Early bone marrow transplantation in Hodgkin's disease.
Bone marrow transplantation can be curative for patients with advanced Hodgkin's disease. Results are better when patients are transplanted after only one chemotherapy regimen at a time of minimal disease. Clinical trials are beginning testing bone marrow transplantation as part of the initial treatment for patients with widely disseminated, poor prognosis Hodgkin's disease.
