Abstract

The significance of typing and subtyping in the survival rate of 116 patients suffering from pathologically proved malignant lymphoma is presented. The data shows that Hodgkin’s desease was least malignant. and had the highest survival rate (P<0.005). Lymphoblastic lymphoma had the highest degree of malignancy. and had the lowest survival curve. However, it is important to point out that the middle portion of the lymphoblastic lymphoma curve was similar to that of the peripheral T cell lymphoma. Although the degree of malignancy and the curve of the peripheral T-cell and B-cell lymphoma were similar (0.5<P<0.05), their middle sections were separated. This fact is worthy of further study. Typing malignant lymphoma is of practical importance.
