[Long-term results of polychemotherapy for Hodgkin's disease in children].
In 1974-2000, 49 patients (up to 15 years), with Hodgkin's disease at different stages, for different reasons, received polychemotherapy alone. Overall 5-year survival was 72.4%; 10 years-64.5%, and 15 years--52.7%. A correlation was established between survival, on the one hand, and stage and general symptoms, on the other: stages--I-IIIA--76.8%; IIIB-IVAB--37.7%; polychemotherapy--6 cycles--67.9%; more than 6 cycles--100%; age up to 10 years--75.8%; more than 10 years--45%.
