopsy on relapse.
