CHOP (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine and prednisone)-like chemotherapy, in combination with rituximab (R-CHOP-like), improves outcome in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). We aimed to investigate the impact of rituximab on central nervous system (CNS) disease in adult patients. We studied 315 patients (aged 18-60 years old) from six hospitals between July 2003 and May 2008. All patients received CHOP-like (n=165) or R-CHOP-like (n=150) regimen every 3 weeks. With a median follow-up of 3.69 years, 10 patients (3.17%) developed CNS disease. The cumulative risk of CNS occurrence was not significantly different between the two treatment groups (P=0.871). We conclude that the addition of rituximab did not reduce the risk of CNS disease in adult patients with DLBCL.
环磷酰胺、阿霉素、长春新碱和泼尼松(CHOP)样化疗联合利妥昔单抗(R-CHOP样)可改善弥漫性大B细胞淋巴瘤(DLBCL)患者的预后。我们旨在研究利妥昔单抗对成年患者中枢神经系统(CNS)疾病的影响。我们研究了2003年7月至2008年5月期间来自六家医院的315例患者(年龄在18至60岁之间)。所有患者每3周接受CHOP样(n = 165)或R-CHOP样(n = 150)方案治疗。中位随访3.69年,10例患者(3.17%)发生CNS疾病。两个治疗组之间CNS发生的累积风险无显著差异(P = 0.871)。我们得出结论,在成年DLBCL患者中添加利妥昔单抗并不能降低CNS疾病的风险。
