Between April 1969 and December 1974, 37 patients with surgically staged III A Hodgkin's disease were treated with total nodal irradiation (TNI). Their probability of relapse-free survival at 7 years is 51% and overall survival 82% with the majority of patients remaining disease free after retreatment with MOPP (10 of 16). In contrast, 21 stage III B patients treated with TNI and MOPP chemotherapy over the same time period have a relapse-free survival of 74% and overall survival of 91%. Because of superior results in treating stage III B patients with combined modality treatment, we fell that a relapse-free survival of 51% may not justify continuation of TNI as the only modality of treatment for patients with stage III A disease, and we have initiated a trial of combined radiation therapy and MOPP chemotherapy in these patients. The most effective treatment of stage III A Hodgkin's disease, however, remains uncertain and depends both on the ultimate risk of combined modality treatment and the success of retreatment following relapse after radiation.
1969年4月至1974年12月期间,37例经手术分期为ⅢA期的霍奇金病患者接受了全淋巴结照射(TNI)治疗。他们7年无复发生存率为51%,总生存率为82%,大多数患者在接受MOPP再治疗后仍无疾病复发(16例中有10例)。相比之下,同期21例接受TNI和MOPP化疗的ⅢB期患者无复发生存率为74%,总生存率为91%。由于联合治疗在治疗ⅢB期患者方面效果更佳,我们认为51%的无复发生存率可能不足以证明继续将TNI作为ⅢA期疾病患者的唯一治疗方式是合理的,因此我们已在这些患者中开展了放射治疗与MOPP化疗联合治疗的试验。然而,ⅢA期霍奇金病最有效的治疗方法仍不确定,这既取决于联合治疗的最终风险,也取决于放疗后复发再治疗的成功率。
