OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy of rituximab combined with CHOP-like regimen with or without IFN in patients newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell Non-Hodgkin＇s lymphoma （DLBCL）.METHODS From January 2003 to July ...OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy of rituximab combined with CHOP-like regimen with or without IFN in patients newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell Non-Hodgkin＇s lymphoma （DLBCL）.METHODS From January 2003 to July 2008, 51 patients received CHOP-like chemotherapy （cyclophosphamide 750 mg/m2, epirubicin 80 mg/m2, vindesine 2.8 mg/m2 on day 1, and prednisolone 100 mg/day on day 1 to day 5）. Thirty-one patients received CHOPR-like treatment （rituximab 375 mg/m2 1 day before CHOP-like chemotherapy）. Twenty patients received CHOP-like regimen in combination with peginterferon （pegIFN） （1μg/kg on day 5） and rituximab （on day 6）.RESULTS -The CR （complete remission） rate in the CHOPR-like （with or without pegIFN） group and in the CHOP-like group was 78.4% and 45.1% （P = 0.005）, respectively. The estimated mean time of overall survival （OS） in the CHOPR-like group and CHOP- like group was 58.7 ± 2.8 and 36.4 ±3.4 months, respectively （P = 0.002）. The rates of CR and OR （overall remission） in CHOPR- like with IFN arm were 85.0% and 95.0%, and the rates of those in CHOPR-like without IFN arm were 74.2% and 87.0% （P 〉 0.05）. The estimated mean time of 4-year-PFS （progression- free survival） in CHOPR-like with IFN arm and in CHOPR-like without IFN arm was 62.9 ±3.0 months and 51.0 ± 4.6 months （P = 0.092）, respectively. In the CHOPR-like with IFN arm, no patient relapsed after achieving CR, while the estimated rate of 4-year- DFS （disease-free survival） in the patients who reached CR in the CHOPR-like without IFN arm was （63.4 ± 19.3）% （P = 0.061）. CONCLUSION Rituximab combined with CHOP-like chemotherapy improved the prognosis of DLBCL patients. The IFN may help to improve the quality and duration of response of DLBCL patients treated with rituximab and CHOP-like regimen.展开更多
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical effect of the R-CHOP regimen (rituximab in combination with cyclophosphamide, epirubicin, vincristine and prednisone) in treating refractory or relapsed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma...OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical effect of the R-CHOP regimen (rituximab in combination with cyclophosphamide, epirubicin, vincristine and prednisone) in treating refractory or relapsed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), as a salvage therapy for DLBCL. METHODS Eighteen patients with refractory or relapsed DLBCL who were treated with the R-CHOP regimen from 2001 to 2006 in hospitals in Jilin Province were analyzed retrospectively. The response rate, change of serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), time to progression (TTP) and toxicity were observed. RESULTS The R-CHOP regimen can achieve a higher response rate, decrease serum LDH to a larger extent and obtain longer TTP than a con- ventional secondary regimen. The main adverse effects were similar to con- ventional chemotherapy. CONCLUSION The R-CHOP regimen is one of the most effective sec- ondary therapies for DLBCL.展开更多
