title: [Specifics of Hodgkin's disease in children younger than 10 years].
abstract: The study group of patients under 10 years of age formed on the basis of certain clinico-epidemiological criteria proved to differ in some respects substantially from those under 15 years, including the end-results. The latter findings cannot be accounted for by insignificant differences in prognostic factor frequency alone. It is suggested that the significantly worse end-results recorded for the older patients be attributed to factors like pubescence and age-related changes in the body.
