A 26-year-old woman with Hodgkin's disease was treated with multiple-agent chemotherapy at 26 weeks' gestation. She responded well to therapy. Labor was induced at 38 weeks' gestation, and a normal male infant was delivered with no complications. The patient and infant continue to do well at 8 months following delivery. This is one of the first reports of multiple-agent chemotherapy used in early pregnancy.
