Abstract

In the Federal Republic of Germany three consecutive multicenter studies on childhood Hodgkin’s disease have been undertaken since 1978 (Brämswig et al. 1987; Breu et al. 1982; Schellong et al. 1985, 1986a, b, c). Up to 1987 more than 500 children under the age of 16 years have been treated in these studies at more than 60 centers, including some hospitals in Austria and The Netherlands.

Supported by the Bundesminister für Forschung und Technologie of the Federal Republic of Germany.
