| dc.description.abstract | The prognosis of elderly patients diagnosed with diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is considered to be clearly inferior to that of younger patients. Besides tumor biology and comorbidities, treatment selection due to an assumed reduced tolerability may contribute to this difference. With increasingly more patients diagnosed at advanced age, current treatment selections need to be reviewed carefully. Hence, we analyzed the results of patients above the age of 70 in whom a diagnosis of DLBCL was made. Whereas patients up to 80 were frequently selected for and were able to tolerate standard treatment (86% intended use, 74% completion), patients above the age of 80 years were not only treated more cautiously (67 and 60%, respectively) but did show inferior response to treatment with standard treatment (CR rate for intended R-CHOP use 64% vs. 43%). However, on an individual level, patients receiving and completing standard treatment obtained results that resemble the results of younger patients, irrespective if aged more than 80 and impose superior to prior reports in this age cohort. Median PFS for the entire group of patients was 3.44 years, with 4.83 years for patients below 80 and only 1.09 years for patients above the age of 80. The corresponding figures for OS were 7.38 years (estimated); after 2 years, OS was 81% in the younger cohort in contrast to 68% in patients > 80 years. However, for patients not planned to receive or not tolerating R-CHOP, results remain poor; tailored approaches for these patients are required. | en_GB |
