One hundred sixty-six patients with clinical stages IA, II/sub 2/A Hodgkin's disease were treated between April 1972 and December 1976 with three courses of multiagent chemotherapy (methylchlorethamine, vincristine, procarbazine, prednisone) followed by mantle irradiation - excluding mediastinum for those with initial upper cervical presentation and absence of mediastinal involvement - or inverted Y radiotherapy. With a follow-up of 12 to 84 months, the overall survival is 93.5% and the overall relapse-free survival 89.9%. With chemotherapy-radiotherapy sequence, staging laparotomy is not indicated. Results and side effects of this treatment strategy are compared with those of other treatment policies.
