  • Tumors express CD20 as determined by immunohistochemistry.
  • o Ki-67 evaluation of tumor tissue
  • Patients must have stage III, or IV disease. Patients with IIX, disease must have at least one other age-adjusted IPI risk factor.

  • Patients or their guardians must be capable of providing informed consent.
  • Patients must be suitable to undergo stem cell transplant.

Exclusion

  • Any lymphoma subtype other than DLBCL, PMLBL, follicular lymphoma grade 3B
  • Patients with either parenchymal brain or lepto-meningeal involvement.
  • No more than 14 days of prednisone therapy between the diagnostic biopsy of either DLBCL, PMLBL, or follicular lymphoma grade 3B and the initiation of treatment on study.
  • Known pregnancy or breast-feeding
  • Medical illness unrelated to NHL which in the opinion of the attending physician and principal investigator will preclude administration of chemotherapy safely. This includes patients with uncontrolled infection, chronic renal insufficiency, myocardial infarction within the past 6 months, unstable angina, cardiac arrhythmias other than chronic atrial fibrillation and chronic active or persistent hepatitis, or New York Heart Association Classification III or IV heart disease.
