RT indicates radiation therapy; CHOP, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisolone; Lt, left; Bl, bilateral; PR, partial response; Rt, right; CR, complete response; and EPOCH, etoposide, doxorubicin, vincristine, cyclophosphamide, prednisone.

Disease status at the time of patient mortality.

Patients with new out-of-field disease, as opposed to patients with out-of-field progression of disease that was evident before starting radiation therapy. The times from the completion of radiation therapy to the identification of new out-of field disease in these patients were as follows: patient 2, 9.7 mo; patient 3, 13.8 mo; patient 4, 0.9 mo; and patient 6, 1.9 mo (mean, 6.6 mo).

This male patient was from Haiti. The remaining 9 patients were women from Jamaica.
