Treatment of advanced Hodgkin's disease by associating vincristine, adriblastine, prednisone and procarbazine is compared with other widely employed protocols. Most subjects in the series had already received one or more drugs and had relapsed. In spite of this, 60% were still in complete remission one year after the administration of 6 courses of the new association. An account is given of maintenance therapy in Hodgkin's disease once remission is obtained, and the problems thus raised are illustrated.
