| Popis: | Objective: To evaluate the outcome of using radiotherapy (RT) alone to treat patients with early-stage Hodgkin’s disease (HD). Method: The records of 28 patients with HD treated with RT alone at Kuwait Cancer Control Center between 1980 and 1998 were reviewed. Results: Twenty-three patients had stage I HD and 5 stage II. Two patients had B symptoms, 12 (42.9%) patients lymphocyte-predominant histology, 9 (32.1%) nodular sclerosis and 7 (25%) mixed cellularity. Overall survival and relapse-free survival at 10 years were 100 and 83%, respectively. Conclusion: Our data indicate that the use of RT alone for treatment of early stages of HD appears to be effective. |
