Abstract:
The authors present the results of treatment of 26 patients suffering from non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in relapse. Remission which preceded the relapse was obtained in all patients with combination chemotherapy CVP (cyclophosphamide, vincristine and prednisone). For a second-choice regimen the following treatment modalities were used: 1) DTIC + prednisone; 2) VM-26 + procarbazine + prednisone; or 3) therapeutic splenectomy + combination CVP. The best results (the longest second remission) were obtained in patients who underwent therapeutic splenectomy, followed by a CVP regimen.
