- Subclinical cardiac toxicity [ Time Frame: Day 135 ]Subclinical cardiac toxicity determined by the percentage of measurings experiencing a decrease in LEVF determined by echocardiography with final LEVF <55% at day 135
- Subclinical cardiac toxicity [ Time Frame: Day 225 ]Subclinical cardiac toxicity determined by the percentage of measurings experiencing a decrease in LEVF determined by echocardiography with final LEVF <55% at day 225
- Survival [ Time Frame: 2 and 5 years ]Event free survial, progression free survival and overall survival at 2 and 5 years.
- Response rate [ Time Frame: Day 135 ]Overall response rates and complete responses evaluated by the International Harmonization Project for response criteria in lymphoma
- Cardiac/cardiovascular toxicity [ Time Frame: During 5 years ]Rate of cardiac/cardiovascular toxicity according to the CTC criteria (version 4.0) of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) during the treatment and during 5 years
- Toxicity (except cardiac) [ Time Frame: During 2 years ]No cardiotoxicity according to the CTC criteria (version 4.0) of the NCI during 24 months
- Cardiac biomarkers [ Time Frame: During 12 months ]Cardiotoxicity determined by elevated values of troponin and NT-proBNP and decreased values of LEVF determined during 12 months
