title: [Significance of chemotherapy complementary to radiotherapy in stages I and II in Hodgkin's disease].
abstract: In a series of 118 cases of Hodgkin's disease in stage I and II successively treated by irradiation alone or by chemotherapy followed by irradiation or by chemotherapy + irradiation + chemotherapy, a retrospective analysis brings out the share of classical radiotherapy in the cures associated with chemotherapy, which in providing a remission rate of the order of 90 p. 100 renders superfluous the maintenance of a long course of chemotherapy and of negligible interest the performance of an exploratory laparotomy.
