Radiotherapy for Stage I–III Nodal Low-Grade Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma

Abstract

Our results maintain external radiotherapy as a curative concept in the treatment of limited stage low-grade lymphoma, especially in younger patients. Patterns of recurrence would favor total nodal irradiation (TNI) as an appropriate approach for these patients.

Radiotherapy for Orbital Lymphoma

“…In some studies 20-30 Gy were sufficient and relapses were only observed with radiation doses < 20 Gy [2,27]. However, doses up to 36 Gy seem to be able to control > 90% of the most common, indolent orbital NHLs [14,18,22,26]. Contrarily, the dose for intermediate and aggressive orbital NHLs is not well defined.…”

“…The role of chemotherapy in the treatment of indolent stage IE orbital lymphoma is limited [6,17,22]. On the one hand, systemic therapy alone is not sufficient for local control, whereas on the other hand, long-term survival is not influenced by adjuvant chemotherapy directly after radiation treatment [6].…”

Helmet Mold-Based Surface Brachytherapy for Homogeneous Scalp Treatment: a Case Report

“…Radiotherapy aimed at treating the entire head skin with a dose as homogeneous as possible to a depth of 3 mm applying a total dose of 36 Gy in single doses of 2.0 Gy five times a week according to commonly accepted involved-field treatment regimens for low-grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma [2,6,8,13].…”

Current First-line and Salvage Treatment Strategies in Patients with Advanced-stage Follicular Lymphoma

“…Since FL is considered to be one of the most radiosensitive tumours, [93][94][95] the role of radiotherapy (RT) as consolidation treatment of regions with bulky disease after completion of chemotherapy has been investigated.…”
