Postchemotherapy staging laparotomy in Hodgkin's disease.

Seventeen patients with Hodgkin's disease who had a staging laparotomy (SL) within 2 months of the completion of initial chemotherapy are presented. Only 1 patient had a positive laparotomy. Postchemotherapy SL allows any residual active disease to be assessed, but the incidence of positive fin...

description Seventeen patients with Hodgkin's disease who had a staging laparotomy (SL) within 2 months of the completion of initial chemotherapy are presented. Only 1 patient had a positive laparotomy.

SL following chemotherapy is therefore not recommended either for patients in clinical remission or for patients with evidence of relapsed disease.
