Comparison of efficacy and toxicity of FC and FCR regimens in primary B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia: a retrospective study

https://doi.org/10.17650/1818-8346-2008-0-1-2-39-46

Abstract

Preclinical studies showed synergic anti-tumor activity of Rituximab and Fludarabin. Comparison of efficacy of FC with FCR regimens administered in first line therapy and their influence on disease-free and overall survival in patients with B-cell lymphocytic leukemia were the main goals of this retrospective study. It has been demonstrated that inclusion of Rituximab into the FC regimen improves outcome of patients with B-cell lymphocytic leukemia without significant increase of toxicity.
