With adequate support from a multidisciplinary care team, outpatient induction chemotherapy was safe for these patients.

In an effort to gather data on hazardous drug exposure, researchers surveyed oncology nurses regarding spills and use of personal protective equipment at 12 participating academic infusion centers.

The researchers found that high rates of remission could be achieved with induction therapy using rituximab/bendamustine in addition to rituximab/cytarabine.
