Abstract

Localized non-Hodgkin's lymphomas of head and neck are generally treated with radiation therapy with or without chemotherapy and the results of treatments are favorable, but the recurrences in the primary site or distant sites are a major contributor to failure, We experiened 19 cases of localized non-Hodgkin's lymphomas for 4-year period and retrogradely analized them. We treated patients with Ann Arbor stage I and low grade histology in Working formulation with radiation therapy and patients with Ann Arbor stage II, moderate to high grade histology or extensive tumor size with combination chemotherapy, The complete responses were occurred in 15 of 19 patients (radiation therapy, 5/6 (83.3%); chemotherapy 10/13(76.9%)). 3 relapses were occurred; 2 were in local relapses and 1 was in distant leptomeningeal relapse and the counter-therapeutic modalities were successful in 2 cases. Our results suggest that Ann Arbor stage is significant prognostic factor and appropriate staging with extensive methods is important to improve the results of treatment.
