[Hodgkin's disease in developing countries].
The presentation of Hodgkin's disease (HD) is not the same in western countries and in developing countries. In the latter HD remains a severe disease partly because of a delayed diagnosis. Pathology is less favorable, stages are more advanced. Young patients are even more afflicted. Despite difficulties to treat patients, oncologists have to move to treat as well as possible potentially curable disease in order to save many years of active life. HD would be a good model to promote multidisciplinary centers where patients could be cared and cured in the best conditions.
