2. Newly diagnosed patients with a confirmed pathologic diagnosis of large B cell-non-Hodgkin?s lymphoma (DLBCL) with untreated CD20+. Defined by the local Haematopathologist at the local laboratory according to WHO criteria
3. Stage II-III or IV or stage I with bulk defined by the referring physician on the basis of the Cotswolds modification of the Ann Arbor classification 2
4. Age-adjusted International Prognostic Index (IPI) score 0 or 1
5. Age =18 to =65 years of age
6. Performance status (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group [ECOG]) of =2
7. Written informed consent obtained before starting any study-specific procedure
8. Females of child-bearing potential must test negative on standard serum pregnancy test and must be willing to practice appropriate contraceptive methods for the duration of the study (e.g. oral contraceptive, double barrier method, intra-uterine device, intra-muscular contraceptive)
9. All male patients must take adequate contraceptive precautions during the course of the study
1. Life expectancy of less than three months
2. Any other lymphoma other than CD20+ DLBCL
