Summary

This study tested a new way of giving chemotherapy called dose-adjusted EPOCH-R in children with certain B-cell cancers (DLBCL, PMBCL, or PTLD). The goal was to see if it is safe and could improve cure rates while reducing side effects, as it has in adults. Only 4 children took part, and the study focused on safety and how the body processes the drugs.
