[Chemotherapy of non-hodgkin's lymphomas (author's transl)]

Recent progress in the chemotherapy of Non-Hodgkin's lymphomas has been achieved in the management of subtypes with unfavourable histology. Multi drug regimens like C-MOPP, CHOP and BACOP led to high remission rates and in some cases probably also to a cure of the disease. Disseminated low grade malignancy Non-Hodgkin's lymphomas are probably uncurable and request individual therapy adapted to the natural history of the disease.
