Abstract

Eighty-two patients with primary gastric (IE, II1E, and II2E) non-Hodgkin's lymphoma according to the Musshoff's staging system were treated with combined modality including surgery with/without radiotherapy between January 1985 and December 1991. According to the Updated Kiel classification 54 had high-grade histologic subtypes and 28 low-grade. The strategy throughout the study was to resect primary tumor: all patients underwent gastrectomy, 40 subtotal and 42 total gastrectomy. The resection permitted complete surgical staging utilizing three pathologic features: disease confined within or beyond the serosa, negative/positive regional lymph nodes, and negative/positive surgical margins. If there was no evidence of these pathologic factors, the patients who underwent surgery alone received no further radiotherapy. On the other hand, all patients who presented at least one of three pathologic factors were treated with adjuvant radiotherapy after the resection. All except 14 patients presented at least one of the pathologic features and 50 (61%) patients had involvement of the whole gastric wall. Radiotherapy included the gastric bed and para-aortic lymph nodes and, for the patients, who had positive regional lymph nodes in com...Continue Reading

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.

B-Cell Lymphoma

B-cell lymphomas include lymphomas that affect B cells. This subtype of cancer accounts for over 80% of non-Hodgkin lymphomas in the US. Here is the latest research.

CNS Lymphoma

In CNS lymphoma, cancerous cells from lymph tissues or other parts of the body form tumors in the brain and/or spinal cord. Here is the latest research on this rare non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
