Dose-adjusted EPOCH-R is not superior to sequential R-CHOP/R-ICE as a frontline treatment for newly diagnosed primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma: Results of a bi-center retrospective study.

DA-EPOCH-R and R-CHOP/R-ICE provide similarly encouraging outcomes in newly-diagnosed PMBCL patients. R-CHOP/R-ICE is associated with lower toxicity and significantly reduced hospitalization. Our findings suggest that this regimen may be considered as an alternative to DA-EPOCH-R in this patient population.
