Radiotherapy in localized stages of follicular and diffuse non-Hodgkin's lymphomas].

Treatment with monoclonal antibodies, especially rituximab, is more and more frequent and questions the interest of radiotherapy in limited stages of diffuse B-cell large cell and follicular non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. From a review of literature, it appears that radiotherapy is of interest in bulky disease, patients with incomplete metabolic response, elderly patients receiving short chemotherapy and those with recurrence after exclusive chemotherapy. Finally, this article gives recommendations on available techniques of radiotherapy and doses to be delivered. Copyright © 2016 Société française de radiothérapie oncologique (SFRO).
