IPI (International Prognostic Index) was used for the evaluation of DLBCL. IPI 1: low risk; IPI 2: low-intermediate risk; IPI 3: high-intermediate risk; IPI 4: high risk. * FLIPI (Follicular Lymphoma International Prognostic Index) was used for FL. FLIPI 0–1: low risk; FLIPI 2: intermediate risk; FLIPI≥3: high risk.
