Rituximab destroys both normal and malignant [[B cells]] that have CD20 on their surfaces, and is therefore used to treat diseases which are characterized by having too many B cells, overactive B cells or dysfunctional B cells. ===Hematological neoplastic diseases=== Rituximab is frequently used to treat [[Hematological malignancy|hematological neoplasms]] such as [[leukemia]]s and [[lymphoma]]s.
