title: [A ventral mantle technic with dorsolateral mediastinal saturation in the radiotherapy of Hodgkin's disease].
abstract: Between 1975 and 1981 69 patients suffering from Hodgkin's disease stage I to III were treated by radiotherapy exclusively. In contrast to the standard modalities the mantle was treated only through a ventral portal with dorsolateral boost to the posterior mediastinum. The geometrical treatment arrangement and the modalities of dose application yielded favourable dose distributions and single doses within the target volume. The analysis of failures showed no in field-failure, six marginal recurrences, and 17 distant failures, which are not related to the technique of irradiation. The described technique of mantle irradiation seems to be equivalent to the standard technique with regard to tumor control and side effects.
