Among the 50 patients, 32 (64%) had mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma,  12 (24%) had follicular lymphoma, and 6 (12%) had unclassifiable low-grade B-cell lymphoma. Thirty-one patients (62%) had stage I disease, and 36 (72%) were newly diagnosed. At a median follow-up of 37.4 (95% CI, 33.7-52.5) months, the 2-year local control rate was 89.4% (95% CI, 81.0%-98.7%), and the 2-year overall survival rate was 98.0% (95% CI, 94.1%-100%); 45 patients (90.0%; 95% CI, 78.2%-96.7%) experienced a complete response to response-adapted radiation, including 44 patients with a complete response to ultralow-dose radiation and 1 patient with a complete response after an additional 20 Gy. No local recurrences were observed among patients with a complete response to response-adapted therapy. No grade 3 or higher toxic effects were observed. In a planned subset analysis of 22 patients with newly diagnosed, untreated stage I mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma, the 2-year local control rate was 90.7% (95% CI, 79.2%-100%), and the
