R-CHOP is a common and effective treatment regimen for non-Hodgkin lymphoma. It combines rituximab with four other medications:
- Cyclophosphamide
- Doxorubicin (hydroxydaunorubicin)
- Vincristine (formerly Oncovin)
- Prednisone

The treatment is typically given every 21 days for about six cycles, though treatment plans can vary based on individual cases. Rituximab maintenance therapy, which you're currently receiving every two months, is an immunotherapy that specifically targets CD20 proteins on cancer cells. This helps your immune system identify and destroy any remaining cancer cells. Many patients have success with this treatment approach, which combines initial R-CHOP, stem cell transplant, and ongoing maintenance therapy.
