• Oncovin (Vincristine)
• Prednisone Treatment typically involves 6 cycles, with each cycle lasting 21 days. You'll receive 5 days of therapy followed by a rest period. R-CHOP is considered very effective, with 50-70% of people responding well to treatment with their cancer going into complete remission.
