CR, complete remission; VAD, vincristine, Adriamycin, dexamethasone; CVAD, cyclophosphamide, VAD; hyper-CVAD, hyper-fractionated cyclophosphamide, vincristine, Adriamycin, dexamethasone.
P values represent significance levels of comparison of VAD/CVAD vs hyper-CVAD with CD20 subsets.
P values in final column represent significance levels of comparison of CD20 negative versus CD positive with each subset.
