While novel agents designed to target molecular abnormalities involved in lymphoma pathogenesis are most likely to improve current therapeutic results, cytotoxic therapy remains the main stay of therapy. Several new chemotherapy agents, including purine antimetabolites, taxanes, camptothecins, suramin, and protein kinase C inhibitors, are discussed. Other issues important in lymphoma drug development, including the limited patient population available for evaluation of investigational agents, are also considered.
