However, the relapse rate with radiation therapy alone ranged from 20 to 40%,1-3 and extended-field radiation therapy and total lymphoid irradiation were associated with the occurrence of secondary solid tumors.4-8 The integration of a chemotherapy regimen consisting of doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine (ABVD)9 with radiation therapy resulted in greater efficacy and allowed the . . .
