A nontraditional variant for the irradiation of locally disseminated forms of lymphogranulomatosis

: The authors describe immediate results of treatment of 29 patients with lymphogranulomatosis characterized by location above the diaphragm and large volume of tumour masses. Treatment included irradiation against the background of synchronization of cell cycles of the tumour cells and use of metothrexate and folic acid that allowed to reduce early and remote complications of radiation therapy due to reduction of the total radiation doses.
