[Psychosocial repercussions of the the treatment of Hodgkin's disease. Assessment by questionnaire with 150 patients].

One hundred and fifty patients, treated for Hodgkin's disease (stages I-IIIA) in a cooperative trial and remaining in complete remission after 2 to 7 years, answered a questionnaire dealing with psychosocial status and quality of life. Many informations were gathered and studied by multiparametric methods. Quality of life of patients appears determined by three kinds of parameters: patients' characteristics (age, sex, family and work status); stage of the disease determining the intensity and duration of treatment; practical conditions of treatment. These last parameters may be improved by therapeutic team and all care-takers to decrease bad consequences of disease and treatment and also to increase quality of life after cure.
