[Long-term (over 10-years) survival in Hodgkin's disease]. / Dlugotrwale (ponad 10-letnie) przezycie w chorobie Hodgkina.

ABSTRACT

61 patients with Hodgkin's disease, i.e., 40.9% of all HD pts hospitalized in the years 1970-1981 are more than 10 years survivors 46 are alive and 15 died of underlying disease or its complications. The most important prognostic factor at diagnosis was clinical advancement and the form A or B of HD. Age and sex also influenced survival but to a lesser degree. Patients living in CCR were more likely to have MC histology than those with relapsing disease, who more often showed LD and LP type. Among 5 persons with second neoplasms four disclosed NS type of HD. No statistical differences in clinical prognostic factors were encountered between further alive and those who died after more than 10-yrs. Almost all patients were able to normally continue their familial and professional lives.
