    Author: Kanaev SV, Gershanovich ML, Malinin AP, Kholin AV.

    Abstract:
    A total of 106 case histories of primary patients with stage III Hodgkin's disease aged 15 and older were analyzed. The treatment consisted of 2 introductory courses of polychemotherapy after MOPP scheme followed by a radical program of radiotherapy in 2-4 weeks, resulting in 88.7% of complete remissions. The 5-year survival rate was 81.3-6.3%, a 5-year recurrence-free course was noted in 83.8-5.2%. The 5-year survival rate was significantly lower in the patients with "unfavorable" histological types (mixed cellular and lymphoid depletion). A recurrence-free course over the same period was worse in men than in women, and in the patients with 5 and more zones of involvement.
