Fifty-five consecutive patients with primary gastrointestinal intermediate or high grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma were analysed to assess the efficacy of chemotherapy following surgical tumour resection. Histological subtypes were high grade (n = 18), intermediate grade (n = 36) and unclassified (n = 1). The majority of patients had gastric presentation (71%) and localised disease (84%). Surgery consisted of radical resection in 25 patients (45%) and partial or palliative excision in the remaining cases (22 and 8 respectively). Four subjects died within 3 months of surgery, two patients refused adjuvant chemotherapy and 49 completed the postoperative chemotherapeutic programme. Chemotherapy included either Fi2/74 (adriamycin + vincristine + bleomycin + cyclophosphamide + prednisone) or Fi3/74 (adriamycin + VM26 + bleomycin + cyclophosphamide + prednisone). Excluding the group who underwent radical tumour resection, postoperative chemotherapy induced complete remission in 81% of the remaining 30 patients. The 10-year cause-specific survival for the 53 treated patients was 76% (median follow-up 58 months) with a stable curve plateau after 80 months. Proportional-hazard multivariate statistics showed that survival was influenced by type of surgical resection (P less than 0.05) and stage (P less than 0.05), whereas age, sex and histological subtype were not influential. Our data indicate that chemotherapy following surgical resection of gastrointestinal lesion induces long-term remission in primary gastrointestinal lymphomas.
