    Abstract:
    Localized refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCL) were treated with concurrent chemo-radiotherapy. Case 1 had right cervical lymphadenopathy. Lymphoma enlarged even after the fourth courses of chemotherapy consisting of cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisolone (CHOP). The second case had a pharyngeal tumor and bilateral cervical lymphadenopathy. A lymphoma enlarged after eighth courses of CHOP. Both cases were treated with concurrent chemo-radiotherapy. Chemotherapy consisted of mitoxantrone, methotrexate, ifosfamide,and prednisolone (MMIP). The dose of radiation to the involved sites was 40 Gy. The first case received chemotherapy three days after radiotherapy was started. The second case was treated with chemotherapy, and radiotherapy was begun one day after. Both cases show mucositis and leukopenia. One case received two courses of chemotherapy after chemo-radiotherapy, and the other received no additional chemotherapy. Both cases achieved complete remission after the combined therapy, however, lymphoma in one case recurred three months after the therapy. It is possible that this concurrent chemo-radiotherapy is effective for localized DLBCL which did not disappear after standard chemotherapy.
