Abstract
This study reports the follow-up after 22 years of 62 treated cases of HODG KIN'S disease. Complete remission was obtained in 66% of cases versus 31% o f incomplete remission and 3% of failures. Overall survival of patients ran ged from 10 days to 48 months. Real event-free survival was difficult to es timate given that 40% were completely lost to follow-up. The most frequentl y encountered disorders were haematologic ones. The difficulties were direc tly linked to precarious socio-economic conditions for most patients.
