Treating newly diagnosed Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma in the elderly patient with R-mini-CHOP: A single centre analytical retrospective observational study.

The ORR for our patients treated with R-mini- CHOP was lower than other cohorts. We hypothesise that Rmini- CHOP alone may not offer adequate lymphoma control in our sample, especially for treatment of advanced stage DLBCL. Age alone is not an objective assessment of suitability for treatment; therefore, we suggest the use of geriatric prognostication tools to better ascertain patient groups who would benefit from full dose R-CHOP chemotherapy to improve response and survival.
