Supports initial R-CHOP response in primary cardiac lymphoma; leaves open strategies to mitigate fatal infections.
Case Report (n=1)
Primary cardiac lymphoma can be diagnosed with multimodality imaging (echocardiography and FDG PET/CT) and may initially respond to R-CHOP chemotherapy, though infectious complications can be fatal.
Kaderli et al. (2009) conducted a case report in Primary cardiac lymphoma (diffuse large B-cell lymphoma) (n=1). Systemic chemotherapy (R-CHOP) was evaluated on Tumour mass regression and survival. Systemic chemotherapy with R-CHOP led to marked regression of the tumour mass in a patient with primary cardiac lymphoma, though the patient subsequently died from pneumonia and sepsis.
