[Diagnosis and treatment of lymphogranulomatosis in children].

Abstract

Since more than 10 years there has been an informal pediatriconcological co-operation between Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland, GDR, CSFR, and USSR. In regular intervals an exchange was made for the coverage and care for oncologically affected children, on epidemiological, diagnostical and therapeutic results. Prospective co-operative therapy studies, however, could not be accomplished, with the exception of this retrospective analysis of M. Hodgkin covering 750 children, 465 boys and 285 girls according to age of disease, primary clinical division of stages, histological variant, applied treatment and their total findings. Thus, the demand for prospective studies of treatment is emphasized.
