无论 (wúlùn) means no "no matter", and is generally used in the first part of the sentence. As with many other constructions, 都 and 也 can be used in the second part of the sentence to emphasize the action or decision will not change. It is more formal than 不管.
For example:
- 无论 怎么样，他 都 会 放弃，别 高估 他。
- 无论 多么 成功，他 总 觉得 自己 不够 好。
- 无论 你 到 哪儿 我 都 会 跟着 你。
- 无论 你 说 还是 不 说，结果 都 一样。
As we can see from the example sentences, 无论 is often used with 是 X 还是 Y, "Verb 不 Verb" and interrogative pronouns like 多少 and 什么.
无论如何 is a useful set phrase, meaning "no matter what".
