Abstract

The prognosis of relapsing Hodgkin's disease (HD) and high grade aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) is generally poor since many of these patients fail to respond to second line chemotherapy. Radiation therapy has been reported as an effective but seldom used, alternative treatment. We have observed very encouraging results with salvage radiotherapy in a highly selected group of eight lymphoma patients (six with HD and two with high grade NHL), suffering mainly from nodal relapse. The literature on the use of radiation therapy after chemotherapy failures in HD and NHL is reviewed.
