Abstract

In 1985 a new treatment regimen for advanced non-Hodgkin's lymphoma was started in the "Instituto da Criança-HC-FMUSP". The final results are remarkably better than those achieved with former programs. Two cases of children who developed a second neoplasm after the therapy was completed are described and discussed.
