Abstract
AIMS/METHODS: A longitudinal study of 22 malignant lymph nodes by colour Do ppler (CD) and/or colour power (CP) ultrasonography was undertaken in 12 no n-Hodgkin's lymphoma patients to delineate changes in vascularity, and corr elate this response with clinical outcome. RESULTS: Reduced vascularity in response to chemotherapy was shown to be a positive prognostic sign. CONCLUSIONS: More persistent nodal vascularity mag signify a less favourabl e prognosis. Ho, S.
