      Abstract

      • 1.
        1. The results of a study comparing the effectiveness of treatment of localized lymphomas by irradiation with treatment by surgical removal, with and without post-operative irradiation, is presented.
      • 2.
        2. The statistics derived indicate that patients who receive the benefits of surgical removal of all known disease have a much better prognosis than those who receive roentgen-ray therapy alone as given in the cases in this analysis.
      • 3.
        3. The evidence suggests that in many instances the lymphomas will begin and remain in a localized stage which is amenable to aggressive surgical therapy and that this therapy can prevent further progression and dissemination of the disease process.
      • 4.
        4. The study suggests that nonradical operations, provided that there is complete removal of all lymphomatous disease, may achieve cure as readily as more radical procedures.
      • 5.
        5. Further investigation of the possible effects of irradiation when given by difficult techniques and dosages may be of extreme importance and will be pursued further in subsequent studies.
