[Radiation injuries in patients with lymphogranulomatosis in prolonged clinical remission].
The paper is concerned with a study of long-term side effects following radiation therapy in Hodgkin's disease patients with a complete clinical remission. A total of 98 patients (the 1st group) received betatron radiation-split course in 1973-1979 and 68 patients (the 2nd group) received gamma-therapy continuous course in 1968-1974. It was shown that radiation injuries in the 1st group were less frequent. Their development was influenced by a volume of irradiated tissues, the value of a total focal dose and a significant duration of the patients' life. The frequency of radiation injuries was insignificant as compared to the number of the cured patients or the patients fit for further work and studies.
