In a group of 30 patients with the diagnosis of malignant non-Hodgkin lymphoma of high histological malignancy, a prospective randomized study was carried out concerning the effectiveness and toxicity of the CHOP chemotherapy using adriamycin vs epirubicin. The effectiveness and tolerance of both treatment programmes are comparable. Good tolerance of the used epirubicin dose encourages to its increase in combined chemotherapy programmes in order to achieve higher therapeutic effectiveness.
