[Gastro-intestinal involvement in non Hodgkin's lymphomas, 31 cases (author's transl)].
Gastro-intestinal involvement is a distinctive feature of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. 31 cases are reported among 200 cases on NHL observed between 1960 and 1976. Multiple involvement appeared in 61%; a diffuse histological pattern is frequent (67%). The relapse of primary isolated gastro-intestinal localization (always) affected extra-digestive tissues (nodes, cavum). Chemotherapy is the mainstay of treatment COP, COAP and MOCA. Surgery is associated in localized involvement or in case of obstruction. High energy radiation therapy is indicated only in lymphosarcomas: -- to residual tumor after chemotherapy--in localized involvement diffuse on all the abdomen at 25 grays after surgery and a brief course of chemotherapy versus surgery and long course of chemotherapy alone.
