Is mACOP-B and involved-field radiotherapy an effective and safe therapy for primary mediastinal large B cell lymphoma?
Combined-modality treatment with intensive chemotherapy plus mediastinal IFRT induces high response and lymphoma-free survival rates. Involved-field RT plays an important role in inducing negative results on (67)Ga scintigraphy/positron emission tomography in patients responsive to chemotherapy.
The Framingham models should not be used to predict absolute CHD risk in the European population as a whole. However, these models may be used within each country, provided that cut-off points defining high-risk patients have been determined within each country.
