[Results of treating patients with highly malignant non-Hodgkin's lymphomas; comparison of treatment efficacy with CHOP and CBVPM-AVBP].
The treatment of highly of 43 patients with highly malignant non-Hodgkin lymphomas were analysed and assessed. These patients were treated at the Department of Hematology, Pomeranian Medical Academy within 1981-1990. The process was advanced in 76% of and localization of the tumour outside lymph nodes was also seen in 79%. The results of treatment with CHOP regimen used during the first 5 years were compared with CBVPM-AVBP used in 1986-1990. CBVPM-AVBP regimen proved more 4 effective (55% of the complete remissions) than CHOP regimen (37.5% of the complete remission). Mean duration of the complete remission (survival free from the relapse) was 27.5 (1-88) months. Complete remissions were easier to achieve in patients with centroblastic lymphoma in higher percentage. These patients survived longer than those with other highly malignant lymphomas. The authors conclude that further intensification of chemotherapy in case of highly malignant non-Hodgkin lymphomas is justified.
