twenty-seven patients with advanced Hodgkin's disease who failed MOPP (nitrogen mustard, vincristine, procarbazine and prednisone) were treated with adriamycin, bleomycin, vinblastine, and imidazole carboxamide, (ABVD). Complete response (CR) was achieved in 22% of patients and partial response was
Since the introduction of mechlorethamine, vincristine, procarbazine, and prednisone (MOPP) chemotherapy, children with Hodgkin's disease (HD) have been treated with chemotherapy alone. The occurrence of side effects related to irradiation (especially secondary solid tumors) is less likely to occur.
A 26-year-old man developed myelodysplasia rapidly progressing to acute myelomonocytic leukemia 3 years after receiving three cycles of ABVD chemotherapy and upper mantle and upper abdomen radiotherapy for stage IA Hodgkin's disease.
