Primary gastric lymphoma. A survey of 7 cases.

Clinical characteristics and response to therapy of 7 patients with primary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the stomach and 1 patient with double malignancy are analysed. All patients but one were gastrectomized and subjected to the chemotherapy (COP, CHOP or leukeran + prednison) programme. In 3 patients (2 with lymphocytic lymphoma and 1 with lymphoplasmocytic lymphoma) no recurrence occurred in the course of the observation time ranging from 18 to 20 months.

Results of treatment in 273 patients with Hodgkin's disease from 1971 to 1980 in comparison with results of treatment in 240 patients from 1951 to 1970.

Results of treatment obtained in 273 patients with HD from 1971 to 1980 were compared with 240 patients with HD in the period from 1951 to 1970. All patients in our material were analysed by taking into consideration the histological type and the clinical stage. We confirmed the prolongation of the survival time in the patients with HD in last ten years to 18 months.
