[Clinicopathologic analyses of eleven patients with Hodgkin's disease].
Clinicopathologic analyses were performed on 11 patients with histopathologic diagnosis of Hodgkin's disease which was confirmed immunohistochemically with the use of anti-Leu M 1 which is known to be specific to Reed-Sternberg cells. Patients with clinical stage II developed infradiaphragmatic involvement after Mantle field irradiation and should have been treated with extended field irradiation or combined modality therapy because of the possibility of PSIII1. Maintenance VENP therapy seemed to sustain remission but may have caused opportunistic infections. There were no rearrangements in either immunoglobulin or T cell receptor genes studied in two patients.
