HR indicates hazard ratio; CI, confidence interval; PFS, progression-free survival; OS, overall survival; EMD, extramedullary disease; PET, positron emission tomography; SUV, standardized uptake value; ISS, international staging system; ASCT, autologous stem cell transplantation; VGPR, very good partial response; FL, focal lesion; del, deletion; and t, translocation.
