The role of rituximab in combination with CHOP regimen in patients with stage I diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) remains to be defined. We aimed to compare CHOP plus rituximab (R-CHOP) with CHOP alone and determine the value of radiotherapy in these patients.
Between 2003 and 2009, 140 untreated patients with stage I DLBCL were retrospectively analyzed in this study.
Seventy-eight patients were treated in R-CHOP group and 62 in CHOP group. Ninety-one patients received additional radiotherapy at the end of chemotherapy. The different treatment groups were well-balanced with respect to baseline characteristics. Complete response (CR) rate was 77% both in R-CHOP and CHOP groups (P=0.945). After a median follow-up period of 56 months, patients received R-CHOP regimen had similar 5-year progression-free survival (PFS) (76% vs. 85%; log-rank P=0.215) and 5-year overall survival (OS) (90% vs. 96%; log-rank P=0.175) compared with those with CHOP alone. Patients with radiotherapy had significantly increased 5-year PFS compared with those who had chemotherapy alone (86% vs. 71%; log-rank P=0.005). At multivariate analysis, patients who had CR (P=0.008) and received radiotherapy (P=0.003) were significantly associated with superior PFS.
CHOP alone could be as effective as R-CHOP regimen and additional radiotherapy would be necessary for stage I or stage I non-bulky DLBCL patients.
利妥昔单抗联合CHOP方案在Ⅰ期弥漫性大B细胞淋巴瘤(DLBCL)患者中的作用尚待明确。我们旨在比较CHOP加利妥昔单抗(R-CHOP)与单纯CHOP方案,并确定放疗在这些患者中的价值。
本研究对2003年至2009年间140例未经治疗的Ⅰ期DLBCL患者进行了回顾性分析。
R-CHOP组治疗78例患者,CHOP组治疗62例患者。91例患者在化疗结束时接受了额外放疗。不同治疗组在基线特征方面均衡良好。R-CHOP组和CHOP组的完全缓解(CR)率均为77%(P=0.945)。中位随访56个月后,接受R-CHOP方案的患者与单纯接受CHOP方案的患者相比,5年无进展生存期(PFS)相似(76%对85%;对数秩检验P=0.215),5年总生存期(OS)相似(90%对96%;对数秩检验P=0.175)。接受放疗的患者与单纯接受化疗的患者相比,5年PFS显著提高(86%对71%;对数秩检验P=0.005)。多因素分析显示,达到CR(P=0.008)和接受放疗(P=0.003)的患者与更好的PFS显著相关。
单纯CHOP方案与R-CHOP方案疗效相当,Ⅰ期或Ⅰ期非大包块型DLBCL患者需要额外放疗。
