✦ Synopsis

A retrospective study of 163 patients with Hodgkin's disease treated between 1969 and 1987 was performed to identify adverse prognostic factors. One hundred and thirty-five patients (83 per cent) attained a complete remission and 42 (31 per cent) of these have relapsed (median follow-up-43 months). Using multivariate analysis, no independent factors predicted for the event of relapse. However, analysis of disease-free survival revealed that females fared significantly worse than males (p< 0.05) and this was independent of other prognostic variables. Female sex has not been recognized as an independent prognostic factor predictive of inferior survival and inferior disease-free survival.

## Abstract There is now widespread evidence that female survivors of Hodgkin's disease who have been treated with supradiaphragmatic radiotherapy are at an increased risk of breast cancer. Mantle irradiation, which includes irradiation of the mediastinum, conveys a particularly high risk. Previous

Hodgkin's disease (HD) is associated with the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in approximately half of cases. This is a report of a case of nodular sclerosing HD of the B-cell type that was associated with EBV in the initial manifestation, but was found to be EBV-negative in the relapse of the tumour. Both
