Abstract
Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma associated with pregnancy is rare. To date, only 1 case in which lymphoma was diagnosed and treated during pregnancy, with normal pregnancy outcome, has been reported. We describe another case where life-threatening, diffuse, poorly differentiated lymphocytic lymphoma was diagnosed during the 13th week of pregnancy. Combination chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide, vincristine, bleomycin, and prednisone) resulted in remission and a health full-term infant was born.

Abstract
A case of germ cell carcinoma (of presumed testicular origin) is described in which acute lymphocytic leukemia developed within nine months of the diagnosis. Possible relationships between the two neoplasms are discussed, as well as the need for continued observation of patients with germ cell tumors as they are living longer and may be at higher risk for developing a second cancer.

Abstract
Patients with diffuse lymphoblastic lymphoma (which includes convoluted lymphocytic lymphoma) with mediastinal involvement have predictable progression of disease to a leukemic phase that is cytologically indistinguishable from acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Therefore we treated 12 patients with diffuse lymphoblastic lymphoma involving the mediastinum with therapy that is effective in ALL. Treatment consisted of intermittent combination chemotherapy with adriamycin and preventive central nervous system therapy (craniocervical irradiation and intrathecal methotrexate). Mediastinal irradiation was given either for initial respiratory distress or to patients who had incomplete regression of disease following induction chemotherapy. Eleven patients achieve complete remission. With a median follow-up of 41 mo, and using life table analysis, 86% of these patients have remained in continuous complete remission. The results of this study demonstrate the efficacy of treating diffuse lymphoblastic lymphoma with mediastinal presentation as a disseminated lymphoid malignancy.

Abstract
Two patients with stage 2A Hodgkin's disease were treated with chemotherapy followed by radiation therapy. After treatment, both patients had mass lesions. Resection and histologic examination of these lesions showed only fibrosis, necrosis, and inflammation. Benign mass lesions occurring after therapy for Hodgkin's disease have not been previously described.

Abstract
Between April 1969, and December 1974, 111 consecutive surgically staged I A and II A patients with supradiaphragmatic Hodgkin's disease were treated at the Joint Center for Radiation Therapy. Patients received 3600--4400 rad to mantle and para-aortic--splenic pedicle regions. Median follow-up was 56 months (30--96). Fourteen patients developed relapsing Hodgkin's disease and three patients died of possible treatment-related causes, two with acute myocardial infarctions and one with radiation pneumonitis. Patients with mediastinal enlargement greater than one third of the chest diameter have a significantly higher risk (p less than 0.01) of developing relapse (9 of 18) than patients with lesser or no mediastinal disease (5 of 93). Of the 18 patients with large mediastinal disease, six relapsed in the mediastinum and two in the lung. There continue to be no pelvic extensions in the entire group. There is a 92% relapse-free and 97% overall survival in the 93 patients without extensive mediastinal disease. We continue to recommend mantle and para-aortic--splenic pedicle irradiation for these patients. In view of the large number of relapses in patients with extensive mediastinal disease, we are now treating this subgroup of patients with MOPP chemotherapy in addition to mantle and para-aortic irradiation.

Abstract
1. Seminoma may occasionally be rapidly growing, aggressive, radioresistant, and chemotherapy-resistant tumor. 2. Alkylating agents have had the greatest number of trials and have produced the best response rates in the management of seminoma, but a wide range of other agents warrants trials. 3. Adjunct chemotherapy is a logical consideration in patients with stage II and stage III seminoma.

Abstract
A 27 year old man with Hodgkin's disease experienced three separate episodes of chest pain, each occurring on the sixth day of a cycle of mustargen, oncovin, procarbazine, prednisone (MOPP) combination chermotherapy. The first episode appeared to represent a myocardial infarction, whereas the next two were less serious. Numerous studies were performed including coronary angiography, cardiac catheterization and open pericardial biopsy. It is suggested that the patient represents an example of a previously undescribed syndrome due to chemotherapy administered after cardiac irradiation.

Abstract
Eighty-three patients with Stage II or Stage III germinal neoplasia of the testis and 7 patients with extragonadal primary tumors were treated with bleomycin plus vinblastine, or a five-drug program, bleomycin plus cyclophosphamide, vincristine, methotrexate, and 5-fluorouracil. Of the 70 Stage III patients, there were 53 responses (75%), 22 complete and 31 partial. The mean survival of the complete responders is 100+ weeks, with 3 dead. The mean survival of the partial responders and nonresponders is 38 weeks and 33 weeks, respectively. There is a highly significant difference between complete responders vs. partial and nonresponders (p less than 0.01). Thirteen patients with nonmeasurable disease (Stage II and Stage III postresectional status) but at great risk to develop widespread metastasis were treated prophylactically after conventional therapy. Nine continue in complete response to 36 months. The 7 extragonadal primary patients showed 4 partial responses, none complete. Major toxicity was myelosuppression and also bleomycin pneumonitis in 5 of the 90 evaluable patients.

Abstract
Choriocarcinoma with a primary site in the chest is rarely found. Characteristically, it is seen in young men presenting with cough, gynecomastia and chest pain. The disease is invariably fatal. The presently accepted therapy (triple therapy), consisting of methotrexate, actinomycin D and chlorambucil, has been unsuccessful to date.
