[Prognostic factors of malignant lymphomas].
As prognostic factors of malignant lymphomas, many factors such as histopathology, clinical stage, surface phenotype, primary site, and serum LDH are listed. But when we analyse the data according to the period accumulated for a long time, big differences in survivals are always observed. This fact means that the therapeutic factors become a very important prognostic factors, and the importance of other prognostic factors are influenced by the therapeutic factors. The main subjects in the treatment of lymphomas are the improvement of therapeutic results and the reduction of the intensity of treatment of the patients in whom the cure are expected in high probability. In these situation, statistical analysis of the prognostic factors include therapeutic factor will contribute strongly to the improvement of treatment results.
