*

For details about the treatment regimens we refer to the original papers.

Overall response rate (ORR), complete remission (unconfirmed) + partial response.

Dead before treatment, n = 1.

§

Calculation of median survival is based on data presented in the original paper.

Auto-SCT, n = 3; Allo-SCT, n = 1.

Given for low-grade B-cell lymphoma, NOS.

#

Steroids as palliative therapy.

**

Therapy ongoing, n = 1.

††

Lymphoma-type DH only, n = 23.

‡‡

Twenty-three DH lymphomas and 4 DH leukemias.
