67Ga-subtraction scan was found to be useful and a promising new method for the pre-treatment evaluation of the patient with Hodgkin's disease or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The scan appeared to be most accurate in the neck, chest, and axillary regions. It appears to offer a means of increasing the accuracy of evaluating the abdomen, the para-aortic and pelvic regions. It may be a useful method for the follow-up to detect recurrences. It was an easily performed, safe, non-invasive test, well tolerated and accepted by patients.

An analysis was made of the incidence of various intrathoracic abnormalities noted on plain chest radiographs and tomograms in a consecutive series of 300 patients with untreated Hodgkin's disease and nonHodgkin's lymphoma. Those with Hodgkin's disease have a higher incidence of intrathoracic disease at presentation than those with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (67% vs. 43%). Bulky superior mediastinal lymphadenopathy is the hallmark of Hodgkin's disease. Lung involvement was more common in Hodgkin's disease (11.6% vs. 3.7%) and was always accompanied by mediastinal and/or hilar lymphadenopathy.

The yield of additional information from anteroposterior full-lung tomograms that changed stage or treatment, in comparison to that obtained from routine chest radiographs, was prospectively evaluated in 243 previously untreated patients with Hodgkin's disease and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Although new information was found in 21.4% of all patients, in only 1.2% did these additional data change patient staging. In 3.3% of the other patients the tomograms provided information that affected radiotherapy treatment planning as practiced in our institution.

The results of lymphangiography and other radiologic procedures are compared with those obtained by 67Ga scintigraphy in staging of 27 patients with Hodgkin's disease and 31 patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. A high degree of correlation was found between lymphangiography and 67Ga scintigraphy. Exact localization, however, was only possible by lymphangiography. In some cases, the extent of disease found on scanning appeared to be smaller compared to radiography. Within the chest 67Ga scintigraphy and conventional radiography give almost similar results. Differentiation between neoplastic and inflammatory lymph node involvement is impossible.

A series of 77 gallium-67 citrate (67Ga citrate) scans of the abdomen revealed lymphoma in 12 cases (nine of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, three of Hodgkin's disease). Scanning was undertaken (i) to confirm the suspicion of lymphoma, or (ii) as part of a staging procedure when the diagnosis of lymphoma had been established, or (iii) as a follow-up investigation after treatment of lymphoma. The diagnosis of lymphoma in the upper part of the abdomen is difficult with conventional techniques such as lymphography, and it is in this area that 67Ga citrate scanning is shown to be of value.

Ninety-four patients with lymphoma involving the extradural space with spinal cord compression proven at the time of laminectomy were reviewed. There were about three times as many patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma than with Hodgkin's disease. The majority of those with Hodgkin's disease had a proven histologic diagnosis before the onset of the spinal cord compression syndrome, whereas only 15% of those with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma had previously been so diagnosed. Plain roentgenograms of the spine were suggestive of tumor involvement in less than one-third of the patients, whereas myelograms were invariably abnormal. As noted by others, the outlook for functional recovery and extended life expectancy is relatively good for patients with this type of cancer, in contrast to reports in the literature regarding prognosis for patients who have metastatic carcinoma with extradural spinal cord compression.

Diagnostic B-scan ultrasonography has the capacity to evaluate many potential sites of abdominal and pelvic involvement by Hodgkin's disease and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The varying ultrasonographic features of lymphomatous involvement in the peritoneal cavity and retroperitoneal space are described and potential diagnostic pitfalls are discussed.

Percutaneous microtrephine bone marrow biopsy by the Jamshidi-Swaim method was employed in the investigation of selected patients during a 1-year period. Data obtained from the study confirm the importance of this procedure as a method of diagnosing bone marrow lesions characterised by altered architecture or malignant infiltration. Common examples of such lesions are aplastic anaemia, myelofibrosis, Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and carcinomatosis. Bone marrow aspiration is frequently not helpful in the diagnosis of these diseases, but it is important that both aspirated and biopsy material be examined together, since the two methods are often complementary.

Seventeen patients with lymphomatous involvement of the heart or pericardium were studied. The series includes eight patients with Hodgkin's disease and nine with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. All 17 had radiologia evidence of pulmonary, or mediastinal involvement. Cardiac or pericardial disease in seven was apparently due to direct extension of other intrathoracic tumor masses. Cardiac involvement was usually a late manifestation of lymphoma with median onset 20 months after initial diagnosis. Fourteen patients had been treated for stage IV disease prior to the onset of cardiac lymphoma. Only seven of the 17 patients with cardiac involvement were diagnosed antemortem. Four of them are alive without evidence of disease 8 to 68 months after diagnosis and treatment. Because cardiac lymphomas may respond to therapy with prolonged survival, it is imperative that clinicians suspect cardiac or pericardial involvement in lymphoma patients who have radiographic evidence of intrathoracic lesions (especially adjacent to cardiac borders), unexplained tachyarrhythmia or conduction disturbance, evidence of outflow obstruction, or signs and symptoms suggesting pericardial effusion or tamponade.

Lymphomatous diseases (non-Hodgkin's) of children differ markedly from those of adults in histology, natural history, and response to therapy. Information obtained from treating adults with lymphoma cannot be applied to children with equal success; the progress in treating children has been slow. The following types of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma have been distinguished in children seen at the M. D. Anderson Hospital and Tumor Institute in the past 7 years: 1) diffuse undifferentiated lymphoma (Burkitt's lymphoma); 2) diffuse undifferentiated lymphoma (non-Burkitt's lymphoma lacking leukemic propensity); 3) diffuse poorly differentiated lymphocytic lymphoma (non-Burkitt's lymphoma with leukemic propensity (convoluted cell type); and 4) diffuse histiocytic lymphoma (histiocytic lymphoma). The interrelationships of age, sex, histology, and primary site are presented. The occurrence of mediastinal masses in non-Burkitt's tumor (convoluted cell type) is particularly striking. Therapeutic regimens designed for specific types of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma have improved the outcome of treatment in Burkitt's lymphoma, non-Burkitt's lymphoma (convoluted cell type), and histiocytic lymphoma (Stages I and II) as compared with treatment regimens used prior to 1967.
