title: [Hodgkin's disease and pregnancy].
abstract: The onset of pregnancy raises special problems during Hodgkin's disease and renders difficult full assessment of the extent of the disease. Furthermore acute exacerbations are fairly common, except in patients with a complete remission for more than two years. The critical period seems to be labour and the following weeks. In fact when pregnancy occurs during Hodgkin's disease, one may decide to interrupt it. However, if the patient has been in remission for more than two years, one may allow the pregnancy to continue. The decision will be taken in the light of each case. After pregnancy contraception should be advised in all women with Hodgkin's disease.
