Abstract:
104 cases of children with malignant lymphoma in our hospital from June 1966 to June 1986 are reported. 84 were males and 20 females. Their ages ranged 6 to 12. These patients were 33 HD, 71 NHL. 9 in stage Ⅰ, 29 in stage Ⅱ, 37 in stage Ⅲ and 29 in stage Ⅳ. In this series B group was 55% (57/104). The clinical primary site of intranodular was 75% (78/104) and extranodular 25%(26/104). The treatment methods include rrdiotherapy alone 16, chemotherapy alone 27 and combination 61. The complete remission (CR) was 30% (31/104), partial remission (PR) 58% (60/104). Total repose rate was 88%. The overall 3 and 5 year survival rates were 26.3%(24/91) and 18%(15/83).
