Abstract:
A direct method for the evaluation by computed tomography (CT) of the neoplastic mass (tumor burden [TB]) has been adopted in 34 patients diagnosed with Hodgkin's disease in the early stage. Stressed are its prognostic value, and its correlation with the clinical and laboratory parameters usually adopted in the staging of the disease and in its follow-up. It is concluded that the CT-calculated TB is a reliable index showing good correlation with other commonly used prognostic parameters.
