Diffuse Large B-cell Multicentric Lymphoma
Most common type (50-60% of cases) +++
Median remission periods will be longer with CHOP (9-10 months) than
with COP induction protocols (4-5 months)
COP
CHOP
Remission rate 80-95%
First remission median duration 7-10m
median survival percentage 30-50%
More intense protocols?
Adding CCNU & MOPP:
PFI 298 vs 317d
35% survival @ 2y
Longer remission for patients with dose delays

Must is…..
To have a defined diagnosis and have spent the less possible in
diagnostics and staging
If we have a multicentric low grade lymphoma
No treatment or oral chlorambucil and prednisolone
If we have a multicentric high grade lymphoma
Multiagent protocols = longer remissions (consider the cheapest option)
Single agent protocols = effective though shorter remissions
RESCUE PROTOCOLS
Rescue protocols re-induce remission in
patients that have relapsed after receiving an
induction protocol
Suggested reasons:
MDR clone
DIMINISHED/INCREASED/ALTERED
DECREASED ABSORBTION
TARGET ENZYMES LEVELS
INCREASED EXCRETION
DECREASED APOPTOTIC
MECHANISMS
LUCKY
B- cell lymphoma stage IV sub-stage A
Once the patient achieves CR, each drug should be able to maintain the remission for 3-4
weeks. When the patient relapses, drugs used within 3-4 weeks are no longer effective.
Insure that all drugs in the initial protocol are no longer effective and then move on to rescue.
If the time interval between the last treatment and relapse was greater than 4 weeks,
re-induction with the same drugs used initially should be attempted first. If the re-induction
is successful, the protocol should be continued. If the re-induction fails, rescue protocols
should be started.

TO RE-CHOP OR NOT TO RE-CHOP?
Dogs that experiences relapsed AFTER HAVING
COMPLETED a CHOP protocol, can achieve a new
remission with a similar protocol
