Abstract
The article presents a study comparing bendamustine plus rituximab and cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prenisone (CHOP) plus rituximab in the treatment of patients with indolent and mantle-cell lymphomas. It showed that erythematous skin reactions were mostly observed in patients in the bendamustine plus retuximab group compared to those in the R-CHOP group. Result demonstrate the increased progression-free survival and less toxic effects in bendamustine plus retoximab. INSET: Panel: Research in context.
