title: [The polychemotherapy and combined treatment of patients with stage-I and -II lymphogranulomatosis and unfavorable prognosis].
abstract: As many as 104 patients with lymphogranulomatosis, clinical stages I-II, having an unfavourable prognosis were examined for the efficacy of polychemotherapy and combined treatment. Polychemotherapy was received by 47 patients, combined treatment (chemo- plus radiotherapy) by 57 patients. Complete remissions were attained significantly more often in patients given combined treatment (92%) as compared to patients on polychemotherapy alone (64%). After complete remissions relapses occurred in 60% of the patients on polychemotherapy and in 13% of the patients receiving combined treatment. The 7-year survival without any relapses was significantly higher (85%) in patients on combined therapy as compared to patients given polychemotherapy (36%). However, the 10-year survival appeared the same in both the groups (87 and 88%). Splenectomy affected neither the rate of relapses in both the groups nor the immediate treatment efficacy or survival.
