Long-Term Remissions of Patients With Follicular Lymphoma Grade 3 Treated With R-CHOP

The optimal management of patients with follicular lymphoma grade 3 (FLG3) is controversial. We analyzed 45 patients with FLG3 treated with first-line rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP). R-CHOP showed to be an effective first-line treatment for these patients, and provided extended PFS, comparable with outcomes observed in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, particularly in subgroups with limited nodal disease.
