Abstract

In 160 children with Hodgkin's disease, lung involvement was studied. In 14.4%, lung lesions were diagnosed at the first admission and an additional 7.5% of patients developed lung lesions in the course of the disease. As a rule lung involvement was observed in advanced disease. It has been stated that there is no particular difference in the response to treatment in any particular type of lesion, spread either by contiguity or dissemination. Of all methods of treatment, combination chemotherapy (MOPP programme) showed the best results. In our series of children it was not possible to show any advantage to favour irradiation as against combination chemotherapy in the treatment of lung lesions.
