Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of DA-EPOCH-R protocol for patients with B-cell non-hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Methods 43 patients with B-cell NHL received DA-EPOCH-R protocol, and their efficacy and adverse reactions were analyzed. Results 43 patients received a total of 203 cycles of chemotherapy and the median chemotherapy cycle was 6 (2ˉ8 cycles). 32 patients (74.4%) achieved complete remission (CR) after 2ˉ4 cycles of chemotherapy. A further analysis found that age ≤60 years and>60 years, stageⅠ/Ⅱand stageⅢ/Ⅳ, germinal center B-cell (GCB), non-GCB, double expression lymphoma (DEL) and non-DEL patients had no significant differences (P> 0.05). With a median follow-up of 40 months (9ˉ62 mouths), the overall survival (OS) rate of 1-year and 3-year was 97.6 % and 92.8 % respectively. The major toxicity of DA-EPOCH-R protocol was hematologic toxicity. Other toxicities were mild, and no treatment-related deaths occurred. At the end of follow-up, no secondary tumors were found. Conclusions DA-EPOCH-R protocol is an effective and safe protocol for patients with NHL. The result shows that the curative effect of patients in stageⅢandⅣis similar to the patients in stageⅠandⅡ.
