About

Evaluation of efficacy, safety profile and tolerability of rituximab (MabThera) in combination with chemotherapy in the treatment of Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL). Participants, who were not treated previously for DLBCL, will receive MabThera in combination with Cyclophosphamide, Hydroxydaunorubicin, Oncovin, Prednisone (CHOP) or CHOP-like chemotherapy according to registered indication. Patients will be followed up for safety and efficacy evaluation in accordance with routine practice. The study will be non-interventional and by its design purely observational.
