This first biannual report from the Cochrane Haematologiocal Malignancies Group (CHMG) highlights recently published systematic reviews as well as a selection of recently published and ongoing randomized controlled trials from the CHMG Trials Register (http://www.update-software.com/cochrane/). This register is being developed and maintained by the CHMG and currently contains references to approximately 3600 reports of randomized controlled trials that cover the scope of the group, including Hodgkin lymphoma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, acute and chronic leukemias, aplastic anemia, and myelodysplastic syndromes.
We begin by highlighting recent (July through December 2003) systematic
reviews and protocols. We then outline six recently published trials that were
selected by the editorial base of the CHMG on the basis of clinical relevance,
methodological rigor, and anticipated impact. 1) The HD8 trial, conducted by
the German Hodgkin's Lymphoma Study Group, showed that involved field
irradiation is as effective as but less toxic than extended field irradiation
