Norum, E. Wist] The great majority of patients with Hodgkin's disease (HD) are successfully treated. However, several reports on treatment sequela have been published. The object of this study was to examine the quality of life (QOL) among survivors of HD focusing on gender and treatment modalities. All patients treated for HD at our oncological unit between 1985 and 1993 (n=55) were registered. In December 1994, 49 survivors were mailed a questionnaire consisting of the EORTC QLQ-C30. Forty-two patients responded (86%). They reported a low frequency of symptoms and a high level of functioning. There was a significant correlation between mantle field irradiation and dyspnoea (p=0.023). Females reported a significantly superior global quality of life (p=0.016) and a lower fatigue score (p=0.040) compared to males. Almost half of the patients reported financial difficulties. To improve QOL among survivors of HD, groups at risk have to be identified. Patients treated with mantle field irradiation and males seems to be at a higher risk. Should the treatment of HD be altered towards less radiotherapy and more chemotherapy?
