Twenty-one previously untreated cases, who underwent the same protocol at our department from January 1984 until December 1986, were investigated. The following results were obtained. Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma accounted for 10.5% of all the head and neck malignant tumors at our department. The age range was from 23 to 76 years of age and had a peak in the forties. Fourteen were male and seven were female. According to the stage distribution, six cases were stage I (28.6%), nine were stage II (42.9%), four were stage III (19.0%) and two were stage IV (9.5%). Stage I and II accounted for 71.4%. By site grouping, palatine tonsil and nasal cavity accounted for 38.1%, respectively. Surgical therapy was presumably useful for a solitary lesion which resisted all conservative therapies. By combined therapy with radiotherapy, VAPE-Chemotherapy and OK-432-immunotherapy, the survival rates were 100% (stage I), 77.8% (Stage II), 50% (stage III) and 50% (stage IV). The mean survival rate was 76.2%.
