Validation of the revised international prognostic scoring system (IPSS-R) in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome: a multicenter study.
2013
The revised IPSS (IPSS-R) was developed aiming at a better prognostication, taking into account patients treated with best supportive care. We herein validated this model on the basis of data from 1314 patients who received BSC only as well as patients who underwent induction chemotherapy (n=214) or allogeneic transplantation (n=167). We could demonstrate a clear distinction of the IPSS-R risk categories with regard to survival and risk of AML evolution in all patient cohorts. When comparing IPSS-R, IPSS, WHO prognostic scoring system (WPSS) and Duesseldorf score, the best results regarding the ability to predict survival were obtained by the IPSS-R.
CHOP Improves Response Rates but Not Overall Survival in Follicular and Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL)- Results of a Randomized Trial of the German Low G…
2004
Abstract In advanced stage follicular lymphoma conventional chemotherapy is non-curative and no major improvement in overall survival has been achieved by different regimens. Similarly, MCL, a lymphoma subtype with an especially poor clinical outcome, cannot be cured by conventional chemotherapy. In 1996, the German Low Grade Lymphoma Study Group (GLSG) started a randomized trial to evaluate the efficacy of two different anthracycline/anthrachinon containing regimens comparing CHOP (cyclophosphamide 750 mg/m2 day 1, vincristine 1.4 mg/m2 day 2, adriamycine 50 mg/m2 day 1, prednisone 100 mg/m2 days 1–5) and MCP (mitoxantrone 8 mg/m2 days 1–2, chlorambucil 3x3 mg/m2 days 1–5; prednisone 25 mg…
