Hi Keith,
CHOP is the standard chemo. If you have problems with Adriamycin, you can substitute Novantrone.
If CD20 marker is positive, I have seen Rituxan added. That is a BIOLOGIC DRUG, non chemo. I treated the 16th human that ever got that drug about 18 years ago!
This is a rare diagnosis, as you know. I haven’t treated anyone for a few years.
For relapsed disease, the new BIOLIOGIC drug called ADCETRIS or BRENTUXIMAB is used. There may be some clinical trials that add it to first line chemo..

So I am feeling better and better every time I hear from a person in the know. I will keep you all up to date as new stuff arises.
Keith
