    Author: Kanaev SV, Gershanovich ML, Pozharisskiĭ KM, Girshovich MM, Golovanov SG.
    Journal: Vopr Onkol; 2005; 51(1):56-9. PubMed ID: 15909808.
    Abstract:
    The relevance of certain factors in therapy of Hodgkin's disease was evaluated in patients with stage III A (232) and III B (97). Among them were age above 45 years, an increase of more than 50% in blood-serum alkaline phosphatase, presence of at least five lesions, lymph node clusters of 5 cm in diameter and more, and male sex, when two introductory courses of combination chemotherapy were used in stage III A or 2-4 courses (stage III B), followed by total or subtotal irradiation of lymph nodes. The prognostic relevance of either factor was further demonstrated by its increased significance when their different combinations were used.
