  • Title: Adapted CHOP plus rituximab in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in patients over 80 years old.
    Author: Italiano A, Jardin F, Peyrade F, Saudes L, Tilly H, Thyss A.
    Journal: Haematologica; 2005 Sep; 90(9):1281-3. PubMed ID: 16154857.
    Abstract:
    Treatment of very old patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma remains controversial. Indeed, patients over 80 years old are usually not included in trials. We show here that addition of rituximab to reduced-dose CHOP chemotherapy seems to be a good compromise between toxicity and efficacy, allowing clinicians to treat very elderly patients with a curative intent.
