This study found that in young patients with aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma and a favorable prognosis, four cycles of R-CHOP is non-inferior to six cycles of R-CHOP.

Comment: This is important research. It may be possible to reduce the amount of chemotherapy (and thus the side-effects) while still getting the maximum anti-cancer effect.
