[Analysis of therapeutic efficacy of combined radio-chemotherapy, pre-radio-therapy in 61 cases of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma].
Treatment results were retrospectively analyzed in 61 cases of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (stage I: 21 cases, stage II: 40 cases) that were diagnosed between July, 1977 and Oct., 1987. The actuarial five-year survival rates for stages I and II were 84.4% and 50.7% respectively, whereas those were 47.5% and 75.3% respectively for those treated by radiotherapy (XRT) alone and combined radio-chemotherapy including all cases of stage I and II. Also the results of combined radio-chemotherapy were significantly better than those of XRT alone. Particularly, the pre-radio-chemotherapy group had a 5-year survival rate of 85.7%. In conclusion, the results of combined radio-chemotherapy, particularly pre-radio-chemotherapy, was significant between those of XRT alone.
