Trial Summary
What is the purpose of this trial?
The purpose of this study is to determine the optimal radiation dose fractionation regimen for low grade follicular lymphoma. It is hypothesized that the complete response rate with the use of 12 Gy in 6 daily fractions is 80% (10% total width of the confidence interval) at 3 months. This phase II study will evaluate whether an intermediate dose for follicular lymphoma is associated with excellent response rates while minimizing acute and late toxicity.
