ABSTRACT
Purpose:To evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of combination of MabThera and CEOP regimen in the treatment of aggressive B-cell lymphoma. Methods:21 patients diagnosed as aggressive B-cell lymphoma with median age of 48 years old (from 15 to 68 years old),received the treatment of MabThera plus CEOP regimen. This treatment consisted of MabThera 375 mg/m2 intravenously infusion on day 1,cyclophosphamide 750 mg/m 2 ,epirubicin 60 mg/m 2 ,vincristine 2 mg on day3 ,prednisone 40 mg/m 2 orally taken on day 3~7. Results:In all 21 patients,16 (76.2%) complete response and 3 (14.2%) partial response were observed. Thus,the overall response rate was 90.5%. Moreover,of the remaining patients,1(4.8%) achieved stable disease and 1(4.8%) had progressive disease. In the 19 responsive patients,the follow-up duration were from 2 to 15 months. One case of thyroid lymphoma experienced recurrence after 14 months with complete response. Until now,the other responses have been maintained. Only one dose of MabThera infusion related-toxicity was observed in all who received 87 cycles. The hematological toxicities were mainly leucopenia and neutropenia. 5( 23.8% ) experienced 3-4 grade neutropenia. Only 1 patient developed neutropenia fever. The other non-hematological toxicities were 1-2 grade except grade 3 alopecia. Conclusions:The combination of MabThera and CEOP regimen had high efficacy with mild toxicity in the treatment of aggressive B-cell lymphoma,hopefully may become the standard treatment.
