Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Radiation Oncology

Background:

  • Non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL) are a diverse group of cancers.
  • Radiotherapy is a primary treatment modality for several lymphoma subtypes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To synthesize current literature on the role of radiotherapy in treating NHL.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of radiotherapy across different NHL stages and subtypes.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive literature review of 158 scientific articles.
  • Inclusion of 16 randomized, 18 prospective, and 90 retrospective studies.
  • Analysis of data from 14,137 patients.

Main Results:

  • NHL demonstrates high radiosensitivity with infrequent local recurrence.

  • Radiotherapy alone may cure approximately 50% of stage I low-grade and high-grade NHL.
  • Higher doses are needed for high-grade lymphomas; radiotherapy is indicated for localized extranodal disease (skin, orbit) and MALT lymphoma.

    • Conclusions:

    • Radiotherapy is a curative option for select early-stage NHL patients.
    • Consolidation radiotherapy may improve complete remission rates after chemotherapy.
    • Radiotherapy has a limited role in advanced stages but is valuable palliatively.
