AbstractA total of 20 adult patients presenting with previously untreated lymphoblastic lymphoma underwent an intensive chemotherapy protocol. Either the BACOP or the m-BACOD regimen was used for induction. If the patients achieved a complete clinical remission (CR) after three courses, they were given intensive consolidation and maintenance chemotherapy based on a protocol that was modified from the L10/L17M regimen of the Memorial Sloan-Kettering group for acute lymphoblastic leukaemia and lymphoblastic lymphoma. Patients exhibiting localised areas of bulky disease were given additional involved-field ratiotherapy. In all, 15 (75%) men and 5 (25%) women were entered in this study. Their median age was 28 years (mean, 30 years; range, 12-64 years). Overall, 3 (15%) had stage II disease, 3 (15%) had stage III disease and 14 (70%) had stage IV disease; 7 (35%) patients exhibited B symptoms and 4 (20%) had bulky disease. The overall (CR) rate was 10/20 (20%), and that following BACOP and m-BACOD therapy was 4/8 (50%) and 6/12 (50%), respectively. In all, 7 of the 10 complete responders (70%) relapsed. The disease-free survival of the ten who achieved a CR was 23% at 3 years. The overall survival of all 20 patients at 3 years was only 37%, and there were very few long-term survivors. More effective treatment for adult lymphoblastic lymphoma is required.
