PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: At the beginning of the 2nd line of treatment, an average of 2 years

The IPI is based on the evaluation of 5 clinical factors: age \> 60 years Ann Arbor stage III or IV disease \> 1 extra nodal site European Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG PS) \_ 2, increased serum LDH (lactate dehydrogenase) levels Revised IPI (R-IPI) evaluates the same parameters, but groups them differently to form 3 prognostic groups of patients with significantly different progression-free survival and overall survival outcomes.

Timeframe: After first line treatment

Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions for at least 8 weeks. Partial response (PR): At least a 50% dicrease in the sum of the products of two measurements (the maximum diameter of a tumor and the largest diameter perpendicular to this maximum diameter) of 6 biggest individual tumors. Not increased of measure of other tumors, spleen or liver Stable Disease (SD): Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest sum LD since the treatment started Progressive Disease (PD): At least a 50% increase in the sum of the LD of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions during or at the end of the treatment.
