Abstract: | Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common lymphoma entity, and its incidence increases with age. There is a paucity of data regarding use of biweekly R-CHOP (R-CHOP-14) in patients ≥80 years of age. We performed a retrospective cohort study of patients with DLBCL aged ≥80 years treated with R-CHOP-14 and R-miniCHOP in two academic tertiary centers in Germany between 01/01/2005 and 12/30/2019. Overall, 79 patients were included. Median age was 84 years (range 80-91). Despite higher CR rates with R-CHOP-14 (71.4% vs. 52.4%), no statistically significant difference could be found between patients treated with R-CHOP-14 and R-miniCHOP regarding overall survival (OS) (p = .88, HR 0.94, 95% CI = 0.47-1.90) and progression-free survival (PFS) (p = .26, HR 0.66, 95% CI = 0.32-1.36). At a median follow-up of 40 months, the 2-year OS rates were 56% with R-CHOP-14 and 53% with R-miniCHOP. Two-year PFS rates were 46% for R-CHOP-14 and 50% for R-mini-CHOP. Relative dose intensity of chemotherapy did not correlate with OS (p = .72). With the caveat of a retrospective cohort study, we conclude that lacking a difference in OS, R-miniCHOP should be preferred for most patients with untreated DLBCL aged ≥80 years. |
