Hematological Malignancies

General principles of management

• Early stage:

– Low-grade: curative RT – High-grade: CMT if RT feasible. Full course chemo alone if not.

• Tolerability of chemo • Response to chemo • Morbidity of RT • Suitability for future salvage

• Advanced stage:

– Low-grade: systemic Rx ± RT for local control – High-grade: systemic Rx ± consolidation RT to sites of EN disease
