RESUMO
123 cases of malignant lymphoma with histologic documentation were reviewed from the files of four contributors from the newly organized Philippine Board of Medical Oncology. Twenty-seven cases of HL and 96 cases of NHL were analyzed according to age, sex, geopgraphic distribution, clinical staging , clinical features, response to therapy, survival time in relation to stage and response to therapy, and non-medical factors which directly affect the prognosis. Multiple drug therapy consisting mainly or cyclophosphamide, vincristine and prednisone were utilized; nitrogen mustard, chlorambucil and mitomycin were also used. Prognosis was good, compatible with long term survival, especially in those who had adequate, continuing therapy. (Summary)
