    Abstract:
    Patients with stage III (A,B) Hodgkin's disease (366) received chemoradiotherapy consisting of 2-4 courses of combined modality treatment followed by total or subtotal irradiation of lymph nodes. Overall 10-year (84%) and 15-year (79%) and relapse-free 10-year (85%) and 15-year (82%) survival was reported in stage IIIA cases. Subtotal exposure proved relatively more effective in such patients without iliac and inguinal lymph node involvement. If, following combined modality therapy, intoxication symptoms were aborted in stage IIIB patients; fairly good results were obtained after total and subtotal irradiation of lymph nodes or involved areas (10-year (70%) and 15-year (65%) overall and 10-year (75%) and 15-year (75%) relapse-free survival.
