Osteolymphoma (primary bone lymphoma): an Australian review of 70 cases

Abstract

High rates of local control were achieved by RT, but the overall survival remains relatively poor, worse than nodal lymphoma. The natural history of the disease suggests that OL may be a distinct entity, different to nodal lymphomas, so the results of clinical trials in nodal lymphoma may not be relevant to OL. Prospective studies could define the outcome of combined modality therapy and set a benchmark for testing further proposals, as well as improving our knowledge of the clinical features of OL.
