A study of correlation between histological, staging classification and prognosis of malignant lymphoma

In order to study the relationship between histological staging classification and prognosis, 62 cases of malignant lymphoma were analyzed retrospectively according to each histological type and staging classification during the last eight years (1976-1983). The findings obtained from this study were as follows: The incidence of malignant lymphoma in this department (Fourth Department of Internal Medicine, Tokai University) almost coincided with that reported before. Patients with Hodgkin's disease had almost the same results as that reported before even in the advanced stage. The prognosis of patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma was almost the same as that previously reported.
