Massive chemotherapy with autologous bone marrow transplantation in 50 cases of bad prognosis non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

50 cases of advanced, intermediate (18) and high grade (32) non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) including 16 with Burkitt lymphoma have been treated with very high dose chemotherapy and autologous bone marrow transplantation (ABMT). These cases represent a retrospective analysis of the combined experience of a recently established collaborative group. 31 patients were treated with a protocol used in Lyon, 12 with that used in Marseille and seven with that used in London.
