The period under consideration was extended to 1951, in contrast to previous reports which included cases seen through 1948, in order to allow analysis of the recent experience with nitrogen mustard in the management of Hodgkin's disease.The specific purposes of the present study on Hodgkin's disease are similar to those in previous surveys: (1) to analyze statistics relative to age at onset,...Bibliography1.
