ASSESSMENT THE EFFECTIVENESS OF RITUXIMAB REGIMENS IN THE FIRST LINE TREATMENT OF FOLLICULAR LYMPHOMA AT K HOSPITAL
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of a rituximab regimens in the first line treatment of follicular lymphoma at K hospital. Subjects and methods: A prospective descriptive study conducted on 24 follicular lymphoma patients treated with rituximab regimens from May 2019 to October 2021. Results: The average age of the patients was 59.71, the sex ratio male/female was 2.0, almost patients were hospitalized because of lymphadenopathy 70.7%; almost patient have stage 3 accounted for 62%; The overall response rate of RB group was 100%. The overall response rate of RCHOP/RCVP group was 87.4%. The toxicity rate of RCHOP/RCVP group was 75% while the toxicity rate of the RB group was 25%. Conclusion: The RB regimen has a higher response rate and safety than the RCHOP/RCVP regimen in the first line treatment of follicular lymphoma.
