Comparison of chemotherapy to radiotherapy as consolidation of complete or good partial response after six cycles of chemotherapy for patients with advanced Hodgkin's disease: results of the Groupe d'études des Lymphomes de l'Adulte H89 trial

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.
