title: [The relatinship between prognosis and "Kiel" classification of malignant non-Hodgkin lymphoma. A study of 201 patients (author's transl)].
abstract: The clinical course of 201 patients with malignant non-Hodgkin-lymphomas was analysed according to the Kiel classification. The five-year survival rate of 133 patients with lymphomas of low grade malignancy was 63% in comparison to 23% out of 68 patients with lymphomas of high grade malignancy. Radio- and chemotherapy were used in a different way. Patients with centrocytic-centroblastic lymphomas had the best porgnosis, which was not influenced by the stage of the disease. The poorest prognosis was observered in patients with lymphoblastic lymphomas. These results support the importance of a classification of malignant non-Hodgkin-lymphomas which is not only based on morphological criteria.
