Popis: R-CHOP therapy is generally performed every 3 weeks. We investigated the effects of extending the interval of R-CHOP therapy for > 1 week on the prognoses of patients with non-indolent non-Hodgkin’s B-cell lymphoma. Among the 338 patients with non-indolent non-Hodgkin’s B-cell lymphoma who received initial chemotherapy at our institution, we focused on 178 patients who received R-CHOP therapy and analyzed the outcomes of the patients stratified by the treatment intervals. The estimated 3-year overall survival (OS) for the entire population was 82.1%. Patients treated at intervals of ≥ 4 weeks were significantly older, and they had significantly longer follow-up periods and lower relative dose intensity. But the estimated 3-year OS was comparable to those treated at
