Original Source: Prognostic implications of extranodal involvement in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma treated with rituximab and cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone.
The addition of rituximab (R) to standard CHOP (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone) chemotherapy has altered the significance of previously recognized prognostic factors. We sought to re-examine the prognostic utility of (1) the number of extranodal sites of disease involvement, and (2) a primary extranodal presentation in patients with DLBCL treated with immunochemotherapy. We retrospectively analyzed all patients with DLBCL diagnosed between January 1979 and May 2006 who were treat...
