  1. From December 1997 through May 2013, 264 patients with DLBCL were treated with R-CHOP/R-CHOP-like or R-DA-EPOCH at RPCCC. These patients were identified through analysis of the RPCCC lymphoma database. Their demographic, clinical, and pathological data were compared. The following variables were measured and compared: mean age, sex, DLBCL subtype, stage at diagnosis, IPI risk category, treatment type, and whether or not they received radiation
