Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. To assess the toxicity profile in patients with stage I-II nodal DLBCL undergoing Rituximab based chemo-immunotherapy followed by involved site radiotherapy. 2. To assess the serial changes in quality of life of these patients.Timepoint: 1. Toxicity of chemo-immunotherapy will be assessed before each cycle from 2nd cycle onwards.
