Phase 3
This trial compared 2 different doses of radiotherapy to treat people with non Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL).
Doctors often treat non Hodgkin lymphoma with radiotherapy. All cancer treatment has side effects, and doctors are aware that problems can be caused by giving too much treatment as well as by giving too little.
The aim of the trial was to find out if a lower dose of radiotherapy was better than the standard dose and caused fewer side effects.
Recruitment start: 1 May 1997
