PET Negative
PET Positive
R-CHOP (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisone) or an equivalent anthracycline-containing regimen for 3 cycles, followed by PET scan. Participants with a negative PET scan will complete their chemotherapy regimen as prescribed by their oncologist.
R-CHOP (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisone) or an equivalent anthracycline-containing regimen for 3 cycles, followed by PET scan. Participants with a positive PET scan will receive two cycles of R-ICE (rituximab, ifosfamide, carboplatin, etoposide) followed by HiCy (high-dose cyclophosphamide).
