Abstract

Thirty patients with stage III and IV non-Hodgkin's lymphoma were treated by total-body irradiation (TBI). Eleven patients had previously received local radiotherapy or chemotherapy. Toxicity was confined to haematological depression. Complete remission of disease was achieved in 14 patients. Non-leukaemic patients who had received no previous treatment reacted best to TBI (ten complete remissions in 13 patients). We consider TBI a helpful treatment in non-leukaemic patients with advanced lymphosarcoma.
