Nowadays due to modern risk-adapted treatment protocols high survival rates have been achieved in patients with aggressive B-cell lymphomas, even at stages III–IV these indicators overrun 90 %. Mainly these successes were associated with the inclusion of rituximab in the standard chemotherapy regimens. As the follow up period of the patients is lengthened, it has become clear that ongoing treatment is associated with the development of immediate and long-term adverse effects of chemoimmunotherapy. In Russia and the world, there are multicenter studies aimed at studying prognostic factors that make it possible to reduce single and/or total doses of chemotherapy drugs, and therefore, to reduce chemotherapy toxicity. The obtained data allow considering the early complete antitumor effect (after 2 courses of therapy) as an advantage factor, so it is possible to reduce program chemoimmunotherapy intensity without reducing high patients survival rates.
