Long-term follow-up of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma patients treated with ProMACE-CytaBOM: an effective regimen for the intermediate grade subtype

Haematologica. 1998 Sep;83(9):853-4.

Abstract

Long-lasting results achieved in 54 patients with aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma treated with Pro-MACE-CytaBOM regimen were evaluated. Twenty-four out of 54 (45%) patients achieved a complete remission and 13 of them are still in continuous remission with a median survival of 53.5 months. Interestingly, in 16 patients with intermediate grade histology we obtained an overall response rate of 100%.
