Abstract
Childhood B-cell lymphomas (B-NHLs) represent a group of aggressive malignancies that are amenable to high-intensity chemotherapy regimens. In 1992, the Italian Association of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology (AIEOP) initiated a prospective clinical trial involving the diagnosis and treatment of childhood B-NHL based on a well established strategy developed by the Berlin-Frankfurt-Munster Group. Between November 1992 and October 1997, 163 children who had B-NHL were treated prospectively in the first national AIEOP trial. Disease staging was performed according to the St. Jude staging system, and treatment was assigned on the basis of risk group (R1, R2, or R3), which took into account disease stage and resectability and serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels. Of the 144 evaluable patients, 11 had Stage I disease, 35 had Stage II disease, 76 had Stage III disease, and 22 had Stage IV disease. Thirteen, 54, and 77 patients were included in risk groups R1, R2, and R3, respectively. The 10-year overall survival (OS) and event-free survival (EFS) rates for the overall population were 89.4% and 81.8%, respectively; the EFS rates for patients in risk groups R1, R2, and R3 were 100%, 86.9%, and 75.1%, respectively.
