TLDR
Predictive value of "early PET" was observed in both the lower-risk and higher-risk groups, indicating prognostic independence from the IPI, and FDG-PET should be an early guide to first-line strategies in aggressive lymphoma.

Revised response criteria for malignant lymphoma

TL;DR: New guidelines incorporating PET, IHC, and flow cytometry for definitions of response in non-Hodgkin's and Hodgkin's lymphoma are presented and it is hoped that they will be adopted widely by study groups, pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, and regulatory agencies to facilitate the development of new and more effective therapies to improve the outcome of patients with lymphoma.
Journal ArticleDOI

The revised International Prognostic Index (R-IPI) is a better predictor of outcome than the standard IPI for patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma treated with R-CHOP.

TL;DR: A retrospective analysis of patients with DLBCL treated with R-CHOP to assess the value of the IPI in the era of immunochemotherapy found it to be a clinically useful prognostic index that may help guide treatment planning and interpretation of clinical trials.

CHOP Chemotherapy plus Rituximab Compared with CHOP Alone in Elderly Patients with Diffuse Large-B-Cell Lymphoma

TL;DR: A randomized trial to compare CHOP chemotherapy plus rituximab with CHOP alone in elderly patients with diffuse large-B-cell lymphoma found the rate of complete response was significantly higher in the group that received CHOP plus r ituximabs than in thegroup that receivedCHOP alone.
