Abstract
Ninety-four patients of lymphoma (55 of Non-Hodgkin's and 39 of Hodgkin's) were evaluated for clinical profile, histological subtypes and therapeutic outcome. Out of 94, 'B' symptoms were present in 66, lymphadenopathy in 82 and anaemia in 50 patients. Forty-three patients presented in stage IV. Mixed cellularity (53.8%) was the most common histologic subtype in Hodgkin's disease and diffuse mixed (30.5%) in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Initial complete remission rates as seen with chemotherapeutic regimes were 74.1% with COPP in Hodgkin's disease and 58.3% with CVP and 75% with CHOP in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
