Purpose.Limited treatment options are available for patients with diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and unable to have Adriamycin-containing chemotherapy due to cardiac disease. We treated those patients with Bentamustine and Rituximab. We also conducted in vitro experiments to treatment DLBCL cell line with Bendamustine. The purpose of this study was to assess the effecacy of bendamustine in DLBCL patients and cell lines..Methods.Patients, who has been confirmed to have DLBCL, with severe cardiac disease were treated with Rituximab 375 mg/m2 on day 1 and Bendamustine 100 mg/m2 on day 1 and 2 of each 21-day cycle for a total of 6 cycles. Response to therapy was assessed by PET/CT scan. Human DLBCL cell line OCI-LY8 and RJ-LY1 were treated with bendamustine at the concentration of 100μMol/L. Cell viability, apoptosis induction, mRNA and protein expression were evaluated. .Results.Three consecutive patients were treated and had reveived complete remission (CR) after 6 cycles of bendamustine and rituximab treatment. The side effects were manageable. In vitro study, we found that Bendamustine treated DLBCL cells has decreased in viability, induced late apopotosis, increased in caspase-3 and caspase-8 but decreased in BCL-2 expression on mRNA and protein..Conclusion .The combination of Rituximab and Bendamustine has activity against DLBCL and could be potential first line therapy for patients who are contradicted with anthracycline.
