title: [Initial results of hybrid chemotherapy of Hodgkin's disease using COPP/VBA].
abstract: 19 patients with advanced, previously untreated Hodgkin's disease were treated with COPP/ABV (cyclophosphamide, vincristine, procarbasine, prednisolone, adriamycin, bleomycine, vinblastine) hybrid regimen. Complete response was achieved in 8 patients, partial response in 9 patients and primary treatment failure occurred in 2 patients. Two patients received involved field irradiation for the residual disease. 17 months after finishing the therapy one of the complete responders suffered a relapse. Of the 8 partial responders, 5 patients relapsed. 2 relapses occurred during the treatment and 3 relapses were observed in the first 7 months of follow-up. 2 of the partial responders and both nonresponders succumbed to their disease. There were no serious side effects and treatment-related death did not occur.
