The treatment of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma with chemotherapy was retrospectively evaluated in 348 patients who had received at least three cycles of CHOP (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone)-like, ACVBP (doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, vindesine, bleomycin, and prednisone)-like or CHVmP-BV (cyclophosphamide, hydroxorubicin, Vm-26, prednisone, vincristine and bleomycin) treatment in Belgium between 1995 and 2000. In our sample, the proportion who received each of the three regimens was 78.4, 16.4, and 5.2%, respectively. Of those prescribed CHOP-like regimens, 15% received <80% average relative dose intensity (ARDI). In 210 patients treated with CHOP-21 (77% of the CHOP-like group), median survival was 7.08 years in those who received >90% of the ARDI, significantly longer than in those who received < or = 90% of the ARDI (p = 0.002). Dose reductions and/or delays, mainly due to hematological toxicities, resulted in a reduction in treatment intensity. These data indicate that patient outcome is improved when the intensity of chemotherapy treatment is optimal.
