OBJECTIVES:
* To identify genes predictive of clinical outcome (failure-free survival and overall survival) among patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma treated with CHOP or R-CHOP induction on ECOG-E4494 using the nuclease protection assay for measuring gene expression in paraffin-embedded tissue.
* To identify genes that change their prognostic profile with the addition of rituximab to CHOP chemotherapy.
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.
Unstained formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded samples are analyzed for gene expression via nuclease protection assay.
