[Digestive lymphosarcomas. Apropos of 30 cases].

30 cases of digestive non-Hodgkin lymphomas are studied. Localization of the tumor was gastric in 14 cases, ileocoecal in 9 and in the small bowel in 7. Patients with gastric involvement are older (median 48 1/2 years) than those in the other groups (median 26 years). Management included maximal surgery followed by intensive chemotherapy with adriamycin, VM 26 and cyclophosphamide. This protocol gives excellent results: 85% lasting complete remissions with a median follow-up of 30 months and a maximal follow-up of 102 months. Failures occur only in the lymphoblastic cases which require a more intensive chemotherapy.
