Conclusions

• “Rigorous staging” is required to determine appropriate

patients to consider IFRT, including BM biopsy and FDG-

PET scan

• RT remains treat of choice of stage I/II indolent lymphomas

and results in long term progression free survival and

possible “cure” for patients still in remission past 10 years

• For early stage disease 24 Gy in 12 fractions remains the

standard of care for most patients and provides better local

control and 4 Gy in 2 fractions
