Abstrakt: Background and Aims: The effect of stopping or reducing the dose of vincristine in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) on the outcome and prognosis of the disease is still in doubt. The present study aimed to investigate and compare the prognosis and complete remission of two R-CHOP treatment regimens with and without vincristine reduction in DLBCL patients.
Methods: This retrospective study was conducted on newly diagnosed DLBCL patients during 2018-2021. The patients were over 18 years of age, had been histologically confirmed by a pathologist, and were under treatment with R-CHOP regimen. The clinical information of the subjects as well as the number of treatment courses were extracted from their medical records and then compared.
Results: Overall, 269 patients with DLBCL were included in this study, 15.99% of whom ( n  = 43) had vincristine reduction. There was no significant difference between the studied factors regarding the reduction of vincristine and the complete R-CHOP regimen ( p  > 0.05). Besides, no difference was observed in the 1-year overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) of the patients in the two groups treated with R-CHOP regimen with and without vincristine reduction ( p  > 0.05). The complete remission rates of the patients treated with R-CHOP regimen with and without vincristine ( p  > 0.05) were not different either. The results of the Cox multivariate regression showed that reducing the dose of vincristine from the R-CHOP treatment regimen had no relationship with the 1-year OS and PFS of the DLBCL patients (hazard ratio [HR] OS  = 1.59, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 3.67-0.690, HR PFS  = 1.67, 95% CI: 0.798-3.82).
Conclusion: The results of this study showed that the reduction of vincristine from the R-CHOP regimen in the DLBCL patients was not likely to make a difference in the 1-year OS and PFS of the patients. However, further studies are needed on the issue.
