Abstract

Treatment with rituximab plus a regimen of cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine and prednisolone (CHOP) for patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) has proven efficacy in clinical trials. The present study investigated its application in clinical practice. This single‑center, retrospective database analysis included patients with DLBCL treated at the Slovenian Institute of Oncology Ljubljana between 2004 and 2013. Overall survival (OS) and progression‑free survival (PFS) were assessed according to International Prognostic Index (IPI) and revised IPI (R‑IPI) categories. Overall, 573 patients with DLBCL were included in the study (median follow‑up, 45.3 months; range, 0.1‑143.0). Patients were categorized as IPI ‘low’ (n=170; 30%), ‘low‑intermediate’ (n=134; 23%), ‘high‑intermediate’ (n=129; 23%) and ‘high’ (n=140; 24%) risk. R‑IPI groups were indicated with ‘very good’ (n=59; 10%), ‘good’ (n=245; 43%) and ‘poor’ (n=269; 47%) prognosis. Ten‑year OS and PFS rates were 51 and 72%, respectively; median OS was 124 months and median PFS was not reached. Ten‑year OS rates were 80 and 87% in low‑risk and ‘very good’ prognosis groups, respectively, and 30 and 37% in high‑risk and poor prognosis patients, respectively. This analysis of patients with DLBCL indicated that many patients treated with R‑CHOP and R‑CHOP‑like regimens in the real‑world setting have excellent outcomes.
