I haven’t combined CHOEP with high dose methotrexate before! I have treated a patient with HIV-associated B-cell lymphoma with R-EPOCH and high dose methotrexate at D15 successfully with growth factor support. For patients with PTCL-NOS and leptomeningeal involvement at presentation, I would likely drop the etoposide as it was shown by the German group to only add benefit in young patients with ALCL and great with CHOP and high dose methotrexate at D10 with growth factor support.
