A computer database was created to take care of a wide range of protocols for combined treatment of Hodgkin's disease stage I-IV (n=1,573). Early-onset radiation-related injuries (pneumonitis) and exposure of lung tissues to radiation were identified as the main risk factors for cardiopathology development. It is suggested that total focal dosage used after chemotherapy be reviewed since total dosage for the entire lymph collector in excess of 30 Gy might contribute to hazards of cardiopathology. However, a locally administered TTD ranging 36-44 Gy to deal with residual tumor offers best advantage in preventing local relapse. Nor does it increase the risk of future complications. Our approach might promote individualization of prognosis as far as cardiac complications involved in Hodgkin's lymphoma are concerned.
