Mazyar Shadman, MD, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Seattle, WA, shares the 15-year follow-up results from the SWOG-S0016 study (NCT00006721) comparing the safety and efficacy of R-CHOP with CHOP-RIT (CHOP followed by consolidation with iodine-133-tositumomab radioimmunotherapy) for previously untreated patients with follicular lymphoma (FL). The 15-year overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) for the entire cohort were 70% and 40% respectively. In addition, the rate of progression decreased over time, indicating the possibility of achieving a functional cure in a subset of patients with FL. These results provide a benchmark for studies utilizing novel agents in the frontline setting.
