• third-generation CHOP-like regimens (SGR) : initially, each of these centers reported complete-remission rates of 70 to 85% and predicted long-term survival of 55 to 65%, but follow-up was limited and these new treatment programs were more difficult to administer, more toxic, and more costly. Because overall survival and survival without treatment failure in the CHOP group were not significantly different from survival in the three other groups, and because the rate of severe toxic reactions and the cost of the CHOP regimen are lower, CHOP remains the best available treatment for patients with advanced-stage, intermediate-grade or high-grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma^ref.

EPOCH dose-adjustment paradigm :

nadir measurements (measurements of ANC and platelet nadir are based on twice weekly CBC only)	dose-adjustment (dose adjustments above starting dose level (level 1) apply to etoposide, doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide. Dose adjustments below starting dose level (level 1) apply to cyclophosphamide only. )
if nadir ANC at least 0.5 × 109/L	20% increase in etoposide, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide above last cycle
if nadir ANC less than 0.5 × 109/L on 1 or 2 measurements	same dose(s) as last cycle
if nadir ANC less than 0.5 × 109/L on at least 3 measurements	20% decrease in etoposide, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide below last cycle
if nadir platelet count < 25 × 109/L on 1 measurement	20% decrease in etoposide, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide below last cycle

All patients received G-CSF beginning on day 6 and continued until the ANC was more than 5 × 10⁹/L above the nadir level. To prevent Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia, patients received sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim twice daily for 3 days per week. Cycles were begun every 21 days, providing that the ANC was at least 1 × 109/L and the platelet count was at least 100 × 10⁹/L. If the values were below these levels, counts were checked daily until recovery and G-CSF was administered as indicated. Dose adjustments are a fundamental component of the EPOCH regimen. Adjustments above the starting-dose level always applied to etoposide, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide; and adjustments below the starting-dose level applied only to cyclophosphamide. All drug doses were based on true body weight. The adjustment paradigm was based on the ANC nadir in the previous cycle and was designed to achieve a shallow period of neutropenia. If a platelet nadir value below 25 × 10⁹/L was observed, doses were reduced only 20%, regardless of the ANC nadir. The adjustment paradigm was based specifically on twice-weekly complete blood counts obtained 3 days apart, such as Monday and Thursday or Tuesday and Friday, and was not intended to identify every neutropenic event. For example, if the lowest ANC was 0.5 × 10⁹/L, doses were escalated irrespective of whether the physician thought the patient had a lower nadir on a day on which an ANC was not done. Deviations from the adjustment paradigm were made only rarely in the event of a critical illness during the previous cycle and not for uncomplicated infections. Vincristine was administered at a fixed dose of 1.6 mg/m² of body-surface area (0.4 mg/m² per day), and the dose was never capped. The vincristine dose was reduced 25% if grade 2 motor neuropathy developed, 50% for grade 3 motor neuropathy, and 50% for grade 3 sensory neuropathy. Common side effects such as moderate constipation and sensory neuropathy were managed aggressively, without routine reductions in the dose of vincristine. Severe constipation was more frequent during the first cycle and decreased substantially during subsequent cycles. The dose of vincristine was increased up to a full dose if the toxic effect for which it had been reduced lessened^ref.
