[Multiple chemotherapy (MOPP) followed by either focal or selective radiotherapy in clinical stages IA and II2A of Hodgkin's disease: results after four years of the use of prospective schedule (H 7701) in 79 patients (author's transl)].
Seventy-nine patients with clinical stages IA, or II2A of Hodgkin's disease were treated from January 1977 to April 1980 by a multiple therapy schedule, H 7701. Three courses of MOPP chemotherapy were first given to all patients. They were then randomly allocated to two groups: group 7701 S (38 patients) was treated by mantle irradiation, excluding the mediastinum when this was not initially involved, or inverted Y radiotherapy; group 7701 F (41 patients) was treated by focal irradiation only. After follow-up for 9-48 months (median: 26 months), overall survival was 98,6 p. cent and relapse-free duration 94,9 p cent. No statistical difference exists between the two randomized groups. Four patients relapsed; three are now free of disease after further treatment, while one patient has since died. With this chemotherapy-radiotherapy selective of focal sequence, staging laparotomy is not indicated. Results and side effects of this treatment schedule are compared with those of other treatment strategies.
