InterventionINDUCTION / CONSOLIDATION:
Patients are randomised to one of two treatment arms:
1. Arm A: Chemotherapy with Chlorambucil, idarubicin and dexamethasone (CID), cycle to be repeated every 21 days. Patients showing a response following three courses will receive three further consolidation courses.
2. Arm B: Chemotherapy with Chlorambucil and dexamethasone (CD), cycle to be repeated every 21 days. Patients showing a response following three courses will receive three further consolidation courses.

RADIOTHERAPY: Patients may be given localised radiotherapy to initial areas of bulky disease if a complete response in that particular site has not been obtained following induction.

MAINTENANCE: Patients who have shown a complete response or good partial response following six cycles of induction therapy are eligible for the second randomisation. Patients are randomised to one of three groups:
1. Group A: No further therapy.
2. Group B: Low dose interferon, 1MU subcutaneously three times a week until progression or maximum of 36 months.
3. Group C: High dose interferon, 3MU subcutaneously three times a week until progression or maximum of 36 months.
