title: [The results of radiotherapy managements in Hodgkin's disease (author's transl)].
abstract: We reported the results of radiotherapy managements in Hodgkin's disease about 185 patients. From this study, it seems to appear possible to confirm or to note some particular facts: the real good prognosis of the forms begining in the right sus-clavicular fossa; the special staging of the long time survival patients (II Aa, type II); the small value in survival of chemotherapy done before and/or after radiotherapy in the I and II stages; in the other side, the true amelioration comming from chemotherapy in the III and IV stages; the value of irradiation by expanded fields; the particular interest of the total mode irradiation done at the beginning or during the course of the illness; the optimal dose of larger than or equal to 4 000 rads with a weekly dose of larger than or equal to 1 000 rads; the good tolerance of the radiotherapy. From this prelimary study, we hope dowing well in further with a greater number of patients.
