Abstract

The initial radiographs of 51 consecutive, previously untreated children with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma were reviewed. The chest radiograph was abnormal in 37%, with pleural effusions seen in 14% of patients. Lymphography, readily performed in children, was positive in 30% of the successful studies. There was a high incidence of bone lesions (18% of patients), due in large part to involvement of the facial bones; all were symptomatic and/or seen on the routine chest and abdominal radiographs. Intrinsic disease of the small bowel (10%) and colon (8%) was also associated with symptoms, so that the value of routine barium studies in asymptomatic children is questioned.

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.
