Abstract
The aim of this short monograph from the Fondation Begonié, Bordeaux is to summarize current views on the pathology, clinical features, investigation and treatment of Hodgkin's disease and provide an aid to understanding the fundamental concepts underlying management. This aim is realized in some chapters but not in others. The first chapter summarizes the historical background and the evidence for the neoplastic nature of Hodgkin's disease. The authors conclusion that Hodgkin's disease is a malignancy of reticulum cell origin with the lymphoid population in the node representing a host defence reaction against the cell proliferation is perhaps rather too dogmatic. The suggested use of the SJL/J murine lymphoma as a Hodgkin's model might also be criticized.
