[Treatment of Hodgkin's disease, clinical stage I and II. Results obtained in 100 patients by combination of 1 or 2 cycles of chemotherapy with radiotherapy].

The results obtained by chemo+radiotherapy in 100 patients with Hodgkin's disease at stage I or II as defined by clinical and radiological staging are analysed. All patients were treated by chemotherapy followed by radiotherapy; 74 received a complement chemotherapy after the radiotherapy. Statistical analysis emphasizes the usefulness of associating two cycles of chemotherapy with the classical radiotherapy. With this treatment which gives a constant remission rate of about 90% a long-term chemotherapy is no longer necessary and the interest of exploratory laparotomy becomes negligible.

[Infectious complications of malignant lymphomas. Evaluation of 411 infections observed in 629 patients].

The main clinical and paraclinical characteristics of 411 infections which occured in 629 patients with malignant lymphoma, treated between 1960 and 1973, are reported here. The theoretical interest of such cases is emphasized, they permit one to contrast Hodgkin's disease with other forms of lymphoma in view of the very marked paraneoplastic immune deficiency in the first group. The practical, diagnostic and therpeutic problems raised are exceptionally difficult and may become even more simple with more efficacious anticancer therapy which, curing more regularly patients from their blood disease, avoids the factors which favour these infections.
