    Abstract:
    From 1968 to 1976 in the Radiological Clinic of the Karl-Marx-University of Leipzig 199 patients with Hodgkin's disease were irradiated, 24 patients totally nodal. As this form of treatment has been used in our institution only since 1976, on account of the small time interval not the survival rate, but only the quota of recidivation could be used for the judgment of the effectiveness of the total nodal irradiation. Compared with the local irradiation the result was a decrease of the distribution recidivations from 82.3% to 20.8%. Also in comparison to the systemic X-ray treatment above or below the diaphragm (= 34% of recidivations) a clear progress was shown.
