A comprehensive text which covers the important clinical aspects of Hodgkin's disease. Topics include new ideas on management, better selection of patients for radiotherapy, avoidance of surgery by decisions taken with knoweledge of prognostic factors, and combination chemotherapy.
This book records the developments of the past 20 years, during which knowledge of the biology of Hodgkin's disease has greatly increased and has been paralleled by new ideas on its management. Patients are more accurately selected for radiotherapy by lessons learned from staging laparotomy. Surgery can be avoided by management decisions taken with knowledge of prognostic factors of survival. Combination chemotherapy allows for the first time curative treatment for patients with advanced disease, and it has suggested new approaches to chemotherapy of other malignancies. Treatment choice has been influenced by the recent knowledge of the histopathology and cellular biology of Hodgkin's disease. This book is therefore timely, and the authors have produced a comprehensive text that covers the important and clinical aspects of the subject. It records the wide international range of views and serves as a survey of present knowledge.
