The treatment of advanced Hodgkin's disease (HD) with chemotherapy
(CTx) alone or combined modality treatments has been controversial. In
1989, we designed a randomized study to compare 2 cycles of CTx to
(sub)total nodal irradiation (RTx) as consolidation treatments for
patients with stage IIIB/IV HD in complete remission (CR) or good
partial response after 6 cycles of CTx. A total of 559 patients were
randomized to receive 6 cycles of MOPP/ABV (mechlorethamine, vincristine, procarbazine, prednisone/Adriamycin [doxorubicin], bleomycin, vinblastine) hybrid (n = 266) or ABVPP (n = 267).
After induction treatment, 418 patients could be evaluated for the
consolidation phase. With a median follow-up of 48 months, the 5-year
disease-free survival estimates were 80% for 8 cycles of MOPP/ABV,
82% for 6 cycles of MOPP/ABV plus RTx, 68% for 8 cycles of ABVPP, and 75% for 6 cycles of ABVPP plus RTx (P = .01).
The 5-year disease-free survival estimates did not differ between CTx
and RTx, 74% and 79%, respectively (P = .07). After
MOPP/ABV, the 5-year overall survival estimates did not differ between
CTx and RTx, 85% and 88%, respectively (P = .2). After
ABVPP, the 5-year survival estimates were 94% for CTx and 78% for RTx
(P = .002). These results showed that RTx was not superior
to CTx consolidation after doxorubicin-induced CR for patients with
advanced HD. Because of the uncertainty of obtaining a prolonged second
remission for patients relapsing after CTx and RTx and the possible
long-term effects of RTx, we prefer 8 cycles of CTx as standard
treatment when a CR has been achieved after 6 cycles.
