2. Cardiac compromise due to local extension of lymphoma will not be an exclusion criterion in the absence of other cardiac disease
3. Impairment of bone marrow function (WBC < 3.0 x 10^9/L, ANC < 1.5 x 10^9/L, PLT < 100 x 10^9/L), unless due to involvement by lymphoma
4. Major impairment of renal function (serum creatinine > 2 x upper normal) or liver function (ASAT/ALAT > 2.5 x upper normal, total bilirubin > 2.5 x upper normal), unless due to lymphoma involvement
5. Known HIV infection. Patients will not be tested routinely.
