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.
