The study included 29 patients with high-grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Nine patients (group 1) received 6-8 cycles of CHOP, another 20-6 cycles of CHOP and Dexa-BEAM followed by autologous hemopoietic cell transplantation with CBV or BEAM conditioning regimen (bone marrow or peripheral stem cells) (group 2). The groups were comparable as far as gender and age are concerned. Overall 5-year survival was in 24.1 and 71.4%, respectively. Double CHOP-Dexa-BEAM plus autologous hemopoietic cell transplantation proved superior to standard CHOP-therapy.
