Adult patients with diagnosis Diffuse large B cell lymphoma with stage I-II disease (staged at the baseline with PET –CT/ CECT of the chest, abdomen and pelvis) and achieving a good response by PET-CT imaging after first-line chemotherapy
Good response is defined as residual masses =2 cm AND Deauville score of =2 on the end therapy scan performed at least 3 weeks after last cycle of chemotherapy
Included patients must have received at least 4 cycles (for non-bulky <7 cm disease) or 6 cycles of RCHOP chemotherapy (for bulky disease =7 cm largest diameter) as FRONT LINE therapy
1.Age =18 years
2.Adequate data available regarding baseline diagnosis (including histopathology with IHC) as well as details of chemotherapy delivered and dose compromises if any and reasons for the same.
3.Performance status of 0-2 at the time of randomisation
4.Recovered from toxicity of chemotherapy, especially hematological toxicity
5.Willing to provide informed consent for the trial.
6.Women in the reproductive age group must agree to be on effective contraception during the period of radiation.
1. >8 weeks delay from the last cycle of chemotherapy to the randomization
2.HIV/HBsAg/HCV positivity
3.Primary mediastinal B cell lymphoma, Primary CNS lymphoma.
4.Uncontrolled medical illnesses which could compromise the delivery of radiation therapy.
5.Pregnant females will be excluded.
6.History of malignancy treated within the last 5 years.
