Dose‐adjusted EPOCH‐R is not superior to sequential R‐CHOP/R‐ICE as a frontline treatment for newly diagnosed primary mediastinal B‐cell lymphoma: Results of a bi‐center retrospective study

Abstract

DA-EPOCH-R and R-CHOP/R-ICE provide similarly encouraging outcomes in newly-diagnosed PMBCL patients. R-CHOP/R-ICE is associated with lower toxicity and significantly reduced hospitalization. Our findings suggest that this regimen may be considered as an alternative to DA-EPOCH-R in this patient population.
