[Results of treatment of 62 cases of Hodgkin's disease in Côte d'Ivoire]. / Résultats du traitement de 62 cas de maladie de Hodgkin en Côte d'Ivoire.

This study reports the follow-up after 22 years of 62 treated cases of Hodgkin's disease. Complete remission was obtained in 66% of cases versus 31% of incomplete remission and 3% of failures. Overall survival of patients ranged from 10 days to 48 months. Real event-free survival was difficult to estimate given that 40% were completely lost to follow-up. The most frequently encountered disorders were haematologic ones. The difficulties were directly linked to precarious socio-economic conditions for most patients.
