Abstract

Patterns of care for Hodgkin's disease in the United States were surveyed through voluntary audits of hospitals with cancer programs nonapproved and approved by the Cancer Commission of the American College of Surgeons. Four hundred and seventy‐three hospitals reported 6,345 patients diagnosed immediately preceding December 31, 1975. The survival rates varied with age, being better at younger ages and worse in the elderly. By pathologic stage, the younger patients faired better than the elderly in each stage grouping. Histologic type was not a factor in this poor prognosis. Hodgkin's disease in elderly patients has a different biologic behavior than in younger patients.

## Summary The results of surgical staging in Hodgkin's disease in 107 patients under the care of one surgeon over an 8-year period are presented. The inaccuracy of clinical staging is re-emphasized as 43 per cent of patients had their disease stage altered by surgical staging. Lymphangiography cor
