Brief Summary: RATIONALE Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill cancer cells It is not yet known which regimen of low-dose radiation therapy is more effective in treating follicular non-Hodgkins lymphoma
PURPOSE This randomized phase III trial is studying two different regimens of low-dose radiation therapy 24Gy versus 4Gy to compare how well they work in treating patients with follicular or marginal zone non-Hodgkins lymphoma
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES
Primary
Compare the local progression-free interval in patients with follicular non-Hodgkins lymphoma NHL treated with 2 different regimens of low-dose radiotherapy
Secondary
Compare acute toxicity at 4 weeks in patients treated with these regimens Compare late toxicity in patients treated with these regimens Compare tumor response at 12 weeks in patients treated with these regimens Compare overall survival in patients treated with these regimens Assess the health economics of these regimens in these patients
OUTLINE This is a multicenter randomized study Patients are randomized to one of two treatment arms
Arm I 4Gy Patients undergo low-dose radiotherapy once daily on days 1 and 2 Arm II 24Gy Patients undergo low-dose radiotherapy once daily on days 1-5 8-12 15 and 16
In both arms treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity
After completion of study therapy patients are followed up for 5 years
