title: [Curability of advanced malignant lymphoma under conditions of modern combination chemotherapy].
abstract: 102 patients from the same oncologic center with malignant lymphomas (52 with Hodgkin's disease, 50 with non-Hodgkin lymphomas) have been analyzed. One population received monochemotherapy only and the other polychemotherapy: the first remission and survival results were published in 1975 on the basis of calculated life expectancy. Now, 3 years later, the same populations are again analyzed and "real" survival data are compared with those calculated. All patients now have a minimal observation time of 6 years. Even if our first published data were too optimistic, polychemotherapy still appears to offer the better life expectancy.
