InterventionAll patients receive induction chemotherapy with CHOP or VAPEC-B. Patients in complete or good partial remission following induction receive radiotherapy to the areas of bulky disease.

Patients are then randomised as follows:

GOOD RISK PATIENTS: Good risk patients are randomised to one of two treatment arms:
1. Arm A: No treatment
2. Arm B: High dose melphan and autologous bone marrow transplant (ABMT)

INTERMEDIATE/POOR PATIENTS: Patients are randomised to one of two treatment arms:
3. Arm C: High dose melphan and ABMT
4. Arm D: Patients receive high dose melphan, total body irradiation 10.5 Gy in three fractions over 24 h plus ABMT or a BEAM chemotherapy transplant
