Result:
Twenty-eight patients (93%) underwent resection of their disease. Eleven patients had the resection followed by chemotherapy. Eleven patients had the resection followed by chemotherapy and radiotherapy. All had pathologic evidence. Twenty-nine patients were categorized as B-cell type NHL. One had T-cell lesion. Eleven patients had stage I disease, 11 stage II, 4 stage III, and 4 stage IV. The 5-year survival rate was 36.67%.
