    Abstract:
    Thirty-seven previously untreated cases of primary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in the head and neck were treated at our department from September 1977 through January 1983. The survival rate at three years by stage was 84% in stage I, 44% in stage II and 0% in stage III and IV. Stage, T- and B-cell markers, initial primary site, the level of lymph node involvement (UICC, 1978) and number were important prognostic factors. Chemotherapy in the pre- or post-radiation period was essential, especially in stage II. It was proved that adequacy of radiation portals with special reference to anatomical considerations was necessary.
