Twenty-nine patients with Stages I and II nodular, poorly differentiated lymphocytic lymphoma were treated with radiation therapy or radiation therapy plus chemotherapy. Twenty-two patients with Stage I received radiation to the involved field, the other seven with Stage II received total lymphoid radiation. Complete remission was achieved in all 29. There were no differences in remission duration or survival according to treatment modality. Five of 29 (17%) patients relapsed. No relapses were observed after 5 years. Ten patients died; one patient died of lymphoma, and nine others died in continuous complete remission of various other causes. Sixty-six percent of the patients were alive at 74-160 months (median 118 months). Involved field radiation with or without chemotherapy was well tolerated, producing acceptable toxicity. Substantially more toxicity was observed after total lymphoid irradiation and although cures were also achieved, less toxic treatment programs should be investigated. The low rate of relapse observed in early stages of this lymphoma in this and in other studies is suggestive that cures might be achieved in nearly one-half of the patients presenting in early stage.
