Measure
Rituximab
All patients will receive rituximab 375mg/m2 administered by slow IV infusion weekly for 4 consecutive weeks (days 1, 8, 15, and 22). Patients who have objective response or stable disease at week 12 reevaluation will receive 4 additional doses of rituximab (375 mg/m2) administered in months 3 (week 12), 5, 7, and 9. Rituximab
Rituximab/Bevacizumab
All patients will receive rituximab 375mg/m2 administered by slow IV infusion weekly for 4 consecutive weeks (days 1, 8, 15, and 22). During the 4-week course of rituximab, all patients will receive 2 doses of bevacizumab 10mg/kg IV, given on Days 3 and 15. The first dose will be given on Day 3, following rituximab on Day 1. If both drugs are well tolerated during the first dose, rituximab and bevacizumab should be given on the same day for the Day 15 dose and all subsequent doses. Bevacizumab Rituximab

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 18 months

The Length of Time, in Months, That Patients Were Alive From Their First Date of Protocol Treatment Until Death or Disease Progression from NHL. Progression is defined using International Workshop Response Criteria for Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma as - enlargment of liver/spleen, new sites, new or increased malignancy in lymph nodes, new or increased lymph node masses or reappearance of disease in bone marrow.
