Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Recent reports suggest genetic polymorphisms influence susceptibility to rituximab-induced late-onset neutropenia (LON), which in turn may be a predictor of good outcome in B-cell lymphoma. AIMS: We report the largest study to date assessing FCGR3A-V158F polymorphisms in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) treated with cyclophosphamide/hydroxydaunorubicin/Oncovin (vincristine)/prednisone/rituximab...
