Abstract
Great improvement in the treatment of patients with aggressive non-Hod gkin's lymphoma (NHL) has been obtained with the introduction of new c ombination chemotherapy regimens in the 1970s. The hope that there wou ld be further improvement has waned during recent years due to the fac t that some controlled studies did not reveal any better results using the new more intensive treatment regimens. This is the reason for the question: are we doing any better?
