  • Title: Modified CHOP in an aged patient with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and probable extensive pulmonary involvement.
    Author: Asano Y, Ohshima K, Yoshizawa S, Shiraishi G, Kato K.
    Journal: Int J Hematol; 1991 Aug; 54(4):327-9. PubMed ID: 1777606.
    Abstract:
    A 75-year-old female was admitted to our hospital because of shortness of breath and palpitations. Chest roentgenogram together with a CT scan showed multiple nodular shadows in both lung fields, with hilar lymphadenopathy. The cervical lymph nodes were enlarged, and were biopsied to reveal diffuse large T-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Extensive pulmonary involvement was suspected and treatment with a modified CHOP regimen was begun. Following therapy, pulmonary symptoms were remarkably improved, and chest roentgenogram revealed virtually complete clearance of lung lesions. No severe side effects were observed as a result of the therapy.
