The discovery of 4 cases of Hodgkin's disease that A had been treated surgically with long-term survival without recurrence led Slaughter and Craver1 (in 1942) to speculate about "unicentric" Hodgkin's disease and the possibility that early detection would result in a "cure" through surgery.In 1951 Craver2 came to the following conclusion:If the disease is detected while still apparently restricted to one site, and if this early focus is accessible for surgical removal, one may always consider radical surgery as the primary treatment. Not many such cases are seen, except by the general practitioners, and relatively few attempts have . . .Keywords
