[Gastrointestinal lymphomas: results of multimodal therapy in 57 patients of one center].

From 1982-1995, 57 patients with primary gastrointestinal lymphoma were treated with a multimodality therapy. Of these patients, 36 were primary operated, 43 were given an isolated or postoperative chemotherapy and 17 were treated with radiation. Primary operated patients have a significantly better chance of relapse-free survival than those only treated conservatively.
