Rituximab and Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Previously Untreated Mantle Cell Lymphoma

Phase II Study of Rituximab in Combination With Methotrexate, Doxorubicin, Cyclophosphamide, Leucovorin, Vincristine, Ifosfamide, Etoposide, Cytarabine and Mesna (R-MACLO/IVAM) in Patients With Previously Untreated Mantle Cell Lymphoma
