    Summary

    Total body irradiation effectively treats advanced lymphosarcomas, yielding high response and remission rates. Many patients achieved unmaintained complete remission, even after prior chemotherapy.

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Radiation Oncology

    Background:

    • Advanced lymphosarcomas present a significant therapeutic challenge.
    • Conventional treatments may have limitations in achieving durable remissions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of total body irradiation (TBI) in treating advanced lymphosarcomas.
    • To assess response and remission rates in patients undergoing TBI.

    Main Methods:

    • Patients with advanced lymphosarcomas received total body irradiation.
    • Response and remission rates were meticulously documented.

    Main Results:

    • Total body irradiation demonstrated encouraging results in advanced lymphosarcomas.
    • High response and remission rates were observed.
    • 66% (4/6) of patients achieved unmaintained complete remission.
    • Favorable responses were noted in patients with a history of chemotherapy.

    Conclusions:

    • Total body irradiation is a promising modality for advanced lymphosarcomas.
    • TBI can induce high rates of complete remission, even in heavily pre-treated patients.
