Advanced Hodgkin’S Disease

Thirteen patients who had relapsed or failed to obtain a complete remission after combination chemotherapy for the treatment of advanced Hodgkin's disease were treated with subtotal or total lymphoid irradiation with curative intent. Twelve of the 13 patients achieved a complete response (CR). Five of the 12 CRs subsequently relapsed at 3, 9, 9, 12, and 19 months. One patient died of leukemia 11 months following radiotherapy. The actuarial relapse-free survival at 1 year was 60%, and six patients (50%) remain disease-free with a median follow-up of 34 months (range, 10 to 115 months) following the completion of radiotherapy. Patients who failed to obtain a CR to their initial chemotherapy, whose chemotherapy CR was of short duration, or who relapsed initially in extranodal sites, tended to have a worse outcome with radiotherapy. Patients who had long disease-free intervals after initial chemotherapy or relapsed only in nodal sites tended to do relatively well. Radiation therapy was well tolerated with no major toxicity. Potentially curative radiation therapy should be considered an option in the management of selected patients who relapse following combination chemotherapy for advanced Hodgkin's disease.

Advanced Hodgkin’S Disease

Between 1972 and 1984, 17 patients with advanced Hodgkin's disease failing intensive combination chemotherapy in previously unirradiated nodal and/or pulmonary sites were treated with salvage radiotherapy. Treatment consisted of comprehensive wide field radiotherapy to all known areas of disease. Doses administered to these fields ranged from 1,700 to 5,000 rad, with only three patients (18%) receiving less than 3,000 rad to any field. With a median follow-up of over 4 years, 88% achieved a complete response, with median actuarial disease-free survival (DFS) of 19 months (range, 4 to 61+). Actuarial median survival was 64 months, with a range of 4 to 134+ months. Nine patients (53%) are currently alive with three (18%) in continuous complete remission (CR) for 24, 30, and 61 months. In addition, four patients relapsing after salvage radiotherapy are now in CR following additional therapy. Patients younger than 35 years of age had a significantly increased overall survival when compared with older patients (P less than .005). An initial complete response to chemotherapy lasting 12 or more months appeared to be a favorable prognostic factor, although small patient numbers preclude statistical significance. Comprehensive salvage radiotherapy is of significant benefit in patients with advanced Hodgkin's disease relapsing after combination chemotherapy in nodal and/or pulmonary sites.
