title: The effects of four drug regimens on sister chromatid exchange frequency in patients with lymphomas.
abstract: Patients undergoing first-line chemotherapy after diagnosis of lymphoma have considerable DNA damage in their peripheral blood lymphocytes, using sister chromatid exchange (SCE) frequency as a sensitive indicator. Different drug regimens produce different patterns of changes in SCE frequency. These may be related to their potential to induce second malignancies.
