Abstract

One hundred forty-nine patients with either stage IA (90 patients) or stage IIA (59 patients) Hodgkin's disease (HD) received radiotherapy alone as their first line treatment. Only stage of the nine factors selected for Cox multivariate analysis was of prognostic significance. Patients with grade 1 nodular sclerosing HD did not have a significantly better disease-free survival than those with grade 2 disease.
