Brief Summary

The purpose of this study it to evaluate the effectiveness of radiation therapy limited to above the diaphragm in patients with pathological stage IA-IIA Hodgkin's disease.

Detailed Description

  • Eligble patients will receive a course of radiation therapy directed to above the diaphragm only.
