The prognosis of relapsed or refractory B-cell lymphoma is poor, with a short-term survival after conventional second-line chemotherapy. Rituximab, a chimeric anti-CD20 antigen, in combination with CHOP or CHOP-like chemotherapy may improve both disease-freely survival and overall survival of naive patients, but it's role in the second-line treatment for relapsed non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) is uncertain. This study was to evaluate the efficacy of rituximab-containing salvage regimens on relapsed or refractory NHL, and observe the toxicities.
