Hello. Regimen given this way is known as r dose adjusted epoch and not r chop. I will not comment on dosages as it will be decided by treating oncologist based on patient tolerance. Typically after completing such 6 cycles. After a gap of at least 2 months. We do a repeat pet ct scan to assess response and rule of any additional role of any therapy. Thank you.
