Time frame
The participants were followed for duration of complete response or complete response unconfirmed for a median of 15.4 years.

What was measured

Complete response (CR) was assessed by the Cheson response criteria. Complete response is disappearance of all signs and symptoms of lymphoma for a period of at least one month. All lymph nodes and nodal masses must have regressed to normal size (1.5 cm in their greatest transverse diameter for nodes \> 1.5 cm before therapy). Complete response unconfirmed (CRu) is when a residual lymph node mass \> 1.5 cm in greatest transverse diameter that has regressed by \> 75% in sum of the products of the greatest diameters, does not change over the last two treatments, and any biopsies obtained are negative will be considered to be in CR. In organs involved by disease, any residual lesions that have decreased by \> 75% in sum of the products of the greatest diameters or are \< 1 cm, are consistent with scar, and stable over the last two treatments will be considered to fulfill criteria for CR.

Analysis population: One participant declined to participate before treatment started.

Groups in this outcome

Arm 1-Combination Chemo and Biological Therapy

Combination chemo and biological therapy Rituximab: 2 doses of rituximab every cycle: first dose on Day 1 and 2nd dose on Day 5 Filgrastim: Filgrastim day 6 until absolute neutrophil count (ANC) reaches 5000 after the nadir, every cycle Etoposide, prednisone, vincristine, cyclophosphamide and doxorubicin hydrochloride (EPOCH): combination chemotherapy: EPOCH every 3 weeks for minimum of 3 cycles and max of 6 cycles
