A survival and mortality study of all the patients referred to the radiotherapy department between 1970 and 1980 with a diagnosis of Hodgkin's disease was performed. Generally, black patients with cancer have a poorer survival rate compared with that of white patients with cancer, as reported by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. In this series, no difference in survival and mortality was found between patients of the two races when they were compared in each stage of Hodgkin's disease.
对1970年至1980年间转诊至放疗科且诊断为霍奇金病的所有患者进行了生存和死亡率研究。一般来说，正如美国卫生与公众服务部所报告的，癌症黑人患者的生存率低于癌症白人患者。在本系列研究中，当比较霍奇金病各阶段的两个种族患者时，未发现生存和死亡率存在差异。
