ABSTRACT
Seventeen patients with advanced lymphoma were treated with high-dose chemotherapy with autologous bone marrow rescue. In 11 patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) there were 2 complete remissions (CRs) and 2 partial remissions (PRs), and in 6 patients with Hodgkin's disease there were 5 CRs. Three patients remain well in unmaintained remission (days 874, 446 and 351), and a further 2 are alive and still receiving treatment (days 650 and 558). This type of therapy appears useful and should now be considered earlier in the course of the disease.
