THE PLACE OF SURGERY IN MANAGEMENT OF HODGKIN'S DISEASE*

In its earlier stages, Hodgkin's disease is potentially curable by radical irradiation. In order to assess the radiotherapeutic field requirements, it is essential to determine accurately the extent of disease involvement. When the exact extent of disease is otherwise not known with certainty, laparotomy is a valuable but not infallible aid to staging. Laparotomy is best used in conjunction with lymphography. Splenectomy is valuable both in staging and in reducing the extent of irradiation.
