oPosttransplantation lymphoma (PTLD), discordant or transformed lymphoma are NOT allowed
•Patients in at least stage II with age adjusted IPI score of 2 or 3:
oStage III /IV and elevated LDH
oStage III/IV and WHO performance status 2 - 3
oStage II and elevated LDH and WHO performance status 2 – 3
•And/or patients with site specific risk factors for CNS recurrence defined as follows

oParanasal sinus and orbital lymphoma with destruction of bone
oLarge cell lymphoma infiltration of the bone marrow
•Previously untreated, except steroids allowed
•WHO performance status 0-3
•Written informed consent

Biologically high risk group consists of patients with at least one of the following factor
•Myc translocation (FISH)
•Myc/Bcl2 double hits (FISH)

The biologically low risk group consists of patients without the above listed factors.

Paraffin-embedded tumor tissue must be sent to the central laboratory for determination of biological risk factors

?Impaired bone marrow liver, renal or other organ function not caused by lymphoma, which will interfere with the treatment schedule (Hemoglobin < 9 g/dL, ANC < 1.5 × 109/L, Platelet count < 75 × 109/L, creatinine clearance < 40 mL/min, ALT/AST > 2.5 x ULN, bilirubin >= 1.5 x ULN, INR > 1.5)
