ABSTRACT
NHL is a highly chemo-sensitive as well as radiosensitive disease. From May 2005 to June 2010, 87 patients were randomised into 2 arms. The control arm received the standard CHOP regimen + IFRT, whereas the study arm received Paclitaxel, 135/m2 additionally. The results showed a better Overall Response [87% vs 78%] in the study arm. The Syr and Syr overall survival were significantly better in the study arm [89% vs 77%,p- value <0.05; 83% vs 67%, p-value <0.05]. However, the incidence and severity of the side effects, haematological and non- haematological were enhanced but manageable in the study arm
