    66(11):1977-9, 1982 Nov. 
  abstract...
    Nineteen patients with advanced non-Hodgkin's lymphoma 
    resistant to previous chemotherapy were treated with 
    combination chemotherapy consisting of lomustine (CCNU), 
    cytarabine, and prednisone. Eight patients (42%) had complete 
    remission and four (21%) had partial remission. The median 
    survival time of the 19 patients was greater than 14 months. 
    The eight patients who had complete remission were still alive 
    as of May 1, 1982, with a median follow-up time of 632 days 
    (range, 365-1247). We believe that this combination 
    chemotherapy scheme warrants further investigation.
