[Novel approaches to combination therapy of Hodgkin's disease]
Abstract:
Data on 668 patients receiving 4-8 cycles of chemotherapy were used to suggest the following approach to complex therapy of Hodgkin's disease: devise a simplified model for Hodgkin's disease, develop a new modality of chemotherapy, demonstrate feasibility of only four chemotherapy cycles in the poor prognosis group, partial response as the ultimate goal of chemotherapy as well as the importance of subtotal dosage under 26-36 Gy sufficient for irradiation of the entire lymphatic collector. Said measures will, in their totality, offer fresh opportunities in treatment of Hodgkin's disease.

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
