The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of Rituximab combined with ESHAP (etoposide, methylprednisolone, cytarabine, and cisplatin) in the patients with diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL).
The salvage therapy in the patients with DLBCL is still controversial. The investigators conducted this study to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of Rituximab combined with ESHAP in the patients with DLBCL. The patients enrolled were defined to be relapsed or refractory after the first-line chemotherapy like CHOP or other CHOP-like regimens.
