    Journal: Vopr Onkol; 1989; 35(10):1251-4. PubMed ID: 2596072.
    Abstract:
    The clinico-morphological data on 99 autopsied cases of Hodgkin's disease were analysed to assess the histological pattern of the disease as a prognostic factor. A correlation between the histologic pattern of the disease and lethality was established for the first 24 months after diagnosis verification. However, transformation of histological pattern was observed in 50% of cases. It is inferred that histological pattern of Hodgkin's disease can be used as a prognostic factor in planning schedule of treatment, changes in the histologic characteristics of pathological process being taken into account.
