Ability to understand and willingness to sign a written informed consent document Exclusion Criteria: 1.

Prior or concomitant malignancy in the past 5 years that is currently active and likely to interfere with the patient's treatment for DLBCL or that is likely to increase the patient's morbidity or mortality 5. Concomitant illness associated with a likely survival of \< 1 year 6. Any life-threatening illness, medical condition or organ system dysfunction that, in the investigator's opinion, could compromise the patient's safety, or put the study outcomes at undue risk 7. Prior chemotherapy or radiation therapy (unless related to NHL / DLBCL treatment) within the last 5 years 8. Cytotoxic drug therapy within 21 days prior to enrollment 9.
