摘要: Abstract Purpose: To assess the role of radiation therapy in treatment primary localized (Stage I: 24 cases and Stage II: 13 cases) non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (NHL) oral cavity. Methods Materials: In total, 37 patients (27 male, 10 female) with NHL cavity have been treated radiotherapy alone (23 or chemotherapy (14 cases). The age range was 29 to 86 years (median: 65). Clinical variables potential prognostic significance for survival were evaluated by univariate multivariate analysis. Of patients, 31 (84%) had intermediate-grade lymphomas six (14%) high-grade lymphomas. Four showed necrotic ulcer central portion hard palate. Results: 5-year actuarial rate all 73%. rates lymphoma 85% 14%, respectively. Significant factors identified analysis histologic grade malignancy ( p = 0.02) tumor 0.02). Chemotherapy did not improve 0.41). Conclusions: Our suggests that may be approved as no ulceration intermediate histology. However, and/or are difficult cure aggressive should advocated survival.
